Pine Meadow Golf Club

Spread out on approximately 225 acres of land, Pine Meadow offers a fair test of golf for all skill levels. With fairways lined with 250 year old oak trees and pine trees that reach as high as 60', it is easy for a player to forget they're here to play golf. Voted the "best new public golf course in America" in 1986 by Golf Digest, Pine Meadow is currently ranked as one of the best public courses in the country. As you stand on one of 5 tee boxes on every hole, you'll experience the picturesque beauty of an immaculately maintained course that has among its tenants over 50 different species of wildlife. You will hit approach shots from fairways that feel like carpet, to well over 220,000 square feet of greens. St. Mary of the Lake Seminary began in 1921 on land donated by the Edward Hines Lumber Company, and the first class was ordained in 1927. The original course was nine holes on 80 acres laid out by Cardinal Mundelein and went to 18 holes in 1929 because the Cardinal's doctor told him he had to walk. He took up golf and played wearing his black topcoat and black fedora. The town was originally called Area, but was changed to Mundelein in 1924 to honor the Cardinal. The total area of the seminary and course is about 1,000 acres, with the golf course consisting of 220 acres. Joseph W. McCarthy, who worked for Daniel Burnham, was the architect for the original 14 buildings. The 18-hole course was designed by William Flynn of Toomey and Flynn of Philadelphia. Flynn also did the Mill Road Farm Course and the Glen View Club. Joe and Frank Jemsek leased it from the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1985 and had Joe Lee, Rocky Roquemore and Joe T. Jemsek remodel it. Several million dollars later it opened to the public as Pine Meadow Golf Club, and in 1986 was named the Best New Public Course by Golf Magazine and has since been recognized with various awards.
