Course Profile Cog Hill Golf and Country Club
Interesting layouts and well-conditioned courses have lured golfers to Cog Hill for over 70 years. With four regulation courses, Cog Hill tests players at all levels. Courses #1 and #3 tend to be gently rolling, wooded and with mostly elevated greens. They range from very tight to fairly open. There are also a blend of lengths requiring a range of shot making ability. Courses #1 and #3 have enough sand, woods and water to test the accomplished player, but not to punish the beginner. Course #2 (Ravines) is very sporty, championship caliber. Three new holes, a par 3, par 4 and par 5, were constructed for the U.S. Amateur Championship and when substituted for the usual par 3, 4 and 5, are known as the tournament setting. They also permit a hole to be rotated in and out for construction or repair. Course #2 is every bit a championship course with tree lined-fairways, ravines, water, sand and testing greens. Course #4 (Dubsdread) has been ranked nationally since it opened in 1964. It is known not only for its demands on shot making, but for its vast displays of natural beauty. Tight landing areas combined with heavily bunkered, large , undulating greens make the course a test for the best. It is here that the Western Open is contested every year.
