The name borrows from one of golf's most revered addresses — Australia's sandbelt masterpiece — but this Royal Melbourne is a private club situated in the affluent northern suburbs of Chicago, in Long Grove, Illinois. The area is well-established country club territory, where rolling woodland and the remnants of the Illinois glacial landscape have long supported some of the Midwest's most serious private golf. Long Grove itself sits in Lake County, far enough from the city to feel genuinely pastoral while remaining within reach of Chicago's substantial golfing population.
Without more specific records on the club's founding architect or tournament history, what can be said with confidence is that private clubs in this corridor tend to be member-focused operations built around quality conditions and a strong sense of community — the kind of golf that rewards regulars who know every subtle break.
The Chicago suburbs have produced and sustained exceptional golf for over a century, from the famous designs of Donald Ross and Tom Bendelow to the modern era. Playing in this region always carries that broader tradition, whatever the address.
