Few clubs in the Chicago suburbs carry the historical weight of Exmoor Country Club. Founded in 1896, it ranks among the oldest clubs in Illinois, and its pedigree shows — this is a course that has quietly shaped the region's golf culture for well over a century. The layout has been touched by some of the great names in golf architecture, and Exmoor has hosted significant USGA and Western Golf Association events over the decades, cementing its place in the American game's deeper history.
Highland Park sits on the North Shore of Lake Michigan, where the terrain rolls with a character that sets it apart from the flatter stretches of the Chicago metro. Mature hardwoods, elevation changes, and firm, fast conditions in season give Exmoor a feel closer to classic Midwestern parkland golf than the manufactured drama of a resort track.
As a private members' club, Exmoor rewards those with access to it — a place built around belonging, tradition, and the kind of golf that improves on repeated play.
