The Course

The course is named after Charles E. “Chick” Evans Jr. who in addition to being the first amateur golfer to win both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur Open in one year, he also founded the Evans Scholars Foundation which provides a college scholarship for qualified caddies.

The North Branch of the Chicago River combines with the West Fork of the Chicago River right inside the golf course. Offering beautiful scenic natural preserves in a serene environment.

This fun, yet satisfying 5,691 yard, 18-hole par-71 course is located in the northern suburbs. A hidden gem on the northside that offers a quality golf experience for golfers of all skill levels. Enjoy a fun and friendly relaxed round of golf whether you are in the mood for 9 or 18 holes.
