S2 WILMETTE LIFE enjoyme-nt of the outdoors as man's greatest heritage. ' s ,~~,·ift thought of sport for men alon e. Todav, not only men but women and th~ junior members of the family want to play golf and naturally favor the clubs that supp ly th eir wants. Few can do so adequately. One of those that can, called "Rolling Green," on Rand ,road. provides a 3,000 yard course of nine holes in response to the ncv· order. It is beautifully rolling, well \Yooded and has many natural hazard s including the famous bull rushes, graveyard of a thousand balls. Golfer's Paradise The organizers of Rolling Green pictured in their dreams a club out in the country. yet close to be easily accessib le. out on the hills where the breezes blow every day, away from the du st and smoke of the city and the crowding people. yet very accessible in time and distance. · So the rolling quarter section "-as selectee\ near where Central and Rand road join. Since the land was bought the Cermak Broad Road committee has located the super-highway to Milwaukee at the west edge of the club.. Central road is planned to he a 100-foot east and west superway from Sheridan road and Isabella streets between Evanston and \i\Tilm ette all the way to Elgin. So members of Rolling Green feel that they are sitting pretty from the standpoint of quick tran s po.~tation. · _______________ , January 28, 1927 TERM ROLLING GREEN GOLFER'S PARADISE Course on Rand Road Has Separate Links for Men and Women; Cubhouse to Open Soon By Frank Randall In a fe~ week robins will be back and the glint of the sunshine will be dancing on golf balls spinning over fairways and greens of the many golf clubs on the north shore.
