pr, Ladi ny July 9, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 37 Suburban Club Ideal for Exacting Golfer; | Course Is 36 Holes) BY RAY C. PEARSON The Suburban Golf club, the largest and, it is claimed, the best daily fee course in the Chicago district, opened Saturday and with the three-ply holi- day to favor the inauguration, a start more auspicious could not have been staged. Exact figures were not given out but the reservation list indicated that players were shooting around the course from as early as 5 in the morn- ing until sundown on each of the three days. The new Suburban course, which 1s | located in Glenview--Shermer avenue, | one block north of Glenview avenue-- | is of the championship type. It was | built to appeal to the more efficient or experienced players who wish to avoid | the congestion and delays encountered | at shorter courses. With 36 holes! there are three starting tees, at the | first and tenth of the south course and at the clubhouse tee of the north | course. The course was laid out by Joseph | A. Roseman and the arrangement | which provides 36 consecutive holes of | golf is so balanced that this may be | separated into two eighteen hole cours- | es, both finishing at the clubhouse. | The north course rates as the longest | in the Chicago district, from regular | tee, the yardage being 6,710. The length of the south course is 6,595 yards. A 602-Yard Hole The northern course naturally is the more difficult and provides a revel for | the long driver. One of the features is a 602 yard hole, the eighteenth. There are two water holes on this course, these being the eighteenth and the thirteenth. The bunkers and other traps make the course interesting. Par for the north course is 72, and that will be some figure for the goli- ers to shoot at. Par for the south course is 71. Those who promoted Suburban Golf club have a fine achievement to their credit. This new fee course gives every indication of filling the ever in- creasing demand for golf of this type. It is stated that Suburban was built at a cost of $850,000. Mr. Roseman, who aside from laying out the course is managing director and professional, imparts the information that an ex- penditure of something like $200,000 was necessary to perfect the 36 holes and that three summer seasons were required to complete the job. One of the features of the new or- ganization is a new clubhouse and grill. Cooperate with Chicago Hotels The promoters have displayed an alertness which will figure as an im- portant factor in making success for the new club. An arrangement, unique in golf, has been made whereby visi- tors to Chicago, who have a yen for their favorite pastime, will have the opportunity to sate their golfng appe- tites on the Suburban links. This arrangement has been made with several of the big Chicago hotels who on request will extend to their guests a privilege card enabling those from other cities to play at the new Glenview course These cards may be had at the Stevens, Palmer House, LaSalle, Sherman, Drake, Blackstone, Morrison, Auditorium, Congress and Bismarck hotels. Suburban has arranged an exhibition match for next Sunday which will in- terest - the golfers. Eddie Loos of Lake Shore, Al Espinosa of Illinois, Jim Carberry of Lake Shore and Abe Espinosa of Columbia are the stars who will perform, and there will be no charge. -- The club, which is 18 miles from Chicago's loop, may be reached by the STUDENTS HEAR PREXY Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road | or the Skokie Valley line of the North | Shore Electric road.
