“Shoreacres is situated on a bluff, where the course offers, and is designed around, stunning, panoramic views of Lake Michigan. While the front nine is relatively flat, the course becomes dramatic between holes 11 and 15, where the routing interacts with deep ravines that serve as forced carries and strategic hazards”.
Description
SHOREACRES, established in 1916, is located in Lake Bluff, Illinois, USA, on Chicago’s north shore. The golf course was founded by a group of Chicago businessmen who were seeking to create a top-tier golf course and commissioned golf course architect Seth Raynor to design the course. Raynor built Camargo around the same time before going on to design Yale and Fishers Island. Initially the club’s founding members had wanted Donald Ross to design their golf course, but his failure to respond to letters led them instead to the emerging Raynor who did a superb job routing his holes across the site with its challenging layout and beautiful views of Lake Michigan. continued..
