Hinsdale Golf Club

Overview: Hinsdale Golf Club is a private Donald Ross course in Clarendon Hills, Illinois. Its parkland setting and long club history place it among the established golf properties west of Chicago, with a traditional routing that has evolved as the club and surrounding community changed.

History: Hinsdale was founded in 1898. The club’s centennial history notes that Donald Ross has been credited with work on the course, while the surviving record also discusses earlier and later contributors, so the profile preserves Ross as the documented architectural reference without overstating a single-build date.

Did You Know? Hinsdale’s own centennial history is substantial enough to document changing course work across more than a century rather than presenting the layout as an untouched single-period design.
