 The 50's teenage caddie, Nov 14, 2010 |
| reviewer: James Aitchison
from Summerfield Fl |
| In the early 50's a friend and i used to ride our bikes up to the course in the summer from Elmhurst to caddie Many great memories I think we got $2 for 18 holes. No carts at that time. I also caddied at the Westward Ho Country Club in Northlake in the late 40's.It was on Wolf road just north of the cemetary. After retiring I took my 1st golf lesson and now play 4 times a week |

 Don't have a wedding at this club!, Aug 01, 2004 |
| reviewer: A disappointed family member.
from Illinois |
| In July, I attended a wedding party held at the country club. Before you plan your party... get at least five recommendations from previous party members. Believe me... you won't be having your party there! |

Great Day, Jun 22, 2004 |
| reviewer: Jim Dunning
from Phoenix, AZ |
| Played last Thursday with 3 of my cousins (one is a member) Had a fantastic time. The course is tight but fair and the greens are slick but true. 18 is a great finishing hole. If you haven't golfed with Caddies, this is a great place to try them as the two we had were great. Friendly, helpful in reading greens but invisible when not needed... |
