ABOUT CONWAY FARMS GOLF CLUB
ABOUT CONWAY FARMS GOLF CLUB
Lake Forest, IL | Conway Farms Golf Club opened for play on August 3, 1991. The Tom Fazio award-winning course sits on 220 acres in Lake Forest, Illinois, and is designed around Scottish Links golf traditions. In 2023, the golf course was completely renovated from tee to green by Tim Jackson & David Kahn. Every hole, every green, every bunker was touched, and has extremely enhanced the golf experience at Conway Farms Golf Club. The origins of Conway Farms Golf Club trace back to three Lake Forest families whose love for golf was exceeded only by their foresight. Their vision for a first-rank golf club began with the purchase in 1956 of a farm straddling a stretch of old Conway Road, thus giving rise to the name Conway Farms. Conway Farms Golf Club is dedicated to the protection and preservation of the game, encouraging walking, fast play, and the strong support of championship golf.
