The Onwentsia Club became a twinkle in the eye in 1892 when Charles Blair Macdonald laid out a rudimentary 7-hole course in the garden of Senator Charles B. Farwell's summer estate which overlooked Lake Michigan. The small course on Senator Farwell’s estate gave birth to the Lake Forest Club, using the nine holes at the McCormick farm until they purchased additional property to build a new nine. Lake Forest later added a second nine that was laid out by Macdonald’s future son-in-law, Henry J. Whigham. The club eventually evolved into the Onwentsia Club. Host to the 1899 US Amateur, 1906 US Open and 1915 US Women’s Amateur, today's course extends to a modest 6,645 yards from the back tees and it has been touched by a number of architects; James Foulis, Robert Foulis, H.J. Tweedie and H.J. Whigham. Tom Doak revised Onwentsia nearly a century after the club's formation. Paul Rudovski, one of our US contributors, "loved the layout…wide open with wonderful vistas. Similar to Quaker Ridge and Muirfield, it has nine holes around its circumference surrounding the other nine." This item is for an accompanied round of golf for two.
A note from American Junior Golf Association: The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. We are raising money to support junior golfers who lack the financial resources to compete in national golf events. All funds raised from this auction will be used to provide scholarships allowing these juniors and their families to get reimbursed for travel related expenses, tournament fees, equipment, and other expenses related to being competitive.
The AJGA hosts 140 tournaments a year and college coaches, equipment suppliers, and sponsors are invited to each event giving these juniors a chance to display their skills and earn college scholarships.
Every dollar raised through this auction will go directly back to the juniors and our Liberty National Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant. Tax receipts will be sent to the winning bidder. Questions can be directed to the AJGA by emailing hcollins@ajga.org.
