In 1921, St Mary of the Lake Seminary was established on land donated by the Edward Hines Lumber Company. It was here at the Seminary that Cardinal George Mundelein (Archbishop of Chicago from 1915 until his death in 1939) laid out a 9-hole golf course on 80 acres of land.
Mundelein had been encouraged by his doctor to walk more, and so took to golf, playing in his black topcoat and black fedora. The course was extended to 18 holes in 1929. The neighbouring town to the Seminary was originally called Area, but was changed to Mundelein in 1924 to honor the Cardinal.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
