Shoreacres in Lake Bluff, Illinois, is a private club with an 18-hole golf course designed by Seth Raynor in 1916. The layout sits on rolling terrain that drops toward Lake Michigan, with fairways that follow natural contours and greens that are often elevated or set into slopes. Several holes feature Raynor’s signature templates, including a Redan par-3 and a Biarritz green, while others incorporate deep bunkers and abrupt changes in elevation that dictate shot selection. The routing alternates between open parkland and wooded sections, with Lake Michigan visible from a few vantage points but rarely in direct play. Fairways are generally firm and fast, and the greens are maintained at a speed that rewards precise approach shots. The club has preserved much of Raynor’s original design, including the placement of tees and the configuration of bunkers, while updating irrigation and turfgrass varieties.
