Shoreacres

Nestled along the pristine shoreline of Lake Michigan in Lake Bluff, Illinois, Shoreacres stands as one of the most revered and quietly prestigious golf clubs in the United States. As the fifth edition of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup unfolds, Shoreacres provides a fitting stage. It is classic in character, demanding in play, and perfectly aligned with a tournament built on legacy and excellence.

Course Layout & Design Legacy

Built in 1916 and designed by renowned Golden Age architect Seth Raynor, Shoreacres is one of the most enduring examples of classical golf course architecture in the United States. Raynor’s signature approach, defined by bold green complexes, strategic shot values, and a masterful use of natural landforms, has made the course both a connoisseur’s favorite and a true test of competitive play. At 6,838 yards for men and 6,207 yards for women, the course plays to a par of 70. It features a compelling mix of long par fours, intricate par threes, and reachable par fives, all of which will challenge the best collegiate golfers in the game during the Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
