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.

“The Shoreacres membership and staff are thrilled to host the fifth edition of the Jackson T. Stephens Cup to support amateur golf and to be associated with this prestigious event. We look forward to welcoming the talented young men and women competing and hope Shoreacres’ storied history will inspire a special week of golf.”

— Keith Yamada, President of Shoreacres

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. The layout offers a thoughtful mix of long par fours, precise par threes, and scorable par fives, creating a well-rounded test for collegiate players competing in the Jackson T. Stephens Cup.
