Shoreacres founded in 1916 and currently ranked #54 on Golf Digest Top 100, #49 on Golf Magazine World 100, and #19 on Golfweek Top 100,  is located in Lake Bluff, Illinois. A short distance from the Club in Lake Forest is where CB McDonald introduced the game of golf to America, on what is now preserved public land. The founding members consisting of Chicago's elite businessmen, acquired the Lake Michigan shoreline property with intentions of building a quiet understated club to escape the busy Country Clubs they were members of already. They hired Seth Raynor to build the golf course which was completed in 1921 and is often considered to be of his greatest works and possibly the finest land of any golf course. Shoreacres consists of unique glacial ravines throughout the property in which the routing sits impeccably using many of the famed Template Holes with many Raynor original designs throughout. The original 450 feet of shoreline frontage to Lake Michigan consists one of golf's great clubhouses designed by David Adler with a view that is second to none.
