Evanston Golf Club in Skokie re-opened during the 2025 golf season following a year-long renovation spearheaded by Tyler Rae.
As detailed in the February edition of Chicago District Golfer, Rae and his team sought to restore many of the facility’s unique Donald Ross characteristics that date back to its opening in 1919. Rae’s work included modifying some greens back to their original contours, rebuilding bunkers, re-grassing the course and installing a new irrigation system. Additionally, a pond guarding the 18th green was split into two, mirroring the original Ross design. Rae completed similar renovations at Ross staples Beverly and Northmoor Country Clubs.
