Without a doubt it is one of Fazio’s best, with its gentle rolling terrain and beautiful vistas. Incorporating the existing forests, trees and wet lands. Players will be very pleased with the fairways and greens.

The origins of Conway Farms Golf Club trace back to three Lake Forest families whose love for golf was exceeded only by their foresight. Their vision for a first-rank golf club began with the 1956 purchase of a farm straddling a stretch of old Conway Road, thus giving rise to the name Conway Farms. The course opened for play in 1991, 35 years after that first purchase.

The course has played host to numerous amateur championships, including the 1995 Women’s Western Junior, the 1997 NCAA Division I Men’s Championship, and the 1998 U.S. Junior Amateur.

Most recently, Conway Farms played host to the 2006 Big Ten Championships.

Indeed, it is a course fit for champions, and amply prepared to test 40 of the nation’s premier junior golfers as they attempt to earn bragging rights in junior golf’s ultimate team match play event.
