Tam O'Shanter Golf Course
publicTam O'Shanter Golf Course in Niles, Illinois, carries a storied name in Chicagoland golf history. The original Tam O'Shanter Country Club was one of the most famous golf venues in America during the 1940s and 1950s, hosting the World Championship of Golf and legendary moments including Lew Worsham's hole-out eagle in 1953. Today's public course in Niles preserves the historic name while offering an accessible, affordable 18-hole experience in the inner northwest suburbs. The current layout serves a dense population of Cook County residents with a parkland design that prioritizes community access over championship difficulty.
Tam O'Shanter Country Club was founded in 1924 and rose to national prominence under owner George S. May, who introduced spectator admission fees and prize money to professional golf during the club's World Championship tournaments in the 1940s and 1950s. Lew Worsham's miraculous hole-out eagle wedge to win the 1953 World Championship — captured live on television — is one of golf's most dramatic moments. The original private club era ended and the property was redeveloped as a public course.
