What Makes Cog Hill Golf & Country Club a Lemont Legend

Neighboring Lemont and celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2029, Cog Hill Golf & Country Club is one of the most legendary public golf courses in the nation and welcomes golfers of all levels to come and take a swing.

In 1927, Cog Hill opened its gates to the public during the 4th of July weekend. Thanks to the enthusiastic support and visits from Chicagoland community members, the golf club expanded two years later when its three founding brothers purchased an additional 160 acres of land. Almost one hundred years later, Cog Hill has been awarded numerous local, regional, and national accolades.
