I have a version of this course published under Ivanhoe Club (Forest/Marsh) LIDAR. I like to think I stayed true to the real course with plantings and look on that course. However, I was starting to work on the 3rd nine holes and decided to change the theme for the entire course. The new theme will be Boreal for all 27 holes. The layout and LIDAR have been left untouched. I have redone a lot of sculpting to smooth all of the rough looks from my first publish. I am happy with how this is looking with the new theme. Below is a recap of the real course information and I have added some new WIP photos.
Ivanhoe Golf Club is locates just SouthWest of North Chicago.
The Club broke ground in 1987, and by 1991 opened with a magnificent 67,000 square ft. Clubhouse unlike any other in the Chicagoland area. Comprised of two distinct dining facilities, meeting and hospitality space, ballroom, clay tennis courts, competition size pool and a second installation of 9 holes which presented a daunting field of play, the Club, rechristened, Ivanhoe Club, became a formidable challenger to all others.
In 2003, Ivanhoe Club began a massive $4.5 million renovation of the courses by world renowned golf architect, Arthur Hills. The re-creation, resulting in 3 distinct nine holes of golf; Forest, Prairie and Marsh, has given the Club the distinction of being regularly recognized as one of the Top 25 Championship Courses in Illinois and was coined the “Rebirth of a Champion”.
Consisting of three distinct nines, Forest, Prairie and Marsh, Ivanhoe offers a thoughtfully developed facility to accommodate play at any level. Five sets of tees offer a variety of options. Course lengths measure from 5,700 yards from the silver tees to just under 7,100 yards from the gold tees. This Arthur Hills designed course is consistently ranked among the top courses in Illinois by Golf Digest, and offers an incredibly diverse typography and aesthetic. Additional amenities include comprehensive practice facilities, award-winning PGA instructional staff and lavishly appointed locker rooms with inviting men's and ladies' 19th Hole Lounges ideal for post round camaraderie.
HOLE#2 (Par 4). Short Par 4, a good tee shot leaves you less than 100 yds on your approach.
HOLE #3 (Par 5) from landing area. Very reachable, but needs a well struck second shot.
HOLE#4 (Par 3) A long (220+yds) considerably downhill. Be sure to club down
HOLE#4 (Behind the Green)
HOLE#5 (Par 4) This short Par 4 is reachable from the tee, if your willing to take the risk.
HOLE#5 (From tee Area)
HOLE#6 (Par 3) Medium length Par 3
HOLE#8 (Par 4) A view of your approach into the elevated green
HOLE#9 (Par 5) Definitely reachable. Tee shot will land you in well sloped fairway, with the ball above your feet for your second shot attempt at getting home in 2
HOLE#9 Second shot is into a narrow elevated green
HOLE#17 (Par 3) Downhill into a large green that slopes dramatically from back to front. Too short on a front pin could find you getting a drink from the creek that runs along the front.
HOLE#18 (Par 4) The tree to the right will challenge you to hit a nice fade off the tee to hit the fairway.
HOLE#18 After a well executed fade off the tee, you are set up with a short iron in
