XVII Review of "Cog Hill #4"

(DUBSDREAD) COG HILL #4, Lemont, Illinois: Founder Joe Jemsek was one of public golf's great pioneers. This course is his symphony. Read about Joe sometime. He drove a golfball 500 yards at the 1934 World's Fair. I won't reveal the details. Look it up. He was an outstanding man and great public access golf in the Chicago area is his legacy. Dubsdread has been hosting the Western Open since 1991. Apparently it still wasn't tough enough, as Rees Jones has been fine tuning the Dick Wilson/Joe Lee design for 2 years in hopes of enticing a U.S. Open to come there. I think that there are 25 sand bunkers on every hole. It sure seems like it. RATINGS: (last available) 75.4/142 COST: $150 including cart
