The Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892 by Charles Blair Macdonald and other prominent Chicagoans who wanted to play the game they had experienced during their travels to Scotland in Wheaton, IL.   Chicago Golf Club is one of the 5 founding members of the USGA. The USGA recognizes Chicago Golf Club as the oldest 18-hole course in the United States.  It is regarded by various golf publications as one of the top 15 courses in the US and top 25 in the world
 
Chicago Golf has hosted 3 U.S. Open and 4 U.S. Amateur championships, 2 Walker Cup Matches, and the USGA Senior Amateur Championship. The Open champions crowned at Chicago Golf include Joe Lloyd, Harry Vardon, and the first American-born winner, Johnny McDermott. The Amateur champions include H.J. Whigham, H. Chandler Egan, Robert Gardner, and Jerry Travers. The 1928 Walker Cup was won convincingly by a U.S. team captained by Bobby Jones and including Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet, while the 2005 Walker Cup match was again won by the U.S. in a very closely contested match. Bill Campbell, former U.S.G.A. President and R&A Captain, won the 1979 USGA Senior Amateur Championship.

The auction winner and 2 guests will be hosted by Jamie Werly for a round of golf with caddies at Chicago Golf club at a mutually agreed date, during the 2013 golf season.
