OFCC Master Plan Committee: A Passion for the South Course It is evident from the many discussions, meetings and outcome of this design that our Master Plan Committee members are passionate about our South Course. Our full-scale restoration (now completed) has given a modern twist on a classic Benelow design, challenging golfers of all abilities to Chicagoland's newest gem.   Inspired By Nature Steve Smyers Golf Course Architects and the architects of Golf ’s Golden Era share a common muse –nature. Using the natural topography as inspiration, Smyers and his team have carefully planned the restoration of the South Course, keeping playability in mind. The newly restored course features: - Restructured bunkers - Restored greens to historical shapes and strategy - Reconfigured tee boxes Whether your handicap is 2 or 22, through the strategic positioning of these elements, you will experience maximized playability on each hole, while adding variety of play when desired.
