Course Conditions

Beverly Country Club gives the Western Amateur a classic Chicago test.

  • The official course page lists Beverly Country Club at 7,063 yards and par 71.
  • The course page credits George ONeil, Tom Bendelow and Donald Ross with the architecture history behind the routing.
  • Tuesday forecast support pointed to mostly sunny conditions with a steady north wind as stroke play moved forward.
  • Scoring shows players can go low, but Beverly still puts a premium on avoiding mistakes that stack up.
  • Course positioning should matter because the format rewards players who can avoid compounding mistakes before the match-play cut.
  • With the board active, the next update should tie course context only to official scoring and weather support.
