2nd Assistant Superintendent
About the Club
Barrington Hills Country Club is a private, member-owned club originally designed and built in 1921 by George O’Neil. Located just 32 miles northwest of Chicago in the quiet town of Barrington, Illinois, the course offers a classic parkland experience across a picturesque landscape. The course features bentgrass tees and fairways, original 1921 bent/poa push-up greens, and Kentucky bluegrass roughs. In 2020, the club completed a bunker redesign led by Renaissance Golf Design, incorporating Capillary Concrete to enhance consistency and playability.
