The Chicago Park District's Jackson Park Golf Course is celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2024. The popular Tom Bendelow-designed municipal course opened on May 11, 1899 and has a history that reads like a golf encyclopedia. Named after Former President Andrew Jackson, Jackson Park Golf Course was built on land that hosted the 1893 World’s Fair and is part of the larger Jackson Park, which extends along Lake Michigan on Chicago’s South Side. When Jackson Park Golf Course opened in 1899, it was the first public golf course west of the Allegheny Mountains and was free to play. The course has been the host venue for the Chicago City Amateur for 119 years, an event won five times by golf legend and Evans Scholarship founder, Charles “Chick” Evans. Long a beacon for inclusivity, Jackson Park has been the home of numerous African-American golfers and leagues, most notably the Bob-O-Links Junior Golf Club for children ages 8 to 17. Bob-O-Links was founded by the Chicago Women’s Golf Club, the oldest African-American women’s golf club in the nation, in 1954. In addition, the Jackson Park Golf Association (JPGA) was created in 1989 as an anchor for minorities’ long-standing use of the course. “We had Tiger Woods join us in 1994 as an example for our young people, and our work continues into the future as we provide college scholarships and more opportunities. With Jackson Park as the backdrop, we’re living JPGA’s mission to provide values, resources, services, opportunities, and community sustainability,” said Tracy Raoul, JPGA Chairperson, President of Ebony Ladies Golf League, and Director with the Chicago District Golf Association and the Illinois Junior Golf Association. https://lnkd.in/gXQdfr4N
