Ruth Lake Country Club was the brainchild of nine golf-loving businessmen from Hinsdale. Their intention was simple; “We went into this to save the property primarily for ourselves, so that we may enjoy golf, and other summer and winter sports here, in perpetuity at a small expense.”
It is with that we honor these nine great men who first leased the 160 acres, known as the Dixon Farm that surrounded Ruth Lake. The name of our Men’s League is named after them as a group, and our ten teams will be their individual names.
We hope you enjoy the League.
