This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Glen View Club''' is a private [[country club]] located in [[Golf, Illinois]], a suburb just north of [[Chicago]].

==History==
Founded ((Years or months ago|1897)) by a group of Chicago businessmen on March 29, 1897, it was originally the Glen View Golf and Polo Club; its name was shortened a few years later to the Glen View Club.  The club was situated so as to be close to a commuter railroad from Chicago, and the village of Golf got its name from the simple sign – "Golf" – that directed riders from the makeshift station to the course.

In 1899, Glen View Club was one of the founding clubs of the [[Western Golf Association]] and hosted the inaugural [[Western Open]] and [[Western Amateur]] tournaments that same year. Other notable founding clubs included [[Chicago Golf Club]], [[Skokie Country Club]], [[Onwentsia Club]], and Evanston Golf Club.

==Golf==
The par-72 golf course at Glen View measures ((convert|6948|yd)) from the back tees, and carries a rating of 73.4 and a slope ((nowrap|of 139.<ref name=gvclslope/>)) 

Richard Leslie, the first head professional, who consulted with [[Herbert J. Tweedie]] on the design,<ref name="Glen View (Tweedie)">((cite web |title=Brief History of Glen View Club |url=http://www.glenviewclub.com/ |website=glenviewclub.com |access-date=January 31, 2016))</ref> is credited with the original layout of the golf course. 

In 1910, [[Tom Bendelow]] was credited with changes to Glen View’s hazard scheme. Bendelow is well known for his designs at [[Medinah Country Club]], [[Skokie Country Club]], [[Beverly Country Club]], [[East Lake Golf Club]] and [[Olympia Fields Country Club]]. 

In 1913, two of the games most prolific architects, [[Harry Colt]] and [[Donald Ross (golfer)|Donald Ross]], began changes to Glen View. [[Harry Colt]], referred to frequently as H.S. or more formally as Henry Shapland, was known for participating in the design of over 300 golf courses around the globe, primarily in the [[United Kingdom]]. His most notable work in the United States was with [[George Arthur Crump]] at [[Pine Valley Golf Club]], a course frequently ranked as the best in the country. 

[[Donald Ross (golfer)|Donald Ross]] is most famous for his work at [[Pinehurst No. 2]], Interlachen Country Club [[Aronimink Golf Club]], [[East Lake Golf Club]], [[Seminole Golf Club]], [[Oak Hill Country Club]], [[Inverness Club]] and [[Oakland Hills]].

In 1922, select holes of Glen View were redesigned by [[William Flynn (golfer)#Courses designed by Flynn|William S. Flynn]]. Flynn is most well-known for his design of [[Shinnecock Hills Golf Club|Shinnecock Hills]] (on [[Long Island]], [[New York (state)|New York]]). 

The course as it stands today still includes elements from each of the aforementioned architects. 

Glen View was the home club of the legendary [[Chick Evans]] ((nowrap|(1890–1979),))<!--the well-known golfer in the early 20th century and--> the namesake of the Evans Scholars Program.  A member of the [[World Golf Hall of Fame]], he won both the [[U.S. Amateur]] and the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]] in [[1916 U.S. Open (golf)|1916]], and a second U.S. Amateur ((nowrap|in 1920.))

The course has hosted several major tournaments, including the inaugural [[Western Open]] and [[Western Amateur]] in 1899, the U.S. Amateur in 1902, and the U.S. Open in [[1904 U.S. Open (golf)|1904]].  Annual member events include a member-member tournament called the "Royal and Ancient," and a member-guest tournament called "Twa Days."

==Clubhouse==
The original clubhouse was designed by Holabird & Roche, known today as [[Holabird & Root]], with help from consulting architect [[Daniel Burnham]]. The original clubhouse opened in 1898 but was destroyed by a fire in May 1920. The club once again turned to Holabird & Roche to design a new clubhouse that was built on the same site and exists to this day.

==Other activities==
The club also has facilities for paddle tennis, tennis, skeet and trap shooting, ice skating, and swimming.
