Why Westward?
HERITAGE
+ In short, the name Westward Golf Club is a nod to golf history in Oak Park, Illinois.
1898 – 1923
+ Westward Ho Golf Club opened in 1898 in south Oak Park. Soon after, it relocated to another parcel of land on Oak Park Avenue just north of North Avenue in a neighborhood now known as Galewood, where it stayed until 1923.
SWEET LEGACY
+ Following another move to Northlake, the former Westward land became the site of Mars Candy Company, which kept a putting green caliber front lawn for nearly 100 years.
Photos from 1905 show Westward Ho Golf Club’s grounds when it was located in Oak Park, Illinois.
