Established in 1906, and one of twenty surviving CDGA founding members, the Park Ridge Country Club’s nines were laid out by noted course architects Herbert J. Tweedie and Tom Bendelow. Significant course renovations were completed in 2001 and 2021 under architects David Esler and Greg Martin, respectively.
The Club's current clubhouse was initially constructed in 1925 and has undergone several expansions and renovations, with the most recent completed in 2025.
Over its 119 years, the Club has built a rich tradition of supporting championship golf events at all levels, including 11 national competitions. In recent years, the Club has hosted the 32nd Illinois State Mid-Amateur Championship (2024), the 121st Women's Western Amateur Championship (2021) and the 100th Western Junior Championship (2017). The Club will host the 100th playing of the Women's Western Junior Championship in 2027.
In 2025, the Club became one of the only clubs in history to have the top four finishers in a previously hosted junior event (2017 Western Junior Championship) simultaneously playing on the PGA Tour (William Mouw, Karl Vilips, Mac Meissner & Akshay Bhatia).
