Restorative
Canal Shores
This beloved 18-Hole urban golf course — owned by three different municipal entities and operated by the non-profit Evanston Wilmette GCA — had fallen on hard times with failing greens, tree overgrowth, and antiquated irrigation and drainage systems. Wanting to reemerge as a facility aimed at youth golfers and relying 100% on volunteer leadership and private funding, the golf course was completely rehabilitated under the guidance of Quitno Golf.
Highlights of the new design include all new greens, a 60-yard putting hole, a 25,000 sf putting green and practice center dedicated to junior development and the WGA’s future caddie training program. Several of the new holes are also inspired by famed template holes such as the Punchbowl, Biarritz, Short, Alps and Road.
