You'll be able to enjoy a round of golf for four (4) and a cart at Midlothian Country Club.

About Midlothian Country Club
Originally designed by well-known course architect Herbert J. Tweedie, Midlothian was the first privately owned club established South of Chicago. The original club included a nine hole auxiliary course. Members and their families had to score 72 or less on the practice course before they were allowed to play the main 18-hole course.

The original clubhouse and the surrounding cottages became a summer colony for dozens of members and their families. Transportation was such a concern in the early days that the club replaced horse drawn "Tally-Ho" wagons with its own railroad. The small locomotive and two passenger coaches made 14 trips daily along the 3 mile system, making Midlothian the only golf club in the world, other than St. Andrews in Scotland, to own its own railroad.

Many amateur and professional tournaments have been contested at Midlothian over the years. Walter Hagen defeated Chick Evans to win the 1914 U.S. Open at Midlothian - the first of his 11 major championships. South African Bobby Locke won the Chicago Victory National Open in 1948 and Billy Casper won Western Opens at Midlothian in 1969 and 1973.

DeJarld was named 2016 National Coach of the Year by Prep Volleyball and Coach of the Year by The Daily Southtown. In 2013, DeJarld coached the McAuley Mighty Macs to the Illinois 4A Championship. Then in 2014, the Mighty Macs, which featured both of DeJarld's daughters - Ryann and Jane - finished the season ranked 7th nationally. That year DeJarld was honored as "Coach of the Year" for her efforts. She also was selected to present at the Men's NCAA Final Four convention in Chicago on the topic of serving to score. Jen has twice been a presenter for The Art of Coaching Clinic.

As a former Mighty Mac Volleyball player herself, Coach DeJarld won two state titles in 1984 and 1985 and went on to play at the collegiate level at the University of Iowa, coached by Ruth Nelson.
