[Pierre_C]

Olympia Fields C.C. has selected Andrew Green to lead the restoration work on the N. Course. Work on the N. Course expected to behind later this year. The prior renovation work was in 2005, $9.5M - basic facilities improvement & some bunkering.

Course has hosted the U.S Open (1928 & 2003), PGA Championship (1925 & 1961), U.S. Am (2015), Women's PGA (2017), Western Open (1920, 1927, 1933, 1968, & 1971) and BMW Championship (2020 & 2023).  The N.
