Olympia
Fields was incorporated in 1927. It first began to attractattention
in the 1920's and '30s when well-to-do Chicagoansventured
into the area to play golf and enjoy the scenic beauty
ofthe Olympia Fields Country Club. The club hosted the
1928 U.S.Open Golf Championship, and most recently the
103rd U.S.Open in 2003. It also hosted numerous Western
Opens and otherpremier golf events.
Over time, some of these people made Olympia Fields their
year-round residence. Today, the village is still home
to some of
Chicagoland's most successful people.
