DIRECTOR OF GOLF CURTIS MALM (L) and the White Eagle Golf Club are going to welcome another top amateur golf championship to the club.

White Eagle Golf Club in Naperville will host the 2023 Women’s Western Golf Associations (WWGA) amateur championship. Coming up this August, the club will host it’s second Illinois Open Championship in three years.

White Eagle was awarded the 2022 Illinois Open last fall by the Illinois PGA, after an extremely successful hosting of the open in 2020.

Last fall, Director of Golf Curtis Malm, announced White Eagle’s over 10 million dollar series of improvements. Work will be spread out over the remainder of the decade.
