For decades, Inverness Golf Club has had one of the best Caddie Programs in the metro Chicago area. Our members and golf staff take great pride in developing young people and we are proud supporters of the Western Golf Association Evans Scholars Foundation (WGAESF) which provides full tuition scholarship and housing for deserving caddies. We currently have a number of caddies enrolled in top schools across the Midwest after receiving the Evans Scholarship.
Local high school boys and girls have sought to work in IGC’s caddie program since its inception. Not only is the club a prestigious place to work, but there are many benefits including, but not limited to, good compensation, food and drink provided during your loops, and free golf privileges when applicable. The Caddie program provides opportunities to gain interpersonal experiences, build teamwork, and instill an understanding of hard work. Some of the responsibilities they have include:
