Bloomington Country Club traces its roots to 1896, when its founding golfers sank tomato cans in Lillard's meadow before the club settled at the Bellemont estate in 1903. A fire destroyed the original clubhouse in 1929, a new one was dedicated in October 1930, and a second nine holes was completed in 1941. The club has hosted the Illinois State Men's Amateur Championship nine times and the Illinois State Women's Amateur Championship five times.
