Verified 2026-10-23 - Glen View Club
WGA identifies Glen View Golf and Polo Club, Golf, Illinois as the 1899 host. Club-level venue only; historical physical-course identity remains unasserted. No detailed1899 chapter found; use the official summary/venue tables and all-time records, not a fabricated detailed page. The institution and city are verified, but independent historical physical-course continuity is not established in this batch. Keep club-only; do not bind a current course by name alone.

Official summary and all-time champion records for 1899; winner and runner-up are final match opponents, not stroke-play qualifying medalists. Match margin or extra holes is not a stroke total.
