The Tam O'Shanter Golf Course (today called "The Tam") is located in Niles, Illinois. The north branch of the Chicago River flows through the course.
The club of George S. May is currently under the ownership of the Niles Park District.
From 1941-1957, the course was host to the All American Open on the PGA Tour.

That was one tough storm."
