Dubsdread — where legends and everyday players are tested alike
Some courses earn their reputation one major event at a time. Others, like Dubsdread at Cog Hill, build it through decades of challenging every player who dares to take it on.
Owned and operated by the Jemsek family, Cog Hill No. 4 stands proudly among America’s greatest public golf courses — a true test of skill, strategy, and perseverance. Designed originally by Dick Wilson and Joe Lee and later renovated by Rees Jones, Dubsdread has hosted some of the game’s biggest names through PGA Tour events like the Western Open and BMW Championship. But even without the grandstands and television cameras, Dubsdread’s challenge speaks for itself.
Every shot here demands your full attention. Tree-lined fairways tighten your focus. Deep, strategic bunkers stand ready to catch the slightest misstep. And the greens — subtle, sloping, and sometimes just a little wicked — keep you honest all day long. It’s the kind of course that rewards good thinking as much as good ball-striking.
Photographing Dubsdread is about more than capturing a landscape — it’s about capturing a spirit. A spirit of determination, grit, and respect for a course that never gives away anything for free. This is golf the way it’s meant to be: fair, fierce, and unforgettable.

Each week, we share a stunning golf image and a heartfelt, hilarious, or inspiring story. While they may not always align, both aim to elevate the game and uplift those who love it. These images aren’t for sale—they’re simply here to be enjoyed, just as the stories are meant to inspire, entertain, and celebrate the spirit of golf.
“I didn’t think that the game of golf should be dictated by how far a golf ball goes. It’s how well you play the golf ball, not how far you hit it. And even though I was a long hitter, I always enjoyed shorter golf courses. Frankly, I thought it took more skill to play them – and I thought it was more reward to go work your way around rather than just pounding it out. I could pound it out, obviously, a long way because I hit it a long way, but that’s not what I really thought the game of golf was all about.’’
