The Centerpiece of the Club is our Spectacular Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design.
The golf course, opening in 1989, weaves through the rolling hills, wetlands and mature oak stands of the property providing a memorable golf experience each and every time. Nicklaus' vision and respect for the natural topography of the land generated a championship golf course that is ranked as one of the "Best Courses in Illinois" by Golf Digest.
Characteristics of Nicklaus' strategic design elements are very prevalent, with elevated tees and large greens protected by deep bunkers. The golf course is visually stunning with dramatic elevation changes, large water features and expansive fairway and greenside bunkers. There are four sets of tees ranging from 5,946 to 7,162 yards. Junior tees are in place as well, providing a wonderful family golf experience.
Built for the Future: In 2015, the golf course underwent an extensive renovation and is in impeccable condition.
- The greens were renovated with a blend of 007/Tyee bentgrass
- The fairways were renovated to Penn Eagle II bentgrass
- The fairway perimeters were planted with Kentucky bluegrass
- The bunker renovation included drainage and sand replacement using the Best Tour Grade Signature Series Bunker Sand
- All tee boxes have been laser-graded to ensure firm/flat surfaces
