Oak Brook golf shines
with upgrades and an elevated experience

With summer in full swing, Oak Brook Golf Club is filled with golfers enjoying an elevated experience this summer due to improved leadership and fiscal management by the Oak Brook Board of Trustees. For the first time, revenues generated by golf operations have been reinvested into Oak Brook Golf Club and the results are a big hit with members, residents and golfers.

Through proactive financial management and diligent off-season visioning and planning, the positive changes happening at Oak Brook Golf Club are evident to golfers from the moment they enter the grounds.

The parking lot expansion is complete to accommodate the huge demand.  Finding a parking spot is now an easy and manageable process.

The course itself is in excellent shape this season and golfers are appreciating the new state-of-the-art Visage Club Cart GPS on the carts. This tool supports golfers as they play their rounds by providing accurate distance and course navigation information.

The biggest highlight for golfers this season is the brand-new 22 bay covered driving range. Long recognized as one of the area’s most popular practice facilities, this major enhancement raises the bar for golf practice in the western suburbs.  Now golfers can enjoy heated bays, shaded shelter, extended daily hours and season length as well as access to professional instruction. Whether perfecting a swing adjustment or taking a lesson, golfers can now experience a more comfortable and convenient environment.

Off the fairways, The Grill at Oak Brook Golf has innovated and expanded their culinary offerings. A newly added gluten-free menu section caters to dietary needs, while popular winter favorites like the Friday Fish Fry, pot roast quesadilla, and barbecue ribs are now available all year long. The Grill’s refreshing lineup of summer seasonal cocktails is the perfect way to quench your thirst and cool down after your round.

The driving range is open 7 days a week:

  • Tuesday-Saturday 6:15am to 7:45pm;
  • Sunday 6:15am to 7pm;
  • Monday 11am to 7:pm.

The Grill is open daily

  • Mon-Thurs 8am to 8pm
