Village Links of Glen Ellyn
About this course
Village Links of Glen Ellyn is a nine-hole public facility located in this western suburb of Chicago, designed by David Gill. The course occupies a compact footprint typical of municipal layouts in established DuPage County communities, where residential development and parkland shape the available routing options. The property serves as an accessible entry point for beginning golfers and a convenient practice venue for area residents seeking a quick round. The layout reflects the practical constraints and opportunities of suburban Chicago golf, where relatively flat terrain and mature tree plantings define the playing corridors. Nine-hole courses in this region typically feature straightforward hole designs that prioritize playability and pace over championship length or dramatic hazards. The course operates within the village's park district system, serving both recreational and instructional functions for the community. Glen Ellyn itself sits along the commuter rail corridor west of Chicago, part of a cluster of established suburbs with deep roots in the early twentieth century. The village maintains several park facilities, and this golf course fits within that broader recreational infrastructure. Players can expect a layout scaled for accessibility rather than difficulty, with maintenance and conditioning standards typical of municipal operations. The course provides a functional option for golfers in the western suburbs seeking a brief outing without the time commitment or expense of larger facilities.

Getting there
The journey to Village Links of Glen Ellyn begins at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or the closer Midway International (MDW), each roughly 30 to 40 minutes from the club by car depending on traffic patterns across the metropolitan sprawl. For those arriving by private aviation, DuPage Airport (DPA) sits just minutes away and offers a discreet alternative to the major hubs. The drive west from downtown Chicago gradually sheds urban density, transitioning through the prosperous suburbs of DuPage County until the landscape softens into the tree-lined residential character of Glen Ellyn itself - a village that has preserved its small-town charm despite its proximity to one of America's largest cities. Village Links of Glen Ellyn emerges as a quiet sanctuary within this verdant setting, its modest footprint and intimate nine-hole layout a deliberate counterpoint to the scale and ambition that defines so much of the surrounding region.
