About this course
Green Garden Country Club's Blue Course is located in Frankfort, Illinois, a southwest suburban community approximately 35 miles from Chicago. The course was designed by Buz Diddier, a regional architect active in the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Frankfort sits in an area where the glaciated prairie landscape transitions into gently rolling terrain, and courses in this region typically feature modest elevation changes, stands of mature hardwoods, and open corridors that reflect the area's agricultural heritage. The Blue Course serves as one of the layouts at Green Garden Country Club, which operates as a private facility in Will County. Courses designed during this era in suburban Chicago often incorporated strategic bunkering and water features to add challenge to relatively flat sites, with routing that balances playability for members across skill levels. The club provides a traditional country club experience for its membership, with golf serving as the centerpiece of recreational and social activities. Frankfort's proximity to Chicago has made it part of the region's extensive network of private clubs, many of which were established or expanded as residential development moved southward from the city. The Blue Course fits within this context as a member-focused layout designed to accommodate regular play and club competitions throughout the season.

Getting there
The journey to Green Garden Country Club begins at Chicago's Midway International Airport, roughly forty minutes southwest through the suburban sprawl that gradually softens into the rolling farmland of Will County. O'Hare International offers an alternative gateway, though the drive stretches closer to an hour as you navigate the western arc of Chicagoland's outer belt. The final miles along LaGrange Road carry you through Frankfort's quiet, tree-lined streets before revealing the club's discreet entrance - a tranquil retreat tucked into the prairie landscape, far enough from the city's hum to feel like a genuine escape yet close enough to remain effortlessly accessible.
