Blue/White at Butterfield Country Club

Butterfield Country Club's Blue/White Course, nestled in the heart of Oak Brook, is a testament to a bygone era where golf course design prioritized strategic challenge over sheer length. Carved from classic Midwest parkland, the course showcases a pleasing variety of mature trees and gently rolling terrain.

Originally conceived by William Langford and Theodore Moreau, the architectural duo known for their bold and often penal designs, Blue/White retains its Golden Age character, though with sensitive modern updates to enhance playability. Players will immediately notice the strategic bunkering and contoured green complexes that demand thoughtful shot placement. Its defining characteristic is a series of demanding par 4's that reward players who can shape the ball and control their distances. The Blue/White is known to subtly reward those with a right-to-left ball flight.

While not a stage for major championships, the Blue/White course holds a revered position among Chicago-area golfers who appreciate its challenging layout and the club's commitment to preserving its heritage. Members can often be found enjoying a post-round beverage on the patio, discussing the nuances of the course and its enduring appeal. The club prides itself on fostering a welcoming atmosphere, a true home away from home, and is noted for its exceptional service and culinary offerings.
