About this course
Naperbrook Golf Course is a municipal facility in Plainfield, Illinois, designed by Roger Packard and opened in 1992. The course serves the western suburbs of Chicago as part of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, offering public access golf in a region with a strong tradition of daily-fee play. Packard, who worked extensively throughout the Midwest during this period, created a layout that accommodates the area's relatively flat terrain while incorporating water features and strategic bunkering. The routing makes use of several ponds and wetland areas that come into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to manage risk on approach shots and occasionally off the tee. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while still presenting challenge through green complexes and hazard placement. Tree-lined fairways define many holes, and the property's mature landscaping has developed considerably since opening. As a county-operated course, Naperbrook serves a diverse membership of local residents and visitors seeking accessible golf in the Chicago metropolitan area. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports both casual rounds and organized events. The course remains a steady option for public golf in DuPage County, reflecting the practical design approach Packard brought to many of his municipal projects during the 1990s.

Getting there
The journey to Naperbrook Golf Course begins at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International (MDW), each roughly 30 to 40 minutes from the club depending on traffic patterns across the metropolitan sprawl. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in Wheeling offers a considerably more discreet alternative, positioning you just 20 minutes from Plainfield. The drive west from any of these hubs carries you through the suburban transition of DuPage County before arriving at Naperbrook's manicured grounds in Plainfield - a journey that shifts from urban density to the quiet, rolling fairways that define this classic Illinois layout.
