Oak Brook Golf Club

Oak Brook Golf Club is a private 18-hole facility located in the western Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Illinois. Designed by Roger Packard and opened in 1989, the course occupies land within a mature suburban setting characterized by established tree corridors and gently rolling terrain typical of the region. Packard, who worked extensively throughout the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century, created a layout that integrates the natural topography with strategic bunkering and water features that come into play on several holes. The routing moves through wooded sections and more open areas, requiring players to manage both distance and accuracy off the tee. Several holes incorporate water hazards that influence club selection and approach strategy, while the green complexes feature moderate undulation and are protected by bunkers positioned to challenge approach shots from various angles. The course serves as the centerpiece of a residential community and reflects the design priorities of its era, balancing playability for members of varying skill levels with enough challenge to maintain interest for accomplished players. Oak Brook Golf Club operates as a traditional private club with a membership drawn largely from the surrounding western suburbs. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that serves as a social hub for members throughout the golf season, which runs from spring through fall in the northern Illinois climate.
