Red/Blue at Butterfield Country Club

Butterfield Country Club’s dual courses, known as Red and Blue, represent classic midwestern golf within a traditionally understated, yet deeply ingrained, club culture. Situated in Oak Brook, Illinois, the club prioritizes an active, engaged membership over national recognition.

Designed during the mid-20th century, the Red and Blue courses present a mature parkland style, characterized by tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens. Undulating terrain, a rarity within the region, adds strategic complexity, rewarding shot-making and course management more than brute power. It’s a course that gently favors a draw, with many holes doglegging to the left. The Blue Course is known to be the slightly more challenging of the two.

While not a regular stop on the professional circuit, Butterfield has played host to numerous regional amateur championships, solidifying its role within the Illinois golf community. The club also has a history of attracting prominent Chicago area business leaders and families.
