About this course

Wedgewood Golf Course in Plainfield, Illinois, is a public facility designed by Larry Packard, a prolific architect who shaped numerous courses across the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Packard's work typically emphasized playability for a wide range of golfers while incorporating the natural terrain features available on each site. The course serves the southwestern suburban Chicago market, an area that experienced significant residential and recreational development during the 1990s and 2000s. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the glacially influenced landscape west of Chicago, where gentle elevation changes and mature tree corridors often define playing corridors and strategic decisions. Packard's designs generally feature multiple tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels, with water hazards and bunkering positioned to reward accurate shot-making without creating excessive difficulty for recreational players. The property likely includes a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with the routing taking advantage of natural drainage patterns and existing vegetation. As a daily-fee facility, Wedgewood serves local golfers and visitors seeking accessible golf in the Plainfield area. The course operates within the competitive public golf market of the Chicago suburbs, where numerous municipal and privately owned public courses offer varied experiences. Facilities typically include practice areas and a clubhouse with basic food and beverage service, catering to both individual players and organized group outings common to the region's public golf culture.

Getting there

The journey to Wedgewood Golf Course begins at Chicago O'Hare International (ORD) or Midway (MDW), both roughly forty-five minutes north depending on traffic and routing. From either gateway, the drive southwest traces the urban sprawl's gradual dissolution into the outer suburbs of the Will County corridor, where strip malls and subdivisions eventually yield to wider skies and open farmland. Plainfield itself sits at that transitional edge where Chicagoland's reach begins to soften, and Wedgewood emerges as a quiet, accessible retreat tucked into the rolling prairie landscape - an easy escape without the need for winding back roads or prolonged pilgrimage.
