The best golf courses in Lemont, Illinois

“Just a special place worthy of the praise it receives in national rankings. The golden age golf course architecture is the star of the show here. Despite the length not being overly intimidating, the course has various ways to protect itself, specifically the fairway bunkers.”

“Olympia Fields is pound-for-pound everything a golf enthusiast could ask for and more. From the largest locker room in the world to the first-class service the moment you hit the gate, OFCC is a true Midwest gem.”

“Played pre-renovation. Course was tough parkland course. Tight, trees, rough, length, water etc. Par 3s were a bit repetitive which has since been changed. Holes 7-11 all felt the same.”

“This course is a tale of two nines. The front nine is on one side of 87th street and features a prominent glacial ridge that runs through the middle of several holes creating significant elevation changes. The second nine has some big par 4/5s with some crazy Ross green complexes.”

“One of the most difficult courses in the U.S., will absolutely beat you up. Mend only club as there’s only a few left in the country, must play for sure. Green complex and speed is hard to describe. Great finishing holes.”

“The course is always in pristine condition — fast, pure greens, perfect fairways, and rough that still gives you a chance. The layout is so much fun. It flows naturally, has great variety, and the closing stretch from 13 to 18 is just awesome.”

“Dubsdread is about as classic as Chicago public golf gets. A true championship test with a rich PGA Tour history, this Dick Wilson and Joe Lee design still lives up to its “hard but fair” reputation.”

“The second half of the renovation is now complete and all 18 holes are open. The renovation has the course looking amazing. There are still a few quirky holes on the front 9, but the back 9 really shines.”

“Course was in good shape but our whole group said it wasn’t impressive. We were there for an outing and didn’t get to play 3. 1 felt like a muni that was in good condition. Enjoyable enough but nothing memorable and never got the “wow I’m playing Medinah” feeling.”

“Impressive build for a golf course built on a dump. A good club as well. Some quirky holes but a fun round.”

“Enjoyable course, great practice facilities. Front 9 much more links than the back but still fun. Worth playing on a regular basis. Blows away many comparable priced public courses in the Chicagoland area”

“Very nice amenities and an amazing indoor/outdoor bar/range set up that should be more prevalent in the area. Course is fun with unique feature and well maintained. Large restaurant and event space, feel of a nice semi private club w muni availability.”

“Great bones and a great Reno around 2010 to keep this place as close to original as they could. Possibly the best set of par 3s I have personally seen from Mr Ross. #4(3rd photo) is a top 5 hole from Donald”

“The Preserve is one of the better public courses in the Chicago area — definitely a fun spot to tee it up. The practice area is great for warming up, with a nice range and short game setup that sets the tone for the round.”
