The best golf courses in Naperville, 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Greens were running 11.8 and perfect. Course is always just beautiful and the fescue just looks stunning this time of year”

“Brute of a golf course. Notably 6-8 gold being a harsh stretch of holes. 4 and 5 silver can also cause big numbers, but can finish with some birdies on 6-9 Silver. However, I would take a bulldozer to a few greens (5 silver and 7-8 Gold)”

“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.”

“Great $50 walk. Fescue is overly penal. Impossible to find the ball even if it’s six inches in, despite the fescue being only a couple inches tall. I don’t need to be able to play it but I’d like to at least find it when i know exactly where it went”

“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.”
