Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2008, Oak Grove is among only 12 Illinois golf courses ranked 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest. This championship 18-hole course in McHenry County’s gorgeous, rural countryside features the best public greens in Chicagoland. Teeming wetlands, mature treescapes, and generous, manicured fairways add to Oak Grove’s ambiance. Best of all, this exceptional golf experience—the intriguing Steve Halberg design amidst the tranquility of a scenic landscape unsullied by development—is affordable.

Amazingly, “Oak Grove remains Chicagoland golf’s best-kept secret,” says GM Tim Miles, Jr. Oak Grove is extremely playable for all levels with five tee placements per hole, yet ranks among the CDGA’s toughest public courses. This year, Oak Grove hosts U.S. Open Local Qualifying and CDGA Senior Better Ball of Pairs events. With its spacious, relaxed and rustic “the Lodge” clubhouse and its exclusive private setting, Oak Grove is the perfect venue for corporate and other large outings. A manageable 30- to 45-minute drive from most of Chicago’s north and northwest suburbs, Oak Grove is also just 15 minutes south of Lake Geneva, making it an excellent alternative to pricey resort golf just over the border.
