Description:
MIDWAY. Tight fairways with overhanging trees make getting off the tee vital to scoring well on this challenging Donald Ross course. Rolling fairways result in uneven lies for approach shots to small, very quick greens. Guarded by a number of bunkers, greens can mean trouble. With the majority of greens sloping away, stopping the ball on the green can prove to be a task. |

Description:
SOUTH SIDE. Dick Nugent's masterful vision and design transformed an old landfill into this championship, links-style course. Absent of mature trees and other native foliage, the "man-made" terrain features elevation changes, wispy rough, mounds, and deep bunkers. Poorly played approach shots can result in long putts on the large greens. |

Description:
OAK BROOK. Measuring over 7300 yards from the tips, this immaculate course is long and demanding. Avoiding the creek that winds through the course is the first step toward a good round. Although it's a fairly flat course, firm, fast greens will test you. With a number of bunkers scattered about, trouble can be found just about everywhere. Butler National is the former site of the PGA Tour's Western Open, and the exclusive course can challenge the best. |

Description:
GLENVIEW. Though typically overshadowed by some of the area's more well-noted courses, this demanding course packs a punch. Winding through a densely wooded area, most of this course demands accuracy off the tee and caution on approach shots. Greens are typically firm, increasing the difficulty of stopping approach shots near the hole. With a number of large bunkers, the course demands an impressive short game to help salvage a good round. |

Description:
OLYMPIA FIELDS. While fairness can be found in the width of these fairways, the rough will prove to be severe for errant shots. Large, gaping bunkers that are difficult to play out of surround several fairways and most of the greens. The open nature of this course increases the difficulty level on windy days. Only carefully placed approach shots will leave you a good chance to score on the small, gently sloping greens of this private course. |

WHEATON. With two distinctly different nines, this course's beauty and its surroundings are out of this world. Exquisite landscaping sets the scene for a course that features a significant amount of water. Wide fairways on one nine and narrow, tree-lined fairways on the other make adapting to different layouts a must. The course has a unique history and even features a bunker in the shape of Dick Tracy. |
