Owned by the DuPage Forest preserve District. Built in the 1920's as the Elmhurst County Club, the 18-hole, tree-lined classic is one of the most historically significant courses in the Chicago golf community. The course where Golf Legend Ben Hogan won the 1941 Chicago Open.
In February 2009, the clubhouse was struck by lightning and severely damaged by a resulting fire. Three insurance policies, covering the building and its contents as well as the loss of business at the facility, have now been settled and the District can move forward with demolition and rebuilding. A consultant has been hired to analyze the District’s golf operations and make recommendations for the elements to be included in a new facility at Oak Meadows.
Though the clubhouse is unavailable, golf play will continue as usual. Players at Oak Meadows can enjoy beverage cart concessions and light fare at the “half-way house.”
