Old Oak Country Club is situated only 20 minutes from Chicago, but the beautifully wooded terrain shaded by mature oaks and hickory trees, makes it feel as though it's much further away. Originally opened in 1926, the golf course is one of the area's oldest and even one of the oldest in the state. It has undergone many renovations over the years but it still retains its classic character. The layout offers plenty of variety with drivable par 4s and lengthy par 5s. The rolling topography provides many of the golf course's challenges, from the rolling fairways and undulating greens to the elevated tees and blind shots. Mature trees tower over the fairways, adding another tricky element to the golf course. Old Oak Country Club is challenging but fair and still quite playable, which is why it has long been a local favorite.

Fair Course

Best fairways I’ve played on this year. Includes 3 or 4 rounds in Chicago and dozens in Phoenix, Hilton Head and Illinois. Lots of trees in bloom and everything greening up. Greens were excellent and seemed people here fix ball marks. Challenging course with just enough trouble, water and out of bounds.

Would like to have had covers on carts as wind and cold definitely were a factor. Nice range and practice facility.

Extremely rude staff!

Crappy range balls, is an under statement.

Staff are unbelievably grumpy, and outright rude.

They will kick you off the practice putting, unless you pay for range balls.

Not Jr friendly at all, do not take kids here!!

**Also was told they do not have to honor GolfNow rates**

Great fall day

Got to play with my friend and another twosome. Beautiful day with 20-30 mph wind.

Course was in good shape for the time of year. They are some of the fastest greens for a daily fee course.

Food and beverages were limited, mostly due to the COVID restrictions being implemented the next day.

Would have no problem in playing this course next year. The senior rate makes this place a bargain.

Good times

First time playing was a single and joined a group of three, great guys. Enjoyed the round and the course. Would definitely recommend this course for others. Price was right. Only issue was that their were a lot of piles of leaves on the course and as a group we lost a number of golf balls when they were hit where we should have found them, including the fairway. But the fact that it was November and we were able to play was great. Staff was friendly and course was in great shape. Pin placements were a little difficult on several holes however which made it a little tough.
