About Oak Brook Golf Club
Oak Brook Golf Club offers a beautiful atmosphere for events, along with delicious food and fresh salads. The well-maintained course provides a good pace of play, although it can get very busy, especially on weekends, leading to longer rounds. Most players enjoy the course conditions, but some have noted that the greens were beat up in places and found the pin locations challenging. The club features nice indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a great place for relaxation after a round of golf or an event. The course layout is interesting and includes several risk/reward shots, which adds to the challenge. The clubhouse and pro shop are very nice, and plenty of parking is available, which is a plus. The golf carts are in good condition and drive well. Overall, it is a popular choice for both golfers and event attendees, who appreciate the wonderful shows hosted by the club. However, travelers needing rental clubs should be aware of the high rental fees, as some find them overpriced.
I have never had a more unpleasant experience golfing. My husband and I came to golf 18 holes. Two different times, right before we got onto the green, the sprinklers turned on. We kindly called the office and said that the sprinklers were on, and they said that they liked to turn them on randomly throughout the day for 4-5 minutes a time. Later, with only two holes left to golf, we were waiting a good 4-5 feet to the left of the tee box in our cart. The course was very full due to a tournament earlier and it being a Friday, so we were waiting for the group in front of us to advance before teeing off. As we were sitting in our cart, a guy comes up to us on a cart, and aggressively says, “Can you not park on the f-ing tee box!?” We said, “Excuse me?” And honestly, I wasn’t aware of what he was saying at first. So he then repeated himself. My husband apologized and said that he didn’t need to be talking to customers that way. We moved our cart, and then waited to tee off. My husband proceeded to tee off to play the hole, but I was embarrassed and had enough and just wanted to leave. Right before my husband was going to chip his ball onto the green, the same guy was standing behind the green and turned on the sprinklers, I’m assuming out of spite. At this point we picked up our balls and just left. Never again will I go to a place that treats their customers this way or people in general. And just to note, this is a picture of the “head greens keeper” with the sprinklers on behind him as we turned to drive away.
