Klein Creek Golf Club
Play one of the Chicago-area’s best courses with today’s feature: $35 for 18 Holes with Cart at Klein Creek in Winfield near Schaumburg ($79 Value. Expires June 15, 2019!)
Carved from 230 acres of superb DuPage County countryside, today’s feature course, Klein Creek Golf Club, is truly a masterpiece of Illinois golf. Designed by the venerable Dick Nugent, who is responsible for some of the area’s most famous course layouts, Klein Creek and its beautiful 18-hole course is the perfect stop for any Midwestern golfer looking for an outstanding round to enjoy.
Conveniently located just south of Route 64 and County Farm Road, Klein Creek’s 230-acre course takes full advantage of the rolling prairie countryside to create an absolutely one-of-a-kind playing experience. Everything from the lush bent grass tees and fairways, to the undulated and smooth-rolling greens are in spectacular condition, creating one of the most pristine playing surfaces in all of DuPage County. The course itself, while certainly playable for golfers of any skill or ability level, does come with quite a bit of challenge built in, mostly stemming from strategically bunkered fairways and greens that are tightly bordered by mature trees, wild prairie grasses, and more than 30 acres of manmade lakes that require precise shot execution to navigate. Playing just over 6,700 yards from the back set of tees, this water-heavy course is even easier to play thanks to Klein Creek’s new Iphone app that will show you everything from weather updates for the course, to GPS data to know which club to play.
If you’ve played a lot of Chicago-area golf, you’ll particularly appreciate the par-4 9th hole at Klein Creek, which is rated as the most challenging 9th hole in the area. Playing over 450 yards from the back set of tees and featuring water on both sides of the fairway, two precise shots are required here to even have a shot at making a par, let alone a birdie. Get through 9 unscathed, and you’ll have great momentum as you make the turn and head to the back.
In concert with the awesome golf course, Klein Creek also features all of the essential amenities you’d expect from one of the area’s best courses. Be sure to stop into the pro shop to grab the latest equipment and apparel, and enjoy a 19th hole treat at the Creekside Restaurant.
