Nestled in the western suburbs of Chicago, Klein Creek Golf
Club is an upscale daily-fee layout that demands accuracy off the tee, and as
you approach its fairly inviting green complexes. The Dick Nugent design
features a good mix of long and short holes, creating a formidable challenge in
a wonderful setting.
If there is one common theme throughout the golf course, it's the pervasiveness of water. Fifteen of the 18 holes at Klein Creek are affected by water.
Measuring a modest 6,700 yards from the back tees, Klein Creek features lush, private club conditioning on 230 acres of gently rolling terrain and features a blend of holes with strategic bunkering, fairway and greenside mounding, dense forests and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. From the back tees the course has a slope of 137 and a 72.6 course rating. Three alternate sets of tees allow golfers of all skill levels to play to their abilities.
While the land does feature significant mounding and undulation, golfers should be able to find plenty of flat landing spots in order to avoid uneven lies. The overall consensus from golfers who experience Klein Creek is that good shots will be rewarded, and bad ones penalized.
Greenside, players will be able to use a wide variety of approaches - with bump and runs, high lobs and accurate pitches and chips all called for.
Klein Creek boasts an excellent collection of par 3s, including the par-3 17th that is considered by many the courses' signature hole.
Make no mistake, golfers will need to bring their best in order to succeed at Klein Creek, a Dick Nugent design that offers country club atmosphere and amenities to Chicago's daily-fee golfer.
Recently, the course unveiled a brand new Web site (www.kleincreek.com). The new interface is designed to help customers search and find information much more efficiently, and gives golfers the ability to book online tee times, search tee time specials, page through and events calendar and join the e-specials club around the clock.
Klein Creek's clubhouse welcomes guests with a contemporary ambiance one would expect in a fine private club. Amenities include a golf shop, restaurant and grill, banquet pavilion and the use of spacious locker room facilities. Klein Creek's PGA professionals are available for private lessons or to help plan your corporate golf outing.
