Ranked as one of Chicagoland’s top 20 by Chicagoland Golf Magazine, the 18-hole, par 71, contemporary design serves to enhance its gently rolling topography. Moderately sloping with accentuating stands of mature oak trees in scattered places, the championship tees now stretch to 6,848 yards, making it one of the longest layouts in the country. The Midlane course’s 73.4 and 138 slope rating guarantees a challenging round to even the most accomplished golfers. Bent grass tees and large bluegrass fairways give the course an excellent manicured touch, while various greenside bunkers add to the challenge. Natural, spring fed lakes and creeks come into play on seven holes, the most dramatic falling evenly around the layout at the 6th, 12th and 18th holes.

Bent grass tees and large bluegrass fairways give the course an excellent manicured touch, while various greenside bunkers add to the challenge. Bob Lohmann has just completed his newest Championship nine holes at Midlane. From the gold tees the back side measures 3,463 yards, blue tees are 3,254, white play to 3,095 and the ladies tees measure 2,503. Cut through a heavily wooded area the first three holes are tree lined. The next three holes play along an almost prehistoric estuary, and the final three over rolling terrain. The eighth hole give the avid golfer the opportunity to measure their ability against a duplicate of Augusta’s legendary twelfth hole, par three.

The new driving range and learning center boasts a 100 x 300 ft. bent grass tee which features a synthetic, inlaid tee mat for inclement weather along with bunkered target greens placed at the 125, 150, 175 and 200 yard markers and, one of two, practice putting greens.

Natural spring watered fairways constantly provide lush, green surroundings. Asphalt paved cart paths and 26 brightly colored flower beds frame the course. A practice green is situated conveniently adjacent to the clubhouse enabling golfers to practice their putting, chipping and bunker shots while waiting for their turn on the first tee.
