Golf at Rolling Green
A Premier Chicago-Area Golf Experience
Rolling Green’s 18-hole golf course offers a rewarding challenge for golfers of all levels. Elevated tees offer an excellent perspective of various holes and challenge players to play to their maximum potential. The well-maintained ponds reflect the blue of the sky and function as both decorations and hazards on nine of the 18 holes. With a slope of 132 and a course rating of 71.5, many holes are demanding and difficult, but the natural splendor of the surrounding makes even a poorly played hole an enjoyable experience. Rolling Green has always maintained one of the best-conditioned golf courses in the Chicago area and greens are cut daily.
The Championship Golf Course hosted Western Open qualifying tournaments throughout the 70s and continues to host Illinois PGA Tournaments. With bent grass tees, fairways and greens, Rolling Green CC offers a fair but challenging test of golf on a course that is maintained to the highest standards.
Caddie Program
Caddies in golf are believed to have started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1817 and since then have been synonymous with the game. Not only can a caddie make a walking round of golf easier on the player physically, but they are also use their expertise to help any golfer with strategic decisions to help lower their score.
At Rolling Green Country Club, we are proud to have a wonderful caddie program that supports the Evans Scholarship Foundation. Each year, caddies from our club are eligible to apply for this scholarship which provides full housing and college tuition for caddies with limited financial means. Rolling Green has at least one winner of this scholarship each year and in many years have three winners
