Description
You and two friends will enjoy a round of golf at Olympia Fields with host member Doug Rothschild. Olympia Fields Country Club has been home to some of the world's most prominent golf tournaments, including the US Open, PGA Championship, Western Open and the U.S. Senior Open. The Club features two prestigious 18-hole golf courses. Most notably, the North Course served as host to the 2003 U.S. Open and consistently ranks in the top 50 of America's best golf courses by GolfWeek and Golf Digest. The South Course, a Tom Bendelow masterpiece, was restored to its original style and strategy in 2008 by award-winning golf course architect Steve Smyers. According to Crain's Chicago Business Golf Writer H. Lee Murphy, the newly restored South Course is "a monstrously tough challenge that remains true to its origins, ranks as one of the finest course makeovers around Chicago in recent years". In addition to the Club's championship courses, it also features state-of-the-art practice facilities and has one of the largest caddy programs in the State of Illinois that has been recognized by the Chicago Tribune and is also home to the TaylorMade Performance Lab, one of only four in the United States and seven in the world. The TaylorMade Performance Lab offers members, as well as non-members, the "ultimate fitting experience" utilizing the same motion capture technology seen in such films as Lord of the Rings, Polar Express, King Kong, and Batman. Date to be mutually agreed upon. Expires March 2011. Value: $700
