Club Updates

In conjunction with the Forest Preserves of Cook County, approximately five acres of buckthorn is in the process of being removed from the southeast portion of the property. This is a continuation of work already completed to the north on the Chicago Botanic Garden property.

We've been busy over the last couple of months! The project is officially in full swing, and we're excited to share the massive progress we've made on the foundation. It all started with setting the formwork, followed by the concrete pour with the high-reach pumper truck, establishing the main walls and support piers. Once the concrete cured, work continued to prepare the interior space and place all the necessary structural steel beams, ensuring a rock-solid base for the entire building. Next came the large precast concrete floor planks. Watching these massive panels drop into place is always satisfying—it's the quickest way to cap the basement and prepare for the upper levels. With the main structure locked in, we focused on the exterior. Work wrapped up on the retaining walls, and we've applied all the necessary waterproofing to keep the foundation secure and dry for decades to come. Check out all the incredible work that's been happening on-site! The foundation is now 99% complete and ready for the next phase. Next up, we move onto the steel frame for the rest of the building! Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we start heading vertical!

Right now, these delicate yet determined creatures in the northern U.S. and southern Canada are preparing for one of nature's most astounding feats: their long journey south to overwintering sites.

Golf Course Closed

Despite the nice weekend forecast, the course is closed due to wet/unstable conditions. We are prioritizing the long-term health of the course to ensure peak playing conditions this summer.
