Olympia Fields Country Club Driving Range

Driving Range

Members love spending time on the 20 acre range trying to perfect their game. While Olympia Fields has always had a driving range, significant investment has been made in recent years to building teeing areas on both sides of the range, putting in top grade astroturf that can be used on wet, rainy days and the creation of 7 target greens which allows you to truly work on all clubs. The range is staffed by a member of the Golf Department to ensure balls are stocked, ice cold water is available and any other need are met.

Short Game Area (to open in Summer 2013)

This area is the most recent addition to our property which is going to be a huge hit for those trying to perfect their short game. This 4 acre space will contain 3 target greens which will accept chips from 80 yards and in. It will also be a perfect place to master your sand game as there will be ample types of lies, lengths of shots, and approach difficulty.

Practice Greens

3 putting greens are placed near our North and South 1st tee boxes which stand for a great place to warm up for your round or to spend hours honing the perfect putting stroke. These greens are always kept in excellent condition and provide multiple types of slopes, breaks, distances and speeds from which to practice.
