Deer Park Golf Club
About Deer Park Golf Club
Deer Park Golf Club traces its origins to 1904, when it was founded as Deer Park Country Club and spent more than a century operating as a private club. Throughout that time it served as a golf and social gathering place for the Starved Rock Region of north-central Illinois.
Set near Matthiessen State Park in a well-visited part of the state, the course takes advantage of the natural scenery of the surrounding area. The club retains an active membership, while the golf course itself is now open to public play seven days a week.
