I love the fact that golf center Des Plaines exists for so many reasons. To start off, they have a two story driving range that is covered from the elements so you can use the facility year round and they have heat warmers above when temps are on the chiller side. The balls are set on automated tees and can be configured to specific heights via the control box. Everything is enabled by the range card that you load with funds at any of their machines. This card is like a reusable gift card that when placed on the box at each range stall, enables the automated tee to appear with a golf ball ready to hit. They have several real grass tee areas as well along the side of the automated ones. Inside the main building, they have a golf merchandise store as well as an area for golf instruction if you're looking to learn. There's also a restaurant on site. Lastly, the have a par 3, 9 hole course to practice at as well.

***Fall Hours have been updated to opening hours of 8am starting September 1, 2022*** I caught a red eye to Chicago for a golf tournament and was able to hit some balls at Golf Center Des Plaines early in the morning (830am). It was hot last week (9/2/2022) and unfortunately it was pretty hot and muggy that morning on the range. I got a range card for $15 and there were 3 levels of driving range stalls with a nice open range to hit into. The artificial flooring out in the range did reflect the sun into your face a bit and that made it warmer (so go later). The automatic range (using the range) card was cool. Automatic range ball dispenser and use the machine to raise or lower the rubber tees for your drives. Balls were pretty average, new and old range balls. Nice, clean facility. I did use their free practice putting greens which had 4 putting holes, real grass. The chipping area was $8 for the day (all day usage). There's also a small golf course at the facility. Plenty of parking, was a quick in and out for driving range and putting use. The facility was a quick 15 minute drive from my hotel in Rosemont (ORD).

Love that you buy a card that will last more than one trip. Always busy so finding a mat can be time consuming.

This is by far one of the best golf simulator places I've ever been to! Each bay has a table and…read morecouch, very cozy for when it's not your turn. You can also book a private room, as great place for an event. We didn't get any food, but definitely want to try next time, looks delicious. Now for the golf. The simulator is more high tech than I've seen. It automatically detects your terrain and changes the ground to fit it (fairway, rough, and bunker). I've never seen something like this before and it definitely enhances the experience. Another cool thing is during practice it shows you how you swung, by not only showing a model of your swing but a video recording playback. 10/10 recommend

This is the perfect place to have fun and enjoy indoor golf with no pressure. Sure there are pros in there practicing but the environment is so welcoming, we didn't feel intimidated. The employees are super kind and helpful. There are food and drink options to enjoy as you play. You get to rent by the hour and if you don't have your own clubs, you get to rent them as well. There are options to play games or simulate a real golf course. They also play music throughout which adds to the fun vibe. I really enjoyed the afternoon here and highly recommend coming by with a group of friends or family for some chill golf.

I was here with a friend to use the MIni Golf course…read more Prices were VERY relatively reasonable at $7 a game on the adult course (versus $9 at novelty golf), and for hitting the course at 3pm on a Saturday I was A-OK with absolutely no course wait. There is also a second kids course for a cheaper rate. The course is spacious, the facilities are clean, and there are vending machines and a water fountain. The one drawback was the number of water traps and posted signs to not retrieve your balls. The water is chemically managed and so dark you can't see your balls once they go in so no point in even trying. My friend lost their ball and we lost some of our momentum having to go back to the office to get a second ball, and then walk back to our spot on the course. The course holes were straightfoward, with no real hitting obstacles. The course was deceptively smooth in places it actually was not so it may be hard to guage your stroke at times. I'd come here again, but this course doesn't even begin to enter the top 10 favorite mini golf courses I've played over my years.

Park Ridge. A very nice community with very nice people. I have used this range for years and…read moreyears. All good. Now. The blame has to go to management on this. Bought a bucket of balls. In the past, (haven't used the range in a year) rubber tees of various heights were always at the tee boxes. Today after walking to the far end to hit some drives I notice there are no tees, neither at my box nor the other unoccupied boxes. I walk back to the less then friendly person who hands out the balls ( I'm 72 years old and maybe old fashioned, but... " yeah man, what do you need. He manned me to death. I asked about the tees and he tells me that I have to purchase them. Purchase rubber tees at a golf range. $3 for a bag of 3 golf tees. Is tee theft a big issue in Park Ridge, the leafy suburb? Times have sure changed over there,

Played 18 holes here the past weekend, and overall we had a great experience given the time of…read moreyear. As far as the conditions go, the course had relatively smooth greens and the fairways were cut short and tight. This is much more than a golfer could ask for in mid-late October. I was very impressed with how well the course was maintained beyond just the fairways and greens as well, the rough was cut evenly even in the spots where the ball shouldn't end up. The layout is a fun one, it is fairly short, but has a lot of water that prevents the bomb and gauge tactic, lots of long irons off the tees and placement golf is needed. Additionally, the par three's here are very long and challenging. Overall the golf course layout is great if you like old school parkland style golf. The reason this course is not 5 stars is because the lack of amenities that are open, which is hard right now given the difficulty of finding service workers. If the course was even 50% staffed, the course could be approaching 5 stars. Try this course out!

This review is for the clubhouse area only. It is a pretty dated facility on the outside, though…read morethe inside must have had some renovations at some point. Outside t may have looked really awesome in the 80s but it looks like they've made no changes or updates since. There is one ramp from the one side of the building, but I'm not totally sure the parking on that side is related to the country club and it's not super close for folks who might need the accessibility accommodations to being with. I've only been to a country club once, so perhaps it's exactly what it's supposed to be, but this seemed to just be a golf course and then their clubhouse, which has a pro shop and I'm not sure if they have anything in there when there's not an event. That's where the event I attended was held. The sound is not good, and I'm not sure if that's due to the sound system or because we were a bit further in the back of the clubhouse on the other side of the bar, with the bar in the way. But we could barely hear a thing when they were using the mics, so it's something to keep in mind if you plan your event here.
