Far Oaks Golf Club

Far Oaks Golf Club, a public links course in Illinois, United States, was designed by Bob Goalby and opened in 1998. The layout moves across rolling hills threaded with native prairie grasses and wild flowers, and the greens mirror that undulating character throughout. Several holes define the routing. The opener is a 507-yard par five with a slight dogleg left, while hole 9 stretches to 545 yards from the back tees and 448 from the front. Hole 10 is a 423-yard par four with trouble left and right off the tee. The closing hole, a 545-yard par five, carries water down its entire right side. A practice range and professional golf instruction are available on site, including a Junior Golf Academy. The clubhouse includes a restaurant in a casual club setting with lunch options, a bar with four beers on draft — Bud Light, Miller Lite, AmberBock, and Blue Moon — plus a full liquor bar and wine selections, and locker rooms. Far Oaks is rated 4.5 by 50+ Hole19 golfers and ranks as one of the most-played courses in Illinois on Hole19.
