Formerly Oak Meadows Golf Course, The Preserve at Oak Meadows reopened in 2017 with a new name and following extensive renovations over a two-year span. Formerly a 27-hole layout on 288 acres, the transformation was a conservation and recreation project by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County that took the 1920s-era design and modernized it for drainage and environmental sensitivity. From a playability standpoint, conditions will be more durable in the face of flooding, while eco-friendly highlights include improved water quality within Salt Creek, increased local flood relief by 20 million gallons and the enhancement of an environmental refuge for both golfers and wildlife.

Adding a New Course to the Rotation

Played The Preserve at Oak Meadows for the first time on a perfect fall day and came away very impressed. While there a number of options for golf in the western Chicago suburbs, the Preserve at Oak Meadows is definitely among the better ones played and will be added to our short list of courses to reserve and play each weekend. The layout is excellent, and the course was in excellent shape and didn't show signs of heavy play. The clubhouse and facilities were very nice, and service was great. Definitely recommend this course to anyone.

Late in the season so there were some understandable problems. Some of the tees beat up. Some dry patches on the course.
Greens were smooth and very fast. Layout is awesome.
Course is too expensive but its still a great course.

One of Chicago Area’s Best Public Courses

One of the best public courses in the Chicago metro area. Course was a rebuild of 27 holes where they eliminated the flood prone holes around the river.

Layout of the course is memorable with gently rolling holes and large undulating greens.

Must play if in the Chicago area!

Great course!

This is a nice track . Hybrid of “traditional” with a links style as well. Greens are well maintained and runs true.
Clubhouse is amazing. Irene at the bar is awesome.
A little pricey, but I believe that’s why the pace of play is good. Golfers here who pay over $100 are mostly good golfers.

Need ear plugs

Played Thursday morning at 7:00am. I understand the normal golf course maintenance practices that will interfere with an early morning round of golf ie mowing, bunker work, etc. However this day in the late August on 15 of the 18 holes we had two to three staff driving the course with the large leaf blowers, nothing to blow, they are all still on the trees... loud, disruptive, ridiculous.
At least if your going to do it do it in the reverse order so we only are impacted for a hole or two...
Course conditions here are inconsistent and course is way over priced for the product the offer...
I won't be back to play here... to many courses near by that offer a much better product, I'd recommend, Schaumburg Golf Club, Highlands of Elgin.
The Preserve is a $50.00 golf course at best...

Solid, but overpriced

Nicely conditioned course interesting layout. It helps if you play it with somebody that’s played it before as it has a target golf layout. Many forced carries on tee balls and several 2nd shots. Hi handicappers would find this course very difficult.

Expensive

No real value here, expensive, over priced.
Decent layout, conditions average.
