I feel that the greens keepers do a "top notch" job!

I do not get to play there enough.

As a former caddy of Butterfield, I must say that this course has it all. From long testing par fives, to beautiful scenic par three's. Butterfield is a perfect club that is kept up perfectly. This club takes on the prestige that the old clubs used to have. Michael Jordan has made several appearences to play this great course.

BLUE NINE: Hole 5: This is a 545 yard par 5. Nice downhill dogleg right which has you looking at a eagle setup of only 150-180 yards, if you can crank your drive a good 300+. Halfway house - get the burgers!!!! they are to die for! Hole 7: Another good birdie hole. uphill approach with two front bunkers and 1 back bunker keeps this green from being the easiest to hit. Still, easy birdie opportunity here. Hole 9: LOVE IT. Break out the driver cause it''s time to drive for show, and put for the dough. This green is pretty wicked with it''s strong downhill slope. One thing to keep in mind is you don''t want to be past the pin here. Grab less club. WHITE NINE: Hole 2: I hope those 2 bending oaks are still there. Shot over two 50+ year old oaks make this green approach shot from the tee very interesting. Women''s tee is harder to get it over the trees, so you can shoot the gap, Men''s tees vary between 140-180 yards out. miss it left, and you could be in a nasty little jungle. HOLE 3: Beautiful tee shot. Put a power fade to maximize distance on this hole. This green is one of the toughest on the course. I think it''s rated #1 for white, and might

This course has just hired a full time crew of arborists. ''The place is looking immaculate. The Blue Nine is the place to be. Best caddy program around, period! Yes, they still do wear those ugly blue+gold getups. Located in the hear of Oakbrook, if you get to play this place, bring your $$, your A game, and your box of Cristos, because this is suburban paridise. And it puts Butler to shame. Only thing that sucks is that is isn''t quite as difficult as Medinah or Butler. Of course, the members always seem to be able to make their rounds harder than they should be.

Customer Service

wtf is customer service. it''s a private club that treats their guests like gold. just make sure that you know to come through when the round is over and tip your caddy nicely, even if the member "

I could not put in words the aura of the game played from this course, this is place you have to expierence for yourself and since the waiting period for memberships is quite lengthy you should pray to the golf gods that you should be so lucky. 27 holes of golf course that makes Cog Hill look like a shaggy municipal and the Par 3 second from the blue course is just spectacular and 8 red "The Brute" is by far the most majestic Par 5 on the land.

If you haven't read the top part, go back. You have to look real hard to find a weakness. I am not sure if the caddies have to still wear those ugly Yellow shirt and blue shorts get up?

Butterfield Country Club is the best club in illinois you haven't heard about. From the almost unnoticed entrance to the stately oaks and maples that surround this majestic club, to the dark mahogony clubhouse that speaks in a low tone of graceful golf clubs of old. The three nines generously spaced thoughout the myriad of creeks, hills, lakes and willows are a reminder that this is not your run of the mill sunday tee time. I am not a member and have not played with a member, I used to be a caddie and I worked as a waiter at this club. I waited patiently for a monday to arrive so that I could do what only a few priveliged members could do. I could take a swing into it's velvety turf and walk a course so sure of itself that it doesn't have to try for a major (Medinah) because that would spoil it's ambience. You are not playing golf at Butterfield Country Club you are expierencing it and for the members that take this for granted, I feel shame.
