"A must-play in the Chicagoland area. Lohmann's routing through the wetlands is unforgettable."

The Course

A classic masterpiece.
A thrilling challenge.

Twenty-six acres of protected wetlands. Fifty-four bunkers shaped by the wind. Bentgrass fairways carved through old-growth hickory and oak. Bob Lohmann's eighteen at Blackstone is the rare public course built with the patience and ambition of a private one — every approach considered, every green a problem worth solving.

"Wetlands come into play on thirteen holes. Restraint comes into play on all of them."

Filet at the Grille
The Grille

An honest table
after the round.

Dry-aged steaks. Wood-fired flatbreads. Cold beer on tap and a quietly serious whiskey list. The Blackstone Golfer's Grille is open seven days a week, eleven to five, as golf permits — a clubhouse table built for slow conversations and long shadows.
