ABOUT BUTTERFIELD COUNTRY CLUB
ABOUT BUTTERFIELD COUNTRY CLUB
Oak Brook, IL | Butterfield Country Club has been providing our members and their families and guests with the finest golf, social, and other athletic amenities since the club's inception in 1920. Each of our recreational areas offers a variety of programs for men, women, juniors, and families with different activities scheduled throughout the year. Our Championship 27-hole Golf Course invites our golfing members to take a swing on our perfectly manicured fairways, and putt on the undulating and lightning-fast greens.
We have designed exceptional menus for your dining experience in either the Butterfield Room, or in a more casual atmosphere of the Grill Room or the Pub Patio. For that special occasion, Executive Chef Eric Wiemeyer will create a special menu, and our highly trained staff will anticipate your every need.
The swimming facility has become the summer destination of many families. We have two pools; a smaller one for the toddlers, and the main pool has 3 diving boards, and offers lap swimming for adults. Butterfield has recently completed a new pool snack bar and tennis pro shop which includes an indoor golf training and fitness facility. The tennis facility has the finest courts along with a great gathering place for members. Our members can choose from a variety of tennis programs available for players of all ages and skill levels. Butterfield has recently introduced Paddle Tennis to the Membership with the installation of four new courts and a new Paddle Lodge.
