ABOUT CHICAGO SCHOOL OF GOLF


Chicago, IL | Chicago School of Golf was founded in 2014 with a vision to provide high-level customer service and a developmental plan for all golfers, regardless of age. Their concept is to create a place where golfers of all skill levels could receive tailored instruction to help them reach their full potential. As more and more golfers in the Chicagoland area heard about the high-quality instruction and individualized plans offered at Chicago School of Golf, the school began to grow quickly - and new locations and several instructors were added to keep up with demand.


Chicago School of Golf has become one of the most respected and well-known golf instruction facilities in the Chicagoland area. Today, the school has three indoor facilities and six golf courses that they teach out of - generating over $6 Million in revenue since 2021. Chicago School of Golf continues to provide instruction to golfers of all ages and skill levels and is proud to have helped countless golfers improve their game and reach their full potential. Owner and PGA Director of Golf David Maslen was recently honored with the 2023 Illinois PGA Player Development Award, which recognizes a PGA Professional for extraordinary and exemplary contributions and achievements in player development.


As a family-owned business, work-life balance is not just something we talk about - it is an essential part of who we are.

CORE VALUES


FAMILY

We're a family-owned and operated company, focused on our family of exceptional employees and students. This “people first” approach has always led to our success. With these foundational and limitless opportunities, everyone has every chance to flourish. This is why we have students come back for over a decade time and time again.


INTEGRITY

Integrity beyond all else. Do the right thing when no one is looking. In golf and life, we must do this. It's easy to re-do a missed hit or ignore a penalty, but golf is a game of respect and integrity. We use golf as a way to teach about life.


COLLABORATION THROUGH ENJOYMENT

When you are part of the CSOG family, we work together as a team to make everyone's experience the best. Our learning environment is competitive, challenging, and rewarding. We are always developing and fine-tuning training protocols that push us to the next level. “Today's innovation, tomorrow’s success…”


EXHIBITS POSITIVE ENERGY

As a company, we use positivity to motivate people to be the best versions of themselves. We are always working to create a positive fun environment with no limitations on what can be done. All of us have “can do and will do” attitudes. It’s easy to find the negative in things; what others would call negatives we call opportunities. We encourage our students to do the same.


INSPIRING PEOPLE TO DREAM 

Dreaming is important, nothing great comes from thinking small. We inspire all staff and students to set large goals for themselves. Being there for someone as they achieve goals and accomplish tasks they originally believed they could not do is what motivates us to dig deeper. Dreaming also establishes the creativity that is needed to see and direct your ball around the course.
