Glen Oak Country Club is a country club and private golf course in Glen Ellyn, Illinois that was designed by Tom Bendelow and established in 1911.On January 7, 1909, the Pickwick Country Club was created. It had a 9-hole golf course, eventually expanded to 18 holes. Within a year, the club went bankrupt. In 1911, the property was purchased and reopened as the current Glen Oak Country Club.In the past bordering the club to the north- which is the Prairie Path today, was an interurban train stop. Many members lived in Chicago and would take the train out of the city to this club. Upon exit, a carriage would take the members along Hill Ave to the club house.Along with the golf course, it also has a swimming pool, and facility for trap shooting for member use on the club's south border. On the ninth hole, there is a Halfway House to refresh the players with drinks, beverages, and food. As the weather transitions from fall to winter many members change from golfing to The Skeet and Trap Club, which features a new remodeled Lodge area. Over the years, the club has been expanded and remodeled to the club it is today. Some of the famous people that have visited the club are famous athletes like MLB Players Jorge Soler, Carlos Zambrano, Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan(basketball), Chicago Bulls Player Alex Caruso, Bobby Rahal (retired race car driver), Masters 4x Masters Champion Arnold Palmer(golfer), and PGA Golfer Mark Wilson.
