With the majority of greens sloping away, stopping the ball on the green can prove to be a task.

Olympia Fields Country Club North Course
2800 Country Club Dr, Olympia Fields, IL 60461 708-748-0495
Description: OLYMPIA FIELDS. While fairness can be found in the width of these fairways, the rough will prove to be severe for errant shots. Large, gaping bunkers that are difficult to play out of surround several fairways and most of the greens. The open nature of this course increases the difficulty level on windy days. Only carefully placed approach shots will leave you a good chance to score on the small, gently sloping greens of this private course.
