CRESS CREEK COUNTRY CLUB

The prairie winds that sweep across this DuPage County layout demand precise club selection, especially on the elevated back nine where gust management becomes as crucial as green reading. Dick Nugent's routing maximizes the rolling Illinois terrain with strategic bunkering that punishes wayward drives while rewarding thoughtful course management around the subtly contoured greens. The finishing stretch features a memorable par-3 over water that plays longer than the yardage suggests, thanks to swirling winds that turn club selection into educated guesswork.
