GOLFER & SPONSOR REGISTRATION

WELCOME TO BLISS CREEK GOLF COURSE

Bliss Creek’s beautiful tree-lined fairways and well-placed water hazards and bunkers offer a sporty, yet challenging test for all skill levels. Everything you need to know about Bliss Creek is just a click away. And if you need further assistance, the golf shop is readily awaiting your call.

Since taking over in 2000, we have added a new golf outing facility (Pine Room), halfway house, outdoor eating areas, driving range, and a practice putting green. The first hole green was relocated, making it one of the most challenging starting holes in the Chicagoland area. Just recently a new cart path was built along the left side of the 1st fairway, along with putting in tile to help with the drainage. If you are looking to book an outing, Bliss Creek is the place. Our packages are comprehensive, affordable, and completely customizable. Whether you chose the Pine Room with its scenic views of the course or you take advantage of the casual atmosphere of the bar and dining room, Bliss Creek can make any event the perfect place for your special guests.
