Club Overview
Founded in 1989, White Eagle Golf Club is a full-service member-owned private golf club located in Chicago’s southwest suburb of Naperville, Illinois. The mission of the Club is to provide premier private athletic and social experiences for its 500+ members, their families and guests, by offering high-quality services and facilities complete with exceptional Midwestern hospitality. Originally designed by Arnold Palmer, the Club offers 27 championship holes of golf (Red 9, White 9, and Blue 9) that are set on approximately 163 acres and surrounded by an upscale residential community of 1,000 plus homes. In 1995, a 20-year-old amateur golfer named Tiger Woods set the course record for the Red-to-White rotation by firing a 67 from the championship tees, a record that exists today. In addition to championship golf, Club amenities include an Olympic size swimming pool, four platform tennis courts, and three pickleball courts.
