Naperville Parks District: Naperbrook Golf Course Practice Area Renovation Project ...

Press release from Naperville Parks District:

July 7, 2021

Project scope: The practice green, range tee and bunker will close at Naperbrook Golf Course August 2 for a complete renovation. The goal of the project is to improve and expand the practice area. The current range tee will be removed and a new 27,000 sq ft tee will be constructed. The tee will be slightly raised from the previous location to provide better sightlines, and will be seeded with HGT bluegrass, which will provide both a great turf to hit from and excellent wear tolerance, similar to the turf tee at Springbrook. The two small practice greens will be removed and a new 12,000 sq ft green will be constructed, adding needed space for putting and chipping. A practice bunker will also be constructed next to the range tee to provide short game and full swing options for practicing from the sand. A new shed for the range ball dispenser will be added behind the clubhouse.

Project expected to start: August 2, 2021

Project expected to end: Construction expected to take 4-6 weeks, depending on the weather. The driving range will open after construction is complete, using the all weather mats. The turf range tee and the practice green will not open until late spring 2022.
