Maple Meadows Golf Course Master Plan
Project Status
- The Forest Preserve District's board of commissioners approved a contract to construct golf, natural area, and parking improvements (Phase I of the Maple Meadows Master Plan).
- Renovation work is scheduled to begin on Nov. 1, 2025, and will continue throughout all of 2026.
- Maple Meadows will be open for golf through October of 2025 and is expected to reopen again for golf in summer of 2027 after post-renovation grow-in is complete.
Project Purpose
The purpose of the project is to update and improve Maple Meadows to:
- Continue to serve the course’s existing audience and attract new audiences.
- Renovate golf infrastructure to allow the course to operate efficiently into the decades ahead.
- Modify golf hole designs to enhance the golf experience, speed up the pace of play, and improve the spacing and buffer between golf areas and adjacent residential communities.
- Better align the course with the District’s mission to provide native habitat, natural areas, and enhanced environmental conditions.
- Reduce impervious surfaces; decrease fragmented natural areas by increasing large blocks of native areas and reducing mowed areas; increase wetlands; and improve the floristic quality of natural areas.
- Update visitor amenities in and around the clubhouse.
