Lippold Family Golf Center Opens for Season on Fri, Apr 3
Facility includes 2-18 hole miniature golf courses and a driving range

Get ready for a full season of golf at the Crystal Lake Park District Lippold Family Golf Center. Lippold Family Golf Center includes 40 lighted tee areas, a 60,000 square foot putting green, sand traps, a pitching green, a fairway practice bunker, two 18-hole miniature golf courses, a clubhouse, party room and concessions. Golfers of all ages and abilities consider it the perfect location to improve all aspects of their game, including a dedicated short game area. A restored wetland and wildlife area with walking and biking trails uniquely surrounds the entire facility.
With a high volume of peat in the ground in the driving range area, this area takes longer than normal to dry out if there is rain. We recommend that you call 815.477.5401 prior to your visit to confirm if the driving range is open. Or sign up for text alerts via rainoutline.com
