Golf in Oglesby

Oglesby is a LaSalle County city above the Illinois River valley where the canyon terrain of the Starved Rock corridor creates one of the most dramatic landscapes in northern Illinois. The city's position on the bluff above the river gives Deer Park Country Club a natural setting shaped by the region's distinctive dolomite geology. Oglesby developed around cement production and quarrying — the same limestone that defines the river canyon landscape — giving the community an industrial identity grounded in the natural geography of the Illinois River basin. The community's golf culture reflects the midwestern combination of practicality and recreation, where courses are built and maintained with community investment and the straightforward purpose of providing quality sport for working families.
