ClubLife Management chosen to oversee operations at Midlothian CC

ClubLife Management, a full-service management division sponsored by ClubCorp, has been chosen to oversee operations of Midlothian Country Club, one of the Chicago area’s private lifestyle golf and country clubs.

“Midlothian Country Club has long been recognized for the quality of its championship golf course, family friendly culture and lifestyle amenities,” said Mark Wheeler, club president. “We are very excited to partner with ClubLife Management to help us elevate the member experience through enhanced lifestyle-oriented programming and improved service standards, as well as reciprocal access to its network of over 300 clubs nationwide. Our goal is to be the club of choice in greater Chicagoland, and ClubLife Management will help achieve that goal.”

Established in 1898 and the first privately owned club south of Chicago, Midlothian Country Club offers 18 holes of picturesque golf that challenge a wide range of golfers with varying skill levels, extensive practice facilities and a robust caddie program. The club has served as the site for many amateur and professional tournaments through the years, including the 1914 U.S. Open, during which, Walter Hagen defeated Chick Evans to win the first of his 11 major championships.

“We are proud to partner with the board of directors and staff at Midlothian Country Club to build on its rich history, exceptional facilities and deep roots in the community,” said Doug Hellman, senior vice president, ClubLife Management. “We look forward to working closely with the board of directors to achieve its goals while leveraging our operations expertise and membership sales prowess and introducing proven member engagement programming to enhance the member experience at this extraordinary club.”

The colonial-style clubhouse offers a member lounge, casual and upscale dining and a spacious veranda overlooking the golf course. Amenities also include a meeting, banquet and dining private event space that can accommodate up to 300. In addition, Midlothian offers a family swim complex and “Cottage,” which is a year-round facility providing lockers, showers, changing facilities, plus meeting and party space for up to 70 people.
