At 25 years old, the Bolingbrook Park District’s 10th Hole Pub at its Boughton Ridge Golf Course in southwest suburban Chicago was long in the tooth.
Outings were under a tent pavilion, subject to Mother Nature’s whims. The 2,000-square-foot pub was essentially a bar--with no separate dining area--and could seat only 48. Officials believed a clubhouse not only would draw in new business--including banquets and business meetings--but also would draw more golfers to the nine-hole executive course.
So far, the new Ashbury’s at Boughton Ridge, which opened in late March 2008, has done both.
