Butler National is a private 18-hole golf club located 25 miles outside of Chicago. The club was built by developer Paul Butler in 1972 and became the permanent home of the Western Open until 1990. Since then, with the help of architect Tom Fazio, the club has continued to remain one of the top ranked golf courses in the country. The membership is committed to the traditions of golf and maintaining its world class reputation.
