OSWEGO – Megalodome Golf says it plans to bring a desert-style golf experience to suburban Chicago with what it calls the world’s first full-scale indoor golf course.<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
Megalodome Golf announced it has launched a $50 million investment fund to build a climate-controlled golf complex in southwest suburban Oswego.<\/p>\n
The proposed site would feature four massive domes covering a 9-hole executive course, along with a driving range designed to recreate the look and feel of Scottsdale, Arizona.<\/p>\n
Rounds are expected to move faster than on traditional courses. The company says a nine-hole round should take about 90 minutes, meaning a full 18 holes could be played in roughly three hours.<\/p>\n
The facility would operate daily from 6 a.m. to midnight, year-round.<\/p>\n
Dig deeper:<\/p>\n
The Oswego complex would include advanced artificial greens designed to mimic natural turf, along with real sand, water hazards and desert-style landscaping.<\/p>\n
Megalodome Golf also envisions the space as more than just a course. Plans include areas for business gatherings, college training programs and a full pro shop offering equipment rentals, apparel and accessories.<\/p>\n
What they’re saying:<\/p>\n
“We aren\u2019t just building domes; we are creating a new way to experience golf,” the Megalodome Golf management team said in a statement.<\/p>\n
What’s next:<\/p>\n
The project is still in the financing phase, with a target opening of fall 2027. Pricing has not been announced and is expected to vary by season.<\/p>\n
The company plans to appear at the Chicago Golf Show later this winter as it continues to line up investors and partners.<\/p>\n
