Home of the Illinois Women's Open, Mistwood Golf Club's idyllic greens provide challenges and triumphs to golfers of all skill levels. Their dream team of talented instructors transform golfbabies into hotshot spheroid-swatters through dedicated instruction. The one-hour lesson (a $100 value) gives players the opportunity to solicit tips from professional tip-givers, who will spill the beans on links secrets such as ideal putting stances and automatic hole-in-one passwords. After stocking up on wisdom, students can hone their chops on an unlimited supply of range balls (a $20 value). In addition to the private lesson and golf balls, swingers can pair up with an instructor for a nine-hole playing lesson (a $180 value, green fees and cart rental included), where they'll together navigate the myriad bunkers and water hazards that pepper the course, before settling down to discuss the volatile price of Bitcoins at lunch (a $15 value).

Mistwood Golf Club's well-manicured course provides sprawling acreage to stretch swinging muscles. Designed around a 65-acre lake, the course welcomes challengers to weave through an abundance of ponds, streams, and dunking booths. Hemmed in by trees, the 18 holes each have five tee placements, and many are fairways split around terrain or foliage.
