Zigfield Troy Golf Course to Open for Play in 2026

For decades, Zigfield Troy Golf Course quietly served golfers along 75th Street in Woodridge. The modest par-3 layout was never flashy, but it played an important role in the local golf ecosystem—offering an approachable place for beginners, juniors, seniors, and anyone looking for a quick, affordable round.

In recent years, however, questions have grown about the future of the property. Thankfully we can confirm that the 9 hole par-3 course will open for play once again in 2026.

The Driving Range Is Still Open

The Zigfield Troy Driving Range remains open and operating.

We confirmed this directly by phone. The range continues to offer seasonal hitting options, including winter accommodations, and is functioning independently of the closed par-3 course.

Current details can be found here.

What About the Miniature Golf Course?

The property also includes Lost Mountain Adventure Golf, a themed miniature golf attraction.

At this time:

  • The miniature golf course exists as a separate operation
  • No public announcement has been made regarding its future
  • Its long-term status remains uncertain

Because miniature golf requires far less land than a traditional course, it’s possible it could remain even if redevelopment occurs—but that remains speculation. As of now, there is no confirmed closure or redevelopment plan specific to Lost Mountain Adventure Golf.

Ownership, Parcel, and Zoning Overview

The property is located at 1535 W 75th Street, Woodridge, IL 60517, with DuPage County Parcel ID 09-30-400-018. The land remains privately owned, historically associated with the Troy family.

According to the Village of Woodridge, the site has carried split zoning since 1976:

  • B-2 (Community Shopping) along the 75th Street frontage
  • R-3 (Single-Family Residential) toward the rear of the property

This zoning already allows for commercial and residential development. While informal redevelopment concepts have been discussed, no formal development application, rezoning, or approvals have been granted as of now.

Remembering Zigfield Troy and His Golf Legacy

Any discussion of this property should acknowledge its founder, Zigfield Troy.

Zigfield Troy was a respected golf professional and instructor whose influence on Illinois golf extended far beyond this par-3 course. His contributions to growing the game—particularly at the grassroots and instructional level—earned him induction into the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame.

His name remains synonymous with accessibility, teaching, and a lifelong commitment to golf in Illinois.

The Bottom Line

Here’s the most accurate snapshot of Zigfield Troy today:

  • Par-3 course: Will open for play later this spring
  • Driving range: Open and operating
  • Miniature golf: Operating, future unclear
  • Legacy: Founded by an Illinois Golf Hall of Fame member
