The Midwest Club was created from an unusually beautiful and mature 36-hole golf course. The many glorious vistas it offers are matchless. This picturesque sweep of 231 acres is bordered generally by Butterfield Country Club (31st Street) on the north, Midwest Road on the east, 35th Street on the South and Meyers Road on the west. There are no major arterial highways intruding on the borders of this land at any point. But in less that a mile, there are entries to major expressways leading in all directions. Chicago is only 15 miles east, and O'Hare Airport is only 20 minutes away.
Prior to development, every square foot of The Midwest Club land was studied. Trees, shrubs, lakes and ponds, and elevations were painstakingly recorded on master plans. Provisions were made for the preservation of literally every important natural vista. Trees, some over 100 years old, were left undisturbed and others were precisely planted in select locations. Some hillocks and slopes were accentuated for better view or drainage. The seven waterscapes were substantially expanded, and over 40 acres were dedicated as "open space", forever protected in trust for the use and enjoyment of the Resident Members. At The Midwest Club, there are more greenbelt and waterscape areas than on any other land available in Oak Brook.
The homes within the private grounds of The Midwest Club are custom built in a wide variety of elegant architectural styling. Architectural and landscaping controls have been established to assure quality in all of The Midwest Club homes.
The common and community areas are managed by professional on-site property managers. The cost of managing and operating these areas are borne by all of the residences in equal shares through The Midwest Club Homeowners Association, which is managed by a seven-member Board of Directors, all of whom are Midwest Club residents.
The Midwest Club's Clubhouse houses a formal Ballroom, which is available for rental by Midwest Club Residents only. The Clubhouse also has an informal Community Room and Snack Bar, which is open during the summer months. The adjacent Recreation Center boasts a guarded swimming pool with diving board and slide, a "Kiddie" pool, a large patio area and four tennis courts.
The Midwest Club is a gated community, with security guards on duty at the Gatehouse around-the-clock. Guards contact residents for authorizing the entry of all incoming visitors. The grounds are patrolled regularly by The Midwest Club Security patrol car. In addition, there is a central station security system. All homes are required to be equipped with compatible security system that interface with the central system.
