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. Here’s a clear, fact-based look at what we know today, based on public records, municipal disclosures, county property data, and direct confirmation.
The Par-3 Golf Course: Closed
The 9 hole par-3 course itself is no longer operating. The closure does not appear to be temporary or seasonal, and there has been no public indication that the course will reopen for golf.
County records now classify the land as vacant/open space rather than an active golf facility. All available information suggests that golf use for the par-3 course has ended.
Important Clarification: The Driving Range Is Still Open
While the par-3 course is closed, not all golf activity on the property has stopped.
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.
This distinction is important: golfers can still hit balls at Zigfield Troy, even though the par-3 course itself is no longer available.
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.
Is the Property for Sale?
Yes. The Zigfield Troy property has been marketed for sale over the past several years, primarily as a redevelopment opportunity, not as an operating golf course.
The Village of Woodridge has even created a public information page tracking interest in the site. However as of January 3, 2026:
There is no active, approved development plan
There has been no formal zoning change
Any future proposal would require public review and Village Board approval
In short, the land is being sold as land, not as a golf business.
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: Closed
Driving range: Open and operating
Miniature golf: Operating, future unclear
Property: Privately owned and marketed for sale
Legacy: Founded by an Illinois Golf Hall of Fame member
Zigfield Troy’s story reflects a broader trend in suburban golf: smaller courses quietly disappearing as land economics shift—often while portions of the property remain active in other forms.
We’ll continue to monitor zoning filings, development proposals, and operational changes and will update this story as new information becomes available.
