Meet the General Manager

A Message from Robert Nelson, General Manager

I am proud to be the General Manager of La Grange Country Club.  Often I have told people that we are the "crown jewel" of the western suburbs.  Our staff is composed of energetic and proud professionals who take great pride in planning and executing services, programs, and events for the whole family.

Our goal is to provide you and your family with a premier, private club environment for fostering friendships while enjoying superior services, entertainment and recreational opportunities.

I look forward to seeing you, and if I may be of assistance please contact me at (708)352-0066 or Robert.Nelson@LaGrangeCC.org.
