Elk Grove Village offers several distinct reasons to stay: golf on a challenging 18-hole course, a driving range with specific practice facilities, recreational activities, and a seasonal Farmers Market. When choosing accommodations, you can start with the main focus of your trip. Local offerings range from a round of golf to play and skate activities and a Saturday during market season.
Golf: A Round on the Course or the Driving Range
Fox Run Golf Links is located at 333 Plum Grove Road in Elk Grove Village. The challenging 18-hole course and the Fox Run Driving Range offer two different golf options. If you plan to play a round on the course, the 18 holes provide a clearly defined format; if you prefer to practice at the range, it has 55 hitting stations and extends 300 yards. The range includes grass tees, mats, and a sand bunker. This makes it easy to identify the golf option that suits you: course play and range practice differ both in format and in the features listed.
Recreational Activities and Green Spaces
The Jack A. Claes Pavilion includes a 28-foot-tall carousel and an indoor playground. The playground offers an indoor option. The Village Green at 901 Wellington Avenue is home to the Splash Pad, a family-friendly facility. Its seasonal operating schedule may vary; check whether it will be operating during your travel dates before planning a visit. A visitor invitation from June 2021 also mentions a butterfly garden on the Village Green near the Splash Pad.
The Elk Grove Park District operates the Audubon Skate Park. Together with the indoor playground and the seasonal Splash Pad, it is among the specific recreational offerings in Elk Grove Village. The offerings differ in kind: indoor play, a seasonally operated Splash Pad, and a skate park each provide a distinct option to consider.
Farmers Market and Event Venue
The Elk Grove Farmers Market is held on Saturdays from June through October; seasonal dates may vary from year to year. It offers residents and visitors fresh produce such as fruit, vegetables, spices, bread, and drinks, as well as other goods. If you want the market to be a highlight of your stay, check the specific dates for that year. To visit, your trip must include a Saturday during the market season from June through October.
Events and programs take place in the classroom on the lower level of a farmhouse at 399 Biesterfield Road. If you are planning your stay around a specific event, you can locate the venue using this address.
For planning your timing, it is worth comparing the details: for the Farmers Market, the Saturday schedule and seasonal period are key, while the Splash Pad’s seasonal operation may vary. If either of these is a deciding factor for your visit, check the relevant dates or operating schedule for your travel dates.
