We’re Celebrating 100 Years
In the vibrant era of the Roaring Twenties, Rolling Green emerged as a symbol of inclusivity and a century of golfing heritage. Established in 1924, our visionary founders crafted more than a golf course; they created a haven where men, women, and juniors embraced the joy of the sport together. The club's pioneering spirit included a dedicated nine-hole course for women, breaking barriers in the 1920s. As we reflect on our rich history, the 1970s stand out as a golden age for professional golf at Rolling Green. Hosting a series of prestigious tournaments, we drew some of the world's best golfers, solidifying our reputation as a global golf destination. From the Western Open Qualifier to the 1965 CDGA Senior Championship, Rolling Green is a living legacy where history, inclusivity, and top-tier tournaments converge to shape our enduring story. As we celebrate a century, we look towards the future with enthusiasm, committed to forging connections and creating memorable moments for our valued Members.

About Tony
I grew up in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, spending my childhood on the golf course, both playing and working, working my way up from outside service and caddy into a management role. During that time, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a degree in Advertising and I played 4 years on the football team.I started my professional career in the club industry in Southern California and then moved to Glendale and Sedona Arizona for nine years where I managed two different country clubs. I joined Kemper Sports in 2014 and held General Manager positions at Quail Lodge and Golf Club in Monterey, CA and Royal Melbourne Country Club in Long Grove, IL.I am excited to be at Rolling Green Country Club because of its long history and stature in the Chicago area as well as the opportunity to join Invited. I have a passion for the hospitality industry and, in particular, interacting with the Membership and getting to know your families.

About Michael
I was born and raised in Glen Ellyn, attended Marquette University earning degrees in Finance and Marketing (2009), and lived in Chicago from 2009 -2020. In the midst of COVID my wife and I relocated temporarily to Cleveland to be closer to her family – now that some restrictions have been eased and we can more easily travel in between cities, we have decided to plant our roots in the suburbs (we just bought a home in Wheaton).
I spent the first 11 years of my career working in recycling – a field that I grew to love and still strongly advocate for (I’ll try not to be seen digging plastic out of the garbage). Aside from my interest in trash, I love playing golf (a passion that drew me to this position), live music (my wife and I would try to make it to a few shows per month pre-COVID), and sports teams that will always make me sad (Bears, White Sox, Marquette hoops, etc.).
I am excited to continue meeting all of you and look forward to meeting your fabulous guests!
