Golfers, Cubs fans, and anyone who loves a one-of-a-kind Chicago experience, save the date, because Upper Deck Golf is returning to Wrigley Field. The complete golf takeover will take place over the weekend of Sept. 18-20. Following the sellout of Upper Deck’sApril event, this second appearance of the year promises even more unforgettable moments at the Friendly Confines.

This experience is far from typical for a driving range. Upper Deck Golf transforms Wrigley Field into a nine-hole golf playground, with tee boxes perched high in the grandstand, bleachers, and upper deck. Players send golf balls soaring onto targets scattered across the outfield grass, all while taking in panoramic views of one of the most beloved ballparks in the world.

“I played in April, and the price tag--$100 for a Saturday morning tee time–wasn’t exactly pocket change. But what you get in return is unlike anything else: 18 golf balls, nine tee boxes, and a full tour of Wrigley Field from vantage points most fans never get to experience,” Walter Lis from Chicago Golf Report stated in his July article.

The historic 1914 Club doubles as the clubhouse, where golfers gather before and after their round. The atmosphere blends golf, music, food, and drinks in a way that feels more like a party than a traditional day on the course. Golfers can also compete in putting, chipping, and driving challenges for prizes ranging from Cubs tickets to exclusive gear.

Since Upper Deck Golf supports Stand Up To Cancer, an initiative funding groundbreaking cancer research, every round helps make a difference. While enjoying an afternoon on the green like no other, players will also be contributing to a bigger cause.

When booking, players can choose from three levels of access:

  • Standard Tee Time – Includes 18 golf balls, nine holes inside Wrigley, access to the clubhouse sports bar, and exclusive stadium access. (Minimum two players required.)

  • Premium Tee Time – Everything in Standard, plus mulligans, free entry to golf challenges, and a complimentary meal with two drinks (beer, wine, or well drinks for 21+).

  • VIP Tee Time – The ultimate upgrade, with extra golf balls, complimentary meals, drinks, and free entry into all on-site challenges.

Players can bring their own clubs (sand wedge through 8-iron only) or use the complimentary ones provided. Holes will range from 75 to 150 yards. Show up at least 30 minutes before your tee time and don’t worry about the dress code, because comfort is key. All ages are welcome, but an adult must accompany children under 12 years old.

If it rains, your tee time will be rescheduled.

Whether you’re a die-hard Cubs fan, a casual golfer, or just someone looking for a bucket-list Chicago experience, Upper Deck Golf at Wrigley Field is a can’t-miss event.
