Northbrook’s Heritage Oaks Golf Club Named Top 50 Public Range
The Northbrook Park District property's director of golf was also honored.

NORTHBROOK, IL — The Northbrook Park District's Heritage Oaks Golf Course recently received some national recognition. During a ceremony last month by the Golf Range Association of America in Orlando, the golf course was named a Top 50 public range and its director of golf, Greg Baron, was named a Top 100 teaching professional.
It was the second-straight honor for Baron, according to NPD.
"This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication and innovation of each member of our team," Baron said. "It is an honor to be recognized by the GRAA, and I am confident that this accomplishment will further strengthen our position as a leader in the Chicagoland area and the industry."
