Our mission is to provide our clients and their guests with an exceptional experience with our hospitality, event space, and catering. Our facility opened in 1994 to serve as the clubhouse and banquet facility to the golf course that was built in 1991 by the Halikias family. The par 72, 18 Hole course was designed by two-time award winning Curtis Strange. The facilities original event space was only on the main floor, until 2001 when the lower level was renovated to reduce the Proshop size and create what is now our Terrace Ballroom. Leading the innovative culinary team at The Odyssey is Executive Chef Kenneth Regan. Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, Chef Ken brings his love and passion for seasonal and local ingredients to The Odyssey.
