First, we recommend that you visit us and tour our facility at which time we can learn more about your interests and the benefits you would like to receive from the club. As a members-only club, we restrict access to our property so you will need to meet with one of our directors before you come to make sure someone will be available to welcome you. Send an email to membership@deercreekrecclub.com or leave a message on the club phone at (815) 267-0105 and someone will be in touch with you promptly. For directions to the club, see our home page.
If you decide to join the club, we will have you fill out a membership application including authorization for a criminal background check for all adults on the membership. We will provide you with a complete membership packet. Club access will be granted as soon as the criminal background check has cleared. Following this, your gate access cards will be sent via US Mail, or arrangements may be made with the Membership Director. Your membership will then be active and you are free to start using the club from that point forward. You will not be allowed to use the club until the criminal background checks have cleared. Final membership acceptance is contingent upon Board approval and presented by the Membership Director.
We do not accept convicted felons or sex offenders as members.
If a membership is not approved, all fees will be refunded excluding the cost of the criminal background checks.
