On behalf of the Village of Lakewood, Village President Erin Smith is pleased to announce the recent purchase of Turnberry Country Club by First Leap Holdings, LLC.
The principal of First Leap Holdings, LLC is Sundeep Oberoi.
In addition to his software company,
Mr. Oberoi has a significant real estate portfolio, including a nine hole golf course in DeKalb, IL.
His associate, Mr. Rahul Singh, will provide primary management and oversight of the operations of Turnberry Country Club, which will continue to be run by Kemper Sports.
Mr. Singh has fifteen years of business experience in software development, as well as managing substantial business assets, including 200,000 square feet of commercial and residential space and 275 acres of land.
Included within the commercial real estate assets are a 36,000 square foot fitness center and two golf courses, both of which have a club house, full bar, and banquet facilities.
Consistent with his experience with high quality recreational experiences and the critical role that recreation plays in our lives, Mr. Singh is also a nationally ranked squash player.
“As the new owner, I plan to schedule an open house in the very near future,” said Mr. Sundeep Oberoi.
“We want to engage the members, neighbors, and larger community in an open dialogue about how to build on the strengths of the club and craft a vision to shape a strategy and direction for the facility. It is our goal to have Turnberry Country Club serve as the golf and social destination for McHenry County and the greater northern Illinois area.”
Turnberry Country Club is located at 9600 Turnberry Trail, Village of Lakewood IL.
Established in 1972 by Arthur McIntosh, Turnberry Country Club boasts a 30,000 square foot French Normandy style clubhouse, a renovated 3,900 square foot banquet room, and four tennis courts.
Its crown jewel is the E. Lawrence Packard designed par 72 golf course. It has hosted a U.S. Open Qualifier and was also the site of the Illinois Open.
The course, with multiple tees, allows golfers of all abilities to have a rewarding experience.

Do we have to do a FOIA request to get the sales price?
Who was the Seller?
WinTrust Bank sold it, I assume.
Purchase price should eventually be filed with the McHenry County Supervisor of Assessments.
Will they do a better job than the current owners of Plum Tree?
