LISLE, IL (May 8, 2025) - True Spec Golf, the global leader in custom club fitting and club building, today announced the opening of True Spec Chicago West, which is located inside The Golf Practice, one of Chicago’s premier golf academies.
This is the latest opening in a growing number of partnerships that brings True Spec’s bespoke fittings and best-in-class customer service to prominent venues around the country. True Spec currently partners with The Golf Practice at their popular True Spec Chicago North Shore location in Highland Park.
True Spec Chicago West features a state-of-the-art indoor fitting bay equipped with a Foresight GCQuad launch monitor. It is home to True Spec’s brand-agnostic club-fitting matrix of more than 70,000 club head and shaft combinations from every major equipment manufacturer, which enables True Spec’s master club fitters to find the best equipment to improve a player’s game. Each club is custom built at True Spec’s Scottsdale headquarters to the exact specifications derived from the club fitting process.
“Year after year, Chicago continues to be a thriving market for True Spec and we’re thrilled that our second location in the city has moved into this new space and is partnering once again with The Golf Practice,” said Ryan Richardson, president of True Spec Golf. “This impressive new facility will undoubtedly help us to better serve the Chicago golf community.”
The Golf Practice’s Lisle location, which opened earlier this year, is a 15,000 square foot state-of-the-art indoor golf training facility with 8 Trackman simulators. It is staffed by Hank Haney certified coaches and features a St. Andrews-themed short game room with 16 different cups, a custom WellPutt putting surface, and a golf-specific gym with speed training.
“Having True Spec at both of our locations is a very natural fit because we share the same commitment to helping customers reach their goals,” said Chris Oehlerking, Co-Owner and Dean of Instruction at The Golf Practice. “The world-class club fitting that True Spec provides golfers is a great asset to have on site.”
Consistently ranked by GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest as one of America’s top club fitters, True Spec’s master fitters are the nation’s undisputed leader in luxury club fitting.
True Spec Chicago West will be located at 4995 Varsity Drive, Lisle, IL. Fitting sessions range from $125 to $375 for a full bag fitting. To book custom fitting appointments at either Chicago studio, golfers can visit www.truespecgolf.com.
