The Chicago Curling Club, organized in 1948, recently celebrated our 70th anniversary. We are a membership organization centered around curling. The club is recognized as one of the finest curling facilities of its size, with four sheets of ice, locker rooms, a full-equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a large social area. Curling at the Chicago Curling Club encourages skill development for beginning, intermediate, and advanced curlers. There are men’s, women’s, mixed, senior, novice, and open events. Generally, an event includes one game per week for a set number of weeks. Many events are offered throughout the curling season; in fact, full members of the club can curl almost every day or evening. Curlers may also participate in “bonspiels,” multi-game tournaments held throughout a curling season by all curling clubs, including Chicago.
It isn’t just the sport that makes curling attractive. After a game, curlers engage in the traditional “broomstacking,” a period for socializing with teammates and opponents. Beyond broomstacking, curlers at Chicago enjoy parties throughout the year, including a summer Cornspiel, golf outing, and the traditional celebrations marking the opening and closing of the curling season.
The curling season begins in October and ends in March, about the time that curlers are hoping to see those first flowers spring from the thawing soil!
As with all sports, it’s the players that make the game, and the members of the Chicago Curling Club have created a warm and welcoming place where you can enjoy a competitive sport and make and expand friendships.
