What odyssey country club does

The Odyssey is a privately held event venue and country club operating from a single 19110 S. Ridgeland Ave. property in Tinley Park, Illinois, owned and operated by the Halikias family since its 1994 opening. The facility originated as the clubhouse and banquet facility for an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by two-time major champion Curtis Strange and built in 1991. The venue's core business is hosting weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, showers, and milestone celebrations for groups of 40 to 1,000 guests across multiple indoor and outdoor event spaces — including the main ballroom, the lower-level Terrace Ballroom added in a 2003 renovation, and the East and West outdoor gazebos.

Revenue is generated primarily through event-venue rental combined with full-service catering and event-planning support, supplemented by three on-site F&B concepts: a recurring Sunday Brunch (with reservations managed through third-party platform Toast Tab), the seasonal Michael's on the Green restaurant and bar (May through October), and the Sweet Spot Sports Bar & Driving Range. The culinary program is led by Executive Chef Ken Regan and Sous Chef Brett Anderson, who also produce a public-facing "Culinary Corner" content series on the company website.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective clients discover the venue primarily through organic search and the company's website galleries, then contact the Events & Catering Office by phone (708-429-7400 ext. 3) or web form to schedule an appointment-based facility tour. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; packages are custom-quoted, and complimentary tastings are included for wedding couples selecting open-bar dinner packages. Distribution is single-country and single-asset, with no third-party resellers, no online booking system, and no public pricing transparency.
