Tyler Wollberg is the new general manager and head professional at Pine Meadow Golf Club in Mundelein.
MEET TYLER WOLLBERG.
Wollberg is the new head professional and general manager at Pine Meadow Golf Club in Mundelein, the 1927 William Flynn design.
Wollberg comes aboard to the Jemsek Golf managed property, but it’s not a new experience for him. Because coming to work at Pine Meadow is like having a home game for the Mundelein native.
Wollberg fist hit the Pine around the year 2000, he took golf lessons there from Earl Puckett, the Pine Meadow pro back in the day.
The par-3 12th hole at Pine Meadow Golf Club.
So for Wollberg, Pine Meadow was his home course, long before it was his place of employment. So working at Pine Meadow is like coming home again for Wollberg.
Wollberg attended Carthage college in Kenosha Wisconsin, before becoming the golf coach at nearby University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Wollberg then headed east, and worked in upstate New York at St. Lawrence University. But when it came time to move back home to Illinois with his wife and two children, the timing could not have been better.

Because Wollberg learned that 20 year Pine meadow GM/Head Professional Dennis Johnsen would be retiring at the end of 2024.
So after multiple interviews with the Jemsek family, Wollberg was selected to be the new general manager and head golf professional at Pine Meadow.
The first changes to the Pine that Wollberg was on board for, didn’t happen on the golf course. But actually inside the clubhouse.
Because he inside of the clubhouse got both a well needed coat of paint, and then some brand new carpeting. As a result the Pine Meadow pro shop has both a new look and new smell to it, as golf season approaches. But as regular golfers to Pine meadow are aware, if there is no snow on the ground, and temperatures are not extremely cold. The Pine is open for golf. Wollberg is looking forward to working with fellow Carthage College alum superintendent Scott Denil. Wollberg says Denil has the greens rolling great at a speed for 10 for March.
