Chicago – Naperville Police are investigating complaints about a golf outing sponsored by a strip club. Neighbors say there was nudity and inappropriate behavior on the course.

Blackjack’s strip club’s ninth annual golf outing had been advertised on a legends of pornography Web site. Men paid $375 to attend.

Naperville Police had no advance warning that the so-called gentleman’s club was going to stage a not-so-gentlemanly event at a public golf course right in the middle of a neighborhood. But the I-Team had been tipped off to the event, and what we found has two police departments conducting separate investigations.

At Naperville’s Country Lakes Golf Club, cutoffs and tank tops aren’t allowed, but apparently g-strings and no tops are OK. Dozens of strippers and exotic dancers were auctioned to the highest bidder Monday morning and then spent the day with foursomes, carousing in golf carts and carrying on with the outing participants.

The ABC7 I-Team is masking the most egregious scenes and apparent sex acts, even though anyone walking or driving by could see the lewd activity. The entire golf course is surrounded by homes, apartments and businesses, even a park where children were playing was right next to a tee box where stripper-caddies paraded by.

“This is really strange, so I had my daughter in the front more today,” said Shelly Clugston, neighbor.

The spectacle played on right below the balcony where Bill Connerty and his wife live with their two young children, and most everything that went on was visible to the naked eye.

“We got kids all over the place here,” said Bill Connerty, Naperville resident. Connerty said he thought the outing was “absolutely” inappropriate.

The strip club itself has been previously cited and fined for public indecency by authorities in Elgin, where it is located. Now, in Naperville, police officials say complaints from residents, some of whom shot their own video, and what the I-Team is reporting, could result in more serious charges.

“The charges in this case could range anywhere from disorderly conduct to public indecency or depending on what happened, prostitution could be involved,” said Chief David Dial, Naperville Police.

Even though police sent investigators to the course Monday, they didn’t see what went on inside and around tents that had been put up on the course, where neighbors say it appeared golfers and exotic dancers may have engaged in sex acts — all visible from neighborhood streets.

Despite the nudity and questionable behavior that the I-Team videotaped, a strip club spokesman Tuesday claimed there was no sexual activity and the women were merely caddies.

Two yellow-shirted security guards at the event refused comment whether there was nudity. They also refused to say whether they were off-duty police officers.

A security force that patrolled the course included retired policeman, although there was official paperwork inside a car from the Cook County Forest Preserve Police. That department is investigating whether one or more of its officers were providing off-duty protection for the stripper event. Two years ago, following our report on Blackjacks last golf outing, several forest preserve police officers were suspended for working the controversial event.

The golf course itself is claiming total ignorance. Last Friday, it hosted a Christian golf outing, but the manager told us he knew nothing about Monday’s activities. The course itself is owned by a convicted and corrupt businessman who is currently in federal prison.

The DuPage County Forest Preserve District is currently in court trying to condemn the golf course and take it over.
