What’s That Building? Ahlgrim Family Funeral Home and Ahlgrim Acres

To find one of the most unusual miniature golf courses in the Chicago area, you arrive at a funeral home in Palatine and then go a little more than six feet under, to the basement. At Ahlgrim Family Funeral Home on Northwest Highway, the main floor is for funerals and downstairs is where the family’s homemade mini golf course called Ahlgrim Acres has been for 60 years. Reset went on a field trip with our architecture sleuth and Crain’s Chicago Business reporter Dennis Rodkin to check it out.
