A “GCI PRO SHOP ALGONQUIN IL” charge on your card is most likely from a purchase made at The Golf Club of Illinois’ pro shop or related golf services at the facility. Typical transactions include green fees, cart rentals, range balls, lesson fees, and retail purchases such as clubs, balls, gloves, and apparel. The charge may also be associated with event fees, memberships, or outing packages processed through the golf shop point‑of‑sale system. In some cases, pending or split charges can appear if you paid separately for golf and food & beverage or if an authorization was adjusted to the final amount after play.

If you have questions about the charge, the best first step is to compare the transaction date and amount with any tee time confirmations, receipts, or email confirmations from The Golf Club of Illinois. You can also contact the golf shop directly using the phone number listed on their website to verify the transaction, request a copy of your receipt, or clarify how a fee was processed. If the transaction still doesn’t look familiar after speaking with the club, you can then contact your card issuer to dispute the charge, but having details from the course—such as who was in the group, time of play, and items purchased—will make resolving any issues much easier.([golfclubofil.com](https://golfclubofil.com/?utm_source=openai))

How do I dispute or request a refund for a charge from The Golf Club of Illinois?

Start by calling the golf shop or clubhouse and explaining the issue—for example, a duplicate charge, an incorrect green fee, or a no‑show fee you believe was applied in error. The club can review their tee sheet, receipts, and policies and may issue a refund or adjustment if warranted. If you cannot resolve it with the club, contact your card issuer with any documentation you have for a formal dispute.

Can food, beverage, or banquet purchases also appear as "GCI PRO SHOP"?

Yes, depending on how their point‑of‑sale system is configured, some food, beverage, or banquet charges from the clubhouse may settle under the same merchant ID as the pro shop, so they appear as a single "GCI PRO SHOP" or similar descriptor even if the actual purchase was at the bar, grill, or an event in the banquet facility.([golfclubofil.com](https://golfclubofil.com/?utm_source=openai))

How can I verify future charges from The Golf Club of Illinois?

For future visits, ask for an itemized receipt at checkout and, if possible, have it emailed to you.
