There's no denying that the 1980 film Caddyshack is a cult classic. Starring Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Bill Murray, it's heralded by Time and ESPN as one of the funniest sports movies of all time.
But now Bill Murray and his brothers Andy, Brian Doyle, Ed, Johnny, and Joel have teamed up with each other to install a Caddyshack style eatery in Illinois.
In the movie, Murray played Carl Spackler, a greens keeper who spends the film trying to overcome the golf course's gopher infestation. Despite detonating a bunch of explosives around the course, the gopher pops up at the end of the movie unscathed.
In real life, Bill has a history with golf as he and his brothers grew up working as caddies during the summer at their local country club.

Their new restaurant is set to open in December and will be able to seat more than 260 people, and will employ about 100 staff.
"We are extremely excited to have Murray Bros. Caddyshack be the signature restaurant in our hotel," says David Friedman, President of F&F Realty, Ltd. and Manager of Crowne Plaza Chicago Ohare Hotel & Conference Centre.
"Bill Murray has done so much to represent Chicago, its pride and the friendliness that Chicagoans are famous for. It's only fitting that the Chicago area gets its own Caddyshack.
"We have searched for a long time for the perfect food and beverage outlet that provides our hotel guests and all of Rosemont with a great dining experience."

Bill's brother Andy Murray says: "Golf is evolving from its exclusionary practices in favour of a more open and fun-loving attitude, which can be seen in everything from today's hip golf fashion to more eclectic golf fans and unique venues at golf tournaments. I'm glad the rest of the world is catching up."
The menu looks fairly decent as well, and of course it's themed around the sport. The entrees are called 'Tee it Up', salads are 'The Greens' while desserts are named 'The Finishing Hole'.
It's the second Caddyshack themed restaurant that the Murray brothers have opened. The first was set up in 2001 at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida.
Well...we're waiting.
