Golf is a game people can enjoy their entire lives, and someone could spend their entire life soaking up the plethora of golfi ng options

around the greater Chicago area. In fact, after speak-ing with golfers in the area for years, I KNOW golf is the local pastime. An abundance of courses creates a consistent problem for all types of golfers: How to fi nd the next golf course to play or book a Stay-N-Play trip?

Well, you’ve come to the right place, and I congratulate you on being proactive by picking up the Chicagoland Golfer’s Guide. Golfer’s Guide is here to help with resources online, on your smart phone, in your in-box and FREE distribution of the Chicagoland Golfer’s Guide throughout N/E Illinois.

Are you concerned with saving money? My records indicate about 99% of the U.S. population might be, which is why golfers can actively save on the GG Deals section of Chicago.golfersguide.com, and by visiting TeeTimeSavings.com. Golfers can “Buy Now, Play Later” with savings up to 50% or more on rounds of golf and Stay-N-Play packages.

The Royal Country Club of Long Grove (The Grove) is a member of The Royal Country Clubs and is gracing the cover of our Spring/Summer issue. The Grove offers a championship golf course and country club amenities and service to members. But members may also access three other golf courses (The Fox, Hawk & Creek). Golf Course membership is defi nitely not for every golfer. In fact, less than 10% of all golf-ers actually hold a golf course membership, but we’re still talking about 2 million+ golfers. They key is for private courses to offer a strong value proposition, which is what The Royal Country Clubs consistently provide their members.

The ability to play 72 holes of championship golf inevitably drives up the stock of a membership with The Royal Country Clubs vs. the typical private club providing only 18 holes. Get more for your money on a membership with The Royal Country Clubs.

Enjoy the anticipation and hope of the upcoming golf season, and don’t miss out on attending the Ryder Cup, since we don’t get a major golf event in our backyard every day!

Keep it in the fairway! Pete Martin Regional Vice President

Ask any golfer and they’ll be quick to tell you, the most important thing to them whenever they tee it up is how well they play. Whether it’s on the inestimable Old Course at St. Andrews or the “Ole Muni” two towns over, and whether they’re play-ing for the Claret Jug in Scotland or brag-ging rights in St. Charles, posting the lowest possible score – and white-washing their competitors in the process – is pre-eminent.

But running a very close second to the how of it is the where of it, as golfers by and large love the thought of surround-ing themselves, if only for a few hours, in an environment, an atmosphere, that bespeaks the best the sport has to offer, from great service to impeccable course conditions to a clubhouse that members are proud to call home.

That’s why, increasingly, when everyday life simply won’t do, golfers with the means

and the motivation are stepping into The Royal Country Clubs, and stepping outside the ordinary world. Naturally beautiful sur-roundings and beautifully refi ned settings create an exceptional haven for recreation, socializing, meeting and celebrating life.

The management and staff of The Royal Country Clubs know full well that beyond the impeccable golf courses, exquisite cuisine and dining, the intangibles are what complete your country club experience. The feeling of belonging each time you enter the clubhouse, the way the staff fulfi lls not only your requests but also your desires, the way other club Members welcome your presence, not to mention the lasting friend-ships that are established along the way – these are the qualities that make The Royal Country Clubs, 72 holes of outstanding golf and extraordinary club facilities and ameni-ties, your home away from home.

The Royal FoxBuilt in 1989, quality and prestige are

refl ected in the elegant surroundings at Royal Fox Country Club (located in St Charles), which has been awarded the honor of hosting the prestigious Illinois PGA Open fi ve times in 11 years, a true testament to the challenge that lies ahead of you when you tee it up on the fi rst hole. Designed by Richard Nugent to evolve around the existing natural environment, The Royal Fox is a challenging, 6,816-yard par-71 championship golf course. Under new ownership since 1999, The Royal Fox has gone through many changes since then, including improvements to a number of holes, upgrades to the practice facility and the remodeling of the clubhouse, all undertaken to establish The Royal Fox among the elite Clubs in the area.

The Royal HawkBuilt in the wooded countryside of St.

Charles, The Royal Hawk Country Club is a private, members-only club offering rustic farmhouse charm and panoramic views of the Fox River Valley. Royal Hawk is built on 180 acres of rolling hills and offers a par-72 championship course stretching 6,600 yards from the back tees providing challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Offering a variety of golf and social memberships, with affi liate privileges for their members at The Royal Fox Country Club, The Grove Country Club and Klein Creek Golf Club, the club features exclusive dining and golf and fi tness accommodations, along with private function rooms and distinctive places for hosting special events.

Built in 2006, the clubhouse is fur-nished in true country club tradition. Modeled after the Mount Vernon home of President George Washington, it’s the destination of choice for a casual bite to eat after a round of golf, or an upscale

dinner to kick off the weekend. The outstanding culinary team has created a superb menu for both formal and casual dining, and also offer excellent catering services for private functions.

Klein CreekLocated in Winfi eld,

Klein Creek is a stunning 18-hole course, and at 6,700 yards from the tips, this championship design is challenging for even the most accom-plished players. Each hole is designed to create a memorable golfi ng experience, while four sets of tees allow the high handicapper to enjoy a satisfying day on the links. The course has remained semi-private and offers additional privileges to the members of The Royal Country Clubs.

The Grove Country ClubThe 18-hole Royal Country Club in Long

Grove is a private course that fi rst opened in 1964. Measuring more than 7,000 yards from the back tees and with a slope rating of 133 and a USGA rating of 74.2, good golfers appreci-ate the course for its unique qualities and inherent challenge, while four other sets of tees, ranging from 6,800 to 5,000 yards, make The Royal Country Club of Long Grove eminently play-able for any ability level. Lush bentgrass fairways and “fast but fair” bentgrass greens assure the quality of play. Sixty-three strategic bunkers, out-of-bounds on every hole, water in-play on

eight holes and thousands of mature trees assure you’ll have to work for a low score.

The Royal Member/Guest ExperienceUpon arrival at The Private Country

Clubs guests are greeted at the bag drop area where an attendant tags your bag and transports it to a golf cart. The Locker Room Manager assigns you a locker in proximity to that of your host, and assists you in any and every way possible.

The professional staff is there to answer any questions you may have regarding the golf course, the event in which you

They’ll also arrange for your transportation to the practice tees – located just north of the clubhouse – while there are two putting greens located at each course for members’ guests to use.

The Royal Country Clubs take pride in their caddie program, and both members and guests are encouraged to use caddies whenever they’re available. “Do-it-yourself-ers” will be pleased to fi nd that all courses are equipped for laser link range fi nders. The Halfway House serves daily specials, sandwiches, fresh fruit and much more. It can be reached at the end of the ninth hole at The Royal Fox and at the Clubhouse at The Royal Hawk, and you may call ahead using your cell phone – which must be set to “vibrate” mode whenever you’re on Club property – to order.

After a challenging round, members and their guests fi nd solace in the classic styled Clubhouses, where they will enjoy luxurious amenities including the formal dining rooms, the saloon, and the patio overlooking the impeccable greens and lush fairways.

Klein Creek Golf Club, a member of The Royal Coun-try Clubs’ family of fi ne area clubs and courses, is an 18-hole “must play” masterpiece conveniently located

in suburban DuPage County, just south of Route 64 and east of County Farm Road. Klein Creek – offering daily-fee ac-cess -- features contrasting gentle doglegs bounded by forest with strategically bunkered fairways and greens, wild prairie grasses and more than 30 acres of man-made lakes. Klein Creek has been repeatedly recognized as one of the area’s best-maintained courses, and Golf Digest’s Places to Play has awarded the course its 4-Star rating. The signature ninth hole – a 453-yard par-4 with water and OB on the right, a fairway bunker on the left and a well-protected green – predominantly plays into the wind and has been rated as the most challenging No. 9 in Chicagoland. Klein Creek is the perfect setting for your next outing, fundraiser, wedding or other social occasion, with a banquet facility that seats 250 comfortably. PGA professionals staff an award-winning Golf Shop and are available for lessons. Seasonal memberships and permanent tee times are also available.

Oswego’s Fox Bend Golf Course is a layout that purists will enjoy playing. The 6,890-yard, par-72 is a tradition-

al test of shot-making ability decorated with mature trees, plush fairways and receptive greens.

Owned and operated by the Oswego-land Park District, Fox Bend is fair, affordable and formidable.The layout contains 34 bun-kers and water comes into play on 11 holes. A canopy of 100-year-old oaks and willows tower overhead like relics of a different era as you traverse the landscape.

“It’s picturesque,” said General Manager Brad Doyle. “On quite a few courses the trees aren’t mature, and that isn’t the case here. At Fox Bend, when you fi nish the round, you’ll remember the holes you play.”

A brisk pace of play allows the golfer to develop a rhythm at Fox Bend – a luxury many courses don’t afford.

“It’s a very nice course, in great shape with an interesting variety of holes,” com-mented a golfer who recently tackled the municipal track. “It’s not in a housing devel-

opment, which is a plus. This is really just a well-managed course. Expected pace of play is four hours or less, and they keep people on track.”

In 2011, Fox Bend will host yet another USGA qualifi er. Previously the course has welcomed a number of distinguished tourna-ments - three Illinois Opens, the Illinois PGA Championship, Western Open qualifying and a 2010 USGA Junior-Am qualifi er.

Fox Bend has aged like a world-class wine, growing as a course and as part of the community since its debut in 1967. The golf course was a groundbreaking project built by Brent Wadsworth, owner of the Wadsworth Construction Company. He used the course as an outdoor showroom for his golf course construction business.

Oswegoland Park District and neighbor-ing Fox Valley Park District residents enjoy resident rates and all golfers enjoy reasonable daily rates at one of the western suburbs pre-mier golf courses. Weekday rates, weekend rates, twilight rates and specials are available online at www.foxbendgolfcourse.com.

Set in the western suburbs of Chicago, Seven Bridges Golf Club is an upscale public facility that features an 18-hole championship layout by Dick Nugent, a pris-

tine clubhouse with unparalleled views of the course, a staff with an uncompromising commitment to excellence and an award-winning banquet and special event operation.

Defi ned by its contrasting nines, Seven Bridges has consistently ranked among the top public golf courses in the Chicagoland. The course is currently listed as the No. 5 public-access course in the city by About.com Chicago and ranks as the No. 10 overall course in the state of Illinois on GolfLink.com.

Seven Bridges has always enjoyed a reputation as a well-conditioned, shot-maker’s layout that will challenge even the most astute and accomplished players. The water-laden back nine has been called one of the most diffi cult loops in the Chicagoland. It’s also one of the most memo-rable nines in the region.

The club emphasizes a brisk pace of play and all golf carts come equipped with state-of-the-art GPS systems.

Come play the course critics are still raving about as it matures into its 9th season. The Village of Bolingbrook has turned some former farmland

into one of the top municipal golf courses in the country and one of the best places in all of Chicagoland to golf, dine, entertain and host large events and parties. The Arthur Hills design can play from just under 5,000 yards to more than 7,100 with fi ve sets of tees. The links-style layout features seven lakes that come into play on 14 of the 18 holes including the picturesque island-greened 15th, an over-the-water carry of 67 to 156 yards. Three of the four par 5s play into the prevailing wind and the fourth measures up to 600 yards from the tips. The Bolingbrook Golf Academy includes a dozen tar-get greens, a huge short-game area with multiple chipping greens and bunkers, an enormous putting green and even two complete practice holes, all lighted for nighttime use. Formal and informal dining and events of all sizes are possible in the 76,000-square-foot clubhouse.

Renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills brings his award-winning design talent to Illinois for the fi rst time with the classic layout

of Stonewall Orchard Golf Club. Hailed as the world’s No. 2 designer by GolfWorld

Magazine in 1998, Hills allowed the natural rolling landscape to dictate this magnifi cent 18-hole Lake County design. From the more than 65,000 fully mature pine and oak trees to the acres and acres of rolling hills, tranquil wetlands and wildlife, Stonewall Orchard has those unique, natural qualities often as-sociated with golf in the Carolinas.

Offering the public a country club environment in a relaxed atmosphere, Stonewall Orchard is one golf course you’ll want to play time and time again. We welcome you to enjoy this memorable experience.

Pure golf, in a magnifi cent natural landscape unsullied by development. That’s what you’ll experience at Oak Grove Golf Course in McHenry County.

Oak Grove is among an elite handful of Illinois golf courses ranked 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest. This championship 18 nestled in gorgeous, rural countryside features some of the fi nest public greens in Chicagoland and private-club condi-tioning. Vibrant wetlands, mature oak savannas and generous fairways all contribute to Oak Grove’s unique ambiance. Swing away at the practice facility and following your round, “The Lodge” clubhouse serves up delicious bar-and-grill fare. Best of all, Oak Grove’s exceptional golf experience is accessible and affordable. “Our customers rave and are astounded we’re not packed, but we’re off the beaten path,” notes GM Tim Miles, Jr. With fi ve tee placements per hole, the course is enjoyable for all levels, yet the CDGA ranks it among its toughest pub-lic tracks. Oak Grove’s exclusive private setting and spacious clubhouse make it an ideal venue for corporate and other large outings. A manageable drive from most of Chicagoland, Oak Grove is also just 15 minutes south of Lake Geneva.

In 1990 Gary Pinns battled the blustery winds and snarling fescue at the Golf Club of Illinois to win the last of his

fi ve Illinois Open championships. A testa-ment to the severity of the 7,041-yard par-71 course, Pinns, who is now one of America’s top teaching professionals, was the only man in the fi eld to defeat par.

The public links-style layout was softened in the decade after the ’90 Illi-nois Open, as hazards were removed from fairways and native grasses were trimmed to manageable heights. There are fi ve tee positions in place at the course, saving be-ginners and high handicaps from having to tackle the course at full strength.

General Manager Rob Lemke said the course is especially popular with senior players – proof that while Golf Club of Il-linois can be a brute at times, it’s eminent-ly playable for all ages and skill levels.

Golf Club of Illinois was composed by popular Chicagoland architect Dick Nugent, and then partner Bruce Bor-land. Borland went on to build signature

courses for Jack Nicklaus Design from his hometown of Peoria to Indonesia, but met a very untimely and tragic end aboard the Learjet he shared with Payne Stewart and four others bound for The Tour Champi-onship in Dallas in 1999.

Although the design has been slightly altered since it debuted in 1987, its distinguishing characteristics still remain. Generous fairways, fescue rough, which tickles your knee caps in some spots, dev-ilish sand bunkers and gentle mounding will be experienced from start to fi nish.

One thing you won’t fi nd at Golf Club Illinois is a tree. In true links fash-ion, the course is barren and completely at the mercy of gusting winds. As you make your way around the course, the wind will oscillate, blowing in your face and against your back.

The greens are on the small side, and can be very quick and challenging, with substantial undulation in certain places.

“This links-style course can be pretty brutal for the high-handicapper, especial-


nns battled the blustery ing fescue at the Golf

Golf Club of Illinois Dialed Down, but Still One Heck of a Challenge

ly on a windy day,” said one golfer who recently tried his luck at GCI. “I’d avoid playing from the tips unless you’re a low-handicapper or a real glutton for punish-ment. “But I guess as dedicated golfers, we’re all gluttons for punishment.”

The most memorable, and most an-ticipated, hole at Golf Club of Illinois is the massive 11th, which measures 678 yards from the tips and plays as a par-5. At the time it was constructed, this beast was the longest par-5 in the United States. It’s since been surpassed at a number of facilities. As of June 1, 2010, the longest par 5 recog-nized by the United States Golf Association is a 725-yard hole in Marana, Arizona.

The par-5 11th known as “Grant’s March” is only four yards shy of being eligible for par-6 status. The USGA guide-lines are such that any hole 691 yards and longer from the back tees and 591 and longer from the ladies’ tees can be consid-ered a par-6.

Part signature hole, part tourist at-traction, the 11th plays slightly uphill, with out of bounds lurking down the entire right side. Fescue-covered mounds border the fairway to the left. Two well-struck shots will leave you a short-to

mid-iron from the green, but be careful of two bunkers that pinch the landing area at 160 yards out. Par is an achiev-able score here, but beware doubles and triples.

Golf Club of Illinois has been impressing with its terrifi c conditioning as of late. The course brought in a new superintendent in 2006, and all greenside bunkers were overhauled at that time.

The clubhouse was recently remod-eled and contains a fully-stocked pro shop with the latest styles and equipment, a banquet room that can accommodate

225 guests and a 19th hole that serves drinks and casual fare. Men’s and Women’s locker rooms can also be found in the clubhouse.

A practice facility is avail-able for warm-up or post-round practice and features

grass and matted tees, target greens and hills and a putting green.

Opened in 1968, Plum Tree National Golf Club is a classic course with a sterling reputation for cham-pionship tradition and a storied history. Through

the years, Plum Tree has welcomed many a talented golfer to its greener pastures. The Joe Lee-designed course has hosted U.S. Open sectional qualifying and various Illinois PGA events.

The 18-hole course is quietly nestled into 200 acres in the unspoiled rolling woodlands of rural McHenry County. This picturesque natural setting provides 18 distinctive and formidable holes of golf that can challenge the best while not beating up the rest. Plum Tree’s reputation is for fair and affordable golf.

The back nine at Plum Tree is a special experience…one where the golfer can really get away from it all and remember when he/she fell in love with the game for the fi rst time.

Plum Tree also offers a full-service pro shop, a large practice area with real grass tees, locker rooms, an outdoor patio and banquet facilities. The course is surely a “must play” in the Chicagoland area.

Built on a 170-acre tract of rolling farmland in west-ern Kane County, Hughes Creek Golf Club is an Illinois golf destination that gets better each year.

A truly peaceful setting with a sympathetic relationship with nature, Hughes Creek contains gentle rolling hills, wetlands, native plants, fl owers and beautiful song birds. The panoramic view of the course from the clubhouse is unforgettable.

But don’t be hypnotized by the beauty of the layout. Designed by Gordon Cunningham, Hughes Creek forces a player to utilize every club in the bag to navigate its rolling topography. The course also requires accurate iron play into its greens, and once you’re reached the putting surface, you’ll need to putt with precision to score well.

Secluded and a long way from city streets, it’s just you, a few Redwing Blackbirds, American Goldfi nches and the golf course at Hughes Creek.

Be sure to visit the 19th hole to sample the area’s best home-cooked hot dogs or stop in the restaurant and enjoy a wonderful lunch or dinner. For more information on Hughes Creek, visit www.hughescreek.com.

Cary’s Chalet Hills Golf Club is an atypical golf experience that the late, great Midwestern architect Ken Killian called “the greatest course I have ever

designed.” Killian wasn’t bashful about praising this layout, and rightfully so.

Chalet Hills holds a 4.5-Star rating from Golf Digest magazine, and was lauded as one of the top 5 in the Chicago-land area by Zagat Survey.

Exceptional scenery highlights the experience at Chalet Hills. Two-hundred-year-old oaks and hardwoods frame the undulating landscapes from tee to green. Lakes and streams add to the aesthetic value of the terrain and contribute to the risk-reward nature of many holes, like the 140-yard, par-3 17th, an enticing island green.

Don’t let the 73.6 rating and 137 slope from the tips intimidate you, however, if you are not a low-handicap golfer. Four tee placements ensure that golfers of all abilities can escape from the ordinary and relish the beauty and superior playing conditions of Chalet Hills. A generously sized banquet room adjacent to an elevated stone patio overlooking the course makes Chalet Hills an ideal venue for medium and large outings as well as weddings and other special events.

Athrilling, beautiful, “big-shouldered” 18, Tanna Farms Golf Club promises a memorable and chal-lenging experience. No. 1, a gorgeous island-green

par 3, sets the stage for a sequence of wonderful holes, including two sprawling par 5s. Playing to 6,510 yards from the tips, this par-71 layout is a test of shot-making strategy that will require deployment of every club in your bag. Yet at just 4,727 yards from the front tees, with meticulously maintained bentgrass playing surfaces, Tanna Farms is a pleasure that is accessible and friendly to golfers of all abilities. The course is just minutes from Randall Road on Ge-neva’s west side, yet is surrounded by a prairie landscape that feels light years away from the hustle and bustle of town. Onsite dining, T.F. Boonie’s Saloon & Eatery, is a full-service restaurant and bar featuring Old West them-ing, a delectable menu and a shady patio overlooking the 18th green. A spacious pavilion lets Tanna Farms accom-modate groups up to 200+. With its fantastic location, the facility is ideal for corporate or charity outings, parties and special events of all kinds.

The rebranded Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club is teeming with improvements and re-opened this summer after a comprehensive project to modernize the layout

and manipulate the namesake water feature that meanders throughout the course. Improvements in aesthetics and playability have been achieved thanks to the handiwork of Lohmann Golf Design and the guidance of the Hoffman Estates Park District. Eight attrac-tive timber bridges replace steel bridges and allow various creek crossings. The bridges will be adorned with plaques that pay tribute to legends of the game like Bobby Jones, Chick Evans, Samuel Ryder and Babe Zaharis. Overall 15 holes were modifi ed in some fashion and the nines were fl ipped, as No. 1 is now No. 10. Fescue grasses were added to provide depth and defi nition and more tee boxes were installed to lengthen and shorten the 35-year-old course. Water hazards are bigger and more visible, creating some interesting risk-reward shots that didn’t exist before.

Get to the course early to take advantage of the 9,100-square-foot putting green, Bent grass chipping area and 55-station driving range. The facility is also outfi tted with a state-of-the-art golf academy.

and Long Run Creek. This area between Orland Park and Lockport has been recently incorporated into the new town of Homer Glen, Illinois.

The mature, 6,609-yard, 18-hole championship golf course has also been enhanced in recent years. The results of these enhancements are obvious: the scenic golf course has been carved out of the natural environment and features fi nely manicured fairways lined with majestic oak trees. Built on rolling terrain, featuring water hazards and sand bunkers, the rustic beauty of this tract is the perfect complement to this challenging golf course.

Built in 2008, a practice range offers a truly unique atmo-sphere for practicing all aspects of the game. Built on the highest point of the property and surrounded by large trees, golfers hit downhill to four large target greens with bunkers. Both grass and artifi cial tees are available.

Adjacent to the tee line is a short game area consisting of a large green with three bunkers and 30 yards of fairway and a large putting green.

Like nothing else in the Chicago area...that’s Set-tler’s Hill, which lives up to its name with dramatic elevation changes across 18 varied and memo-

rable holes. Settler’s Hill is more than a golf course, it’s a golf odyssey carved through mature woodlands, prairie marshes and windswept highlands. Fabulous greens, deep bunkers and colorful seasonal wildfl ower displays add to the course’s appeal.

Heralded as one of Chicagoland’s best buys for 18 holes, Settler’s Hill has become a regional favorite. Superb conditioning and casual atmosphere make it welcoming and enjoyable for all levels of golfers.

Settler’s Hill may be the ultimate recycling success story, as it occupies the site of a former Waste Manage-ment landfi ll—a unique history that affords the course its signature topography. A Kane County Forest Preserve facility operated by GolfVisions, Inc., “Settler’s Hill is one-of-a-kind with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside,” comments longtime General Manager John O’Connor. “To play Settler’s Hill is to love Settler’s Hill.”

Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Hilldale Golf Club is a good test for any skill level. While Hill-dale might come across as a scaled down version

of the super long courses touring pros play today, don’t let the yardage fool you, this par-71 course has a rating of 71.6 and a slope of 135.

Known for having the “best greens in the burbs,” Hill-dale features no two holes that are alike and demands the use of the all the clubs in a golfer’s bag. In fact, a driver is never automatic off the tees of the par 4s, forcing golfers to think their way around this course.

Couple those characteristics with excellent conditions, ideal location and competitive green fees and golfers really can’t ask for much more.

But there is more. Along with a complete pro shop, there is a practice range, C.K. Mulligan’s bar and grill, a sushi bar and a beautiful banquet room overlooking the course, making Hilldale extremely golf outing friendly.

Career and personal milestones can transform an individual forever. A single meeting can be the beginning

of a fulfi lling life in a leadership position. A hole-in-one during a golf outing could give you bragging rights for life. A family reunion can change the course of a relationship. Wed-dings mark the beginning of a lifelong union, as two once independent lives become linked for all time. These transformative moments should be magical. At the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club, where a multi million dol-lar enhancement to the golf course and clubhouse recently re-wrote the club’s own history, organizing a special event that meets the signifi cance of the moment is an unwav-ering commitment. All of the changes that have taken place in the past few months at Bridges of Poplar

Creek were in an effort to better equip the facility to host daily-fee golfers and guests of golf tournaments, banquets, business meet-ings and weddings. Modernization was achieved on many levels in regard to the 18-hole champi-onship golf course. Water features were manipulated to improve the look, feel and challenge, and drainage was improved. Plaques paying tribute to golf legends were installed throughout the course. Playability will be the focal point of any golf outing at Bridges of Poplar Creek. Aesthetics were enhanced throughout the property, as eight timber bridges were installed to replace steel bridges to give the layout extra pop and appeal. The 18-hole championship course is now an even more pristine backdrop for your special day. Facilities available at the Bridges of Pop-

THE PERFECT DRIVECourses Outside Chicago that are Worth the Drive


The Fort Golf Course Indianapolis, IN

To fi nd the best public-access ex-ample of Pete Dye’s legendary work in the Circle City, travel just a few

minutes northeast of downtown India-napolis to the Fort Golf Course in Fort Harrison State Park.

The Fort showcases the best of what Indiana golf has to offer. At 7,148 yards playing to a par 72 over nearly 240 acres, this layout meanders through trees, val-leys and wetlands in order to create an experience that allows the golfer to enjoy nature and the game all at once.

Originally opened In 1906, and named in honor of our 23rd President, Benjamin Harrison, Fort Ben served multiple roles during major military confl icts from WW1 to Desert Storm. A few years after the post closed following the Cold War, the land was purchased in

the mid 1990’s by the state of Indiana, which turned to Pete Dye to redesign the golf course. Reinvented by Dye, with help from protégé Tim Liddy, and ready to entertain golfers of all ability levels, the new Fort Golf Course opened in the fall of 2007.

Since the opening The Fort has con-sistently ranked amongst the best courses in the state of Indiana and is currently rated the #1 public course by Golf.com. In 2011, Golfweek’s “Best Courses you can play” category ranked The Fort Golf Course 3rd in the entire state.

It’s an impossible chore to select just one signature hole at The Fort. Nos. 4, 5, 6, 11 and 18 are all worthy of that distinction. Each of these Dye creations shares a few common traits: thick woodlands and elevation changes, which demands a precise tee shot. Each hole then concludes on quick greens requiring a skillful sense of fi nesse.

The Fort has become a popular “Stay and Play” facility, due to the variety of

lodging options available. Golf packages at The Fort include 18 holes of golf with cart, overnight lodging, unlimited range balls, complimentary bag storage and souvenir bag tag and ball. The facility has become a trusted choice for corporate and charity outings. Here are some facilities available for lodging and events:

The Main Lodge – A 28-room facility lo-cated just 300 yards from the golf course

The Harrison House – A more intimate facility with suites and very comfortable overnight accommodations a mere 100 yards from the golf course

Offi cers Homes – Fully furnished 3-bedroom homes that once housed visit-ing dignitaries and military generals

Garrison Conference Center – The ideal space for your wedding or business con-ference, the Garrison has a dining room that offers daily lunch, weekend dinner buffets and delicious Sunday brunches.

In addition to the conference center, overnight lodging accommodations and championship 18-hole golf course, The Fort has outstanding practice grounds, private and group instruction and men’s and women’s locker rooms.

The Brassie Golf Club is an 18-hole championship facility bearing an authentic British Isles fl avor and boasting some of the best greens in the area.

Considered by many to be one of the best golf experiences in northwest Indiana, The Brassie also promises exceptional value. Designed by architect Jim Fazio, the course opened in 1998 to rave reviews. Featuring gently rolling terrain, strategic bunkering and distinctive fescue areas, The Brassie has that classic links “feel.” It stretches from 7,008 yards at the tips (rating 74.3, slope 137) but plays down to 5,493 yards from the forward tees (rating 72.0, slope 126), providing a challenge for all skill levels. In addition to a meticulously conditioned golf course, The Brassie–operated since summer 2011 by GolfVisions–offers friendly service, a fully-stocked golf shop, complete practice facilities, and a 19th hole serving up great golf comfort food and beautiful views of the course from the shady patio overlooking 18 green.

This majestic club was designed and originally operated by its resident owners, the famed Michigan design family of Bruce Mathews, Sr. Since 1998 when the Rooney Golf Group LLC purchased the property, it has undergone a $4.5-million revitalization.

President and Oklahoma Air National Guard Captain Dan Rooney brings an equal passion for great golf to his intense commitment to serv-ing our country, whether by fl ying his F-16s over the Middle East, or his involvement with the Folds of Honor Foundation (foldsofhonor.com).

Measured by any metric, Peoria’s WeaverRidge Golf Club is one of the best places to play golf in Illinois. Built on 300 up-and-down acres on the former site of Weaver Angus Farms, the 7,030-yard championship course was designed by the team of Dr. Mike Hurdzan and Dana Fry. The Hurdzan-Fry fi rm, based in Colum-bus, Ohio, is responsible for a number of well-received layouts scattered through-out the Midwest, including Wisconsin’s Erin Hills, host of the 2017 U.S. Open.

“WeaverRidge is one of the fi nest sites we have ever worked on with much of the golf course nestled between deep ravines and picturesque valleys above the scenic Illinois River in an area carved by glaciers,” reads the design group’s summa-tion of the course.

Two hours south of Chicago traveling on Interstate 55, Peoria long ago emerged as a reliable barometer of mainstream American attitude. “Will it play in Peo-ria?” is a well-known slogan about gaug-ing whether particular persons, products or promotional themes will resonate with an audience that’s been selected to repre-sent our nation’s middle.

How is the premier course in one of the country’s fi nest mid-sized cities play-ing to the golf course rankings crowd?

Quite well, thank you.In 2009, readers of the trusted Zagat golf

guide pegged WeaverRidge as the top public course in Illinois. Golfweek’s 2010 “Best Courses You Can Play” state-by-state rank-ings listed WeaverRidge at No. 4, just behind usual suspects like Cog Hill’s Dubsdread.

Among public, private and resort courses in the state rated by Golf Digest, Weaver-Ridge slid into the top 20.

On Golf Magazine’s national list of the top public-access golf courses, Weaver-Ridge ranked No. 89.

WeaverRidge has received national acclaim since it was fi rst introduced to golfers in Central Illinois in 1998. That year, Golf Digest positioned the Hurdzan-Fry layout second on its docket of “Best New Upscale Public Courses.” The winner that year, by a microscopic margin of 0.04 points, was Pete Dye’s Bulle Rock Golf Club in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Bulle Rock has since hosted multiple LPGA Championships.

WeaverRidge is an enticing blend of beautiful scenery and substance. The layout itself is outstanding – a traditional course speckled with nearly 100 sand bunkers where the terrain retreats and rises as much as 12 stories.

On the 228-yard 12th hole, a spec-tacular par 3, your golf ball plummets more than 120 feet tee to green. Perched high above the eventual landing area, you’ll marvel at this picturesque hole. To complete the setting, the green is en-circled by forest, and when autumn has turned the leaves hues of red, orange and yellow, this is really a magnifi cent site.

The fi nale at WeaverRidge is an-other spectacle to behold. At a length of 556 yards from the tips, the par-5 18th descends almost 80 feet from tee to green, crossing a creek at the 290-yard mark. Your round wraps on a behemoth of a green; it’s nearly 120 feet deep. Onlookers from the porch of the facility’s clubhouse have a fantastic vantage point 70 feet above the putting surface.

Overall, the nines nicely comple-ment each other, though each has its own defi ning elements. The beauty of indig-

enous prairie grasses and fl owers accents the front nine, while the back nine offers some wonderful views of the area.

There are homes at WeaverRidge as Crain’s Chicago Business pointed out in an article fi led in June of 2010, but they’re not eyesores by any stretch and they don’t negatively infl uence play.

“Few of the state’s top courses are surrounded by homes,” the article started. “WeaverRidge is, with more than 300 upscale Georgian- and Tudor-style homes sprinkled along some fairways, though the residences are back far enough from the landing areas to present minimal bother. Some of the million-dollar edifi ces make the walk seem like a stroll through Architectural Digest.”

In every facet, WeaverRidge em-bodies what the spirit of American golf should be. The course is family owned and operated, serves the community (lo-cal high schools practice here), doesn’t cost an exorbitant amount to play, ranks high among actual golfers and offers a spacious, relaxing setting.

WeaverRidge also features top-notch practice facilities, and is capable of host-ing weddings, banquets or outings. For more information, or to book a tee time today, visit www.weaverridge.com.
