Aldeen Golf Club consistenly ranks as one of the best public courses under $50 in the USA. What a deal!

4.5 Stars in Golf Digest. One of the top-50 courses in the USA in Golf Magazine. Host of the Illinois State Championship on several occasions. 

The numbers speak for themselves. In spite of being “just” a municipal park district course, this is a championship quality golf course at a bargain price.

The course was build in 1991 with a grant from Margaret and Norris Aldeen, CEO of the then-local Amerock hardware company. Norris was one of many successful Swedish-American entrepreneurs in Rockford, and he wanted to give back to the community by constructing a high-quality golf club for the people of Rockford.  Golf architect Dick Nugent was called upon, and he delivered a true gem. The result is a championship golf course and a first-class clubhouse, giving the visitor a true “Country Club” experience. Don’t miss it if you’re in Rockford. Or Chicago for that matter, it’s only an hour away.
