Golf Courses

Voted best municipal course in Illinois by Golf Digest, and ranking number 38 in Golf Magazine's Thrifty 50 list.

Aldeen Golf Club invites you to experience eighteen championship holes with expertly manicured greens, tees and fairways, challenging water hazards on 12 of 18 holes, and 62 sand bunkers including three Dick Nugent-designed “beach bunkers.” Aldeen was ranked #21 by Golf Advisor as a Top Course under $50 in August 2016. This was based on reviews over the previous two-and-a-half years. Of the 50 courses that were ranked, Aldeen Golf Club was the top-rated course in Illinois. Aldeen was ranked the best municipal course in Illinois by Golf Digest in 2009 and rated 4-1/2 stars by 2008 Golf Digest Magazine’s Places to Play guidebook. GOLF Magazine calls it one of the Thrifty Fifty (top 50 courses in the country under $50). Aldeen is ranked #23. The Aldeen Golf Club has set a new standard for upscale public golf in northern Illinois. Keith Creek winds through the front nine past our signature 8th hole with its island green and replica of the Swilcan Bridge at St. Andrews. Subtle elevation changes, along with mogul filled roughs and numerous trees, provide a straightforward, challenging, and beautiful test of golf. Tee times are welcome, a full service golf shop is fully stocked, and PGA professionals are on site for lessons or any assistance you may require.
