Aldeen Golf Club

When it comes to high-quality golf at an affordable price, Chicagoland golfers can find a gem of a course just down I-90 in Rockford.  The Aldeen Golf Club is an 18-hole Rockford Park District golf course featuring manicured bentgrass greens, challenging water features, beach bunkers, and breathtaking landscape.

Aldeen is rated 4-stars by Golf Digest “Places to Play;” listed as one of the Top-30 new public courses built in 1991; and named one of the “Top-50 courses in the USA under $50” by GOLF Magazine in September 2004. Last year, a story in the Chicago District Golf Association Magazine included Aldeen as one of the CDGA’s toughest 25 public golf courses, called “Chicago Bears.”

The Dick Nugent-designed course has played host to many championship golf events including the 2001 Illinois Men’s Amateur and 2004 Illinois Women’s Amateur. Aldeen was also the first area course to offer golfers the Laser Link Distance System.

The 26-acre Aldeen Practice Centre is also a state-of-the-art facility that is about to get even better. The four existing target greens are being replaced with six new, more visible and accessible target greens. The main body of the facility will be re-seeded with a bentgrass fairway, intermediate rough and primary rough exactly like what players see on the golf course.
