About this course

Ingersoll Golf Course sits on the west side of Rockford, Illinois, on land donated to the Rockford Park District in memory of Lt. Clayton Ingersoll. The public 18-hole course opened in 1922 and was laid out by Thomas Bendelow, with later work credited to Bob Lohmann and Larry Packard. Wooded, narrow fairways and gently rolling terrain define the layout, which plays to a par of 71 over roughly 6,228 yards. A 1924 brick clubhouse still anchors the property. The course includes a driving range with 12 stations and a putting green, and it offers a separate four-hole learning course added in 2004 for beginners and families. Tee times can be booked up to 14 days ahead through the park district.

Aldeen Golf Club

Rockford, IL · 2.4 mi away

Aldeen Golf Club is a public course in Rockford, Illinois, operated by the Rockford Park District as its fifth municipal course. It opened on July 26, 1991, funded in part by a gift from Norris and Margaret Aldeen, and was designed by the firm of Dick Nugent and Associates with construction beginning in 1989. The 18-hole layout covers 7,131 yards with 62 sand bunkers, including three beach-style bunkers, and water hazards on 12 holes across four sets of tees; the par-3 eighth hole features an island green and is considered the signature hole. A 26-acre practice center with a driving range and large putting green sits alongside the course. Aldeen also includes the Alchemy restaurant and an event pavilion overlooking the eighteenth green.

Glen Erin Golf Club

Janesville, WI · 24 mi away

Glen Erin Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-71 public golf course in Janesville, Wisconsin, designed by Greg Martin and opened in 2003. The name translates to Ireland's Valley, and the layout carries wide, undulating fairways, large greens, pot bunkers and ribbons of native fescue. Because the course sits next to the Janesville airport, waterfowl restrictions kept water hazards off the property, a constraint the design works around with elevation changes ranging from subtle to dramatic. The finishing hole is a long par 5 to a double-tiered green in Janesville.
