Rockford has a passion for golf, a fact the is obvious when you tee up at any of our public golf courses.  It’s no wonder that for three years (1998, 1999, 2000) Golf Digest rated Rockford “number one” for mid-sized US cities for the excellence of its public golf courses, based on course quality, holes per capita and affordable green fees.

Aldeen Golf Club & Practice Center
Aldeen Golf Club is Rockford’s premier public golf facility and was given 4 1/2-stars by 2004 Golf Digest Magazine’s Places to Play guidebook, the highest rating available for a public course.

Westlake Village Golf Course
Westlake Village Golf Course opened in July 1999. Westlake Village is maturing into one of Winnebago County’s top public courses.

The Golf Club @ Timber Pointe
