After breakfast, spend some time with nature…on the golf course that is. You won’t find better conditions in all of the Midwest and with such affordable greens fees. The Rockford Park District and Winnebago County Forest Preserve manage the eight fabulous courses in the area that gave Rockford its Golf Digest three-year consecutive ranking as the USA’s “Best Mid-Sized City for Golf." Aldeen Golf Club and Practice Centre was awarded 4-1/2 stars by Golf Digest’s “Places to Play" guide!
