Settler's Hill Golf Course

Settler's Hill is owned by the Kane County Forest Preserve and operated by GolfVisions Management. In a nice bit of land-reuse, the course occupies the site of a former waste management landfill.

The non-resident walking rates are $38 weekdays, $47 on weekends and holidays (carts are $19).

Awsome use of a landfill. Kane County should be proud of this course. The only negative is that the tees are not very level.

Challenging design on former landfill site. The greens are mostly elevated, and multi-level with a lot of breaks.
The course does have some decent elevation changes to make it interesting.

Value - $49 for 18 w/ cart on a weekend, A little pricey compared to other nearby courses. Discount coupons available on their web site, also Check Golfnow.com for discounted fees. Usually about the same as the coupons on the web site.

Pace of Play - 5 hrs on a weekend....

Maintenance - Mostly in decent shape. A few fairways and greens were in rough shape, but OK overall. Most bunkers were in poor shape, some were OK.

No water station on any holes. Come on. Cart service was fairly good.

I guess they are inviting you to carry on your own. 9th hole does not come back to the clubhouse. Not until about the 13th are you back. A few portable restrooms are available. Tall grass awaits errants shots on most holes, but not overly tight.

No driving range, putting green only.

Sometimes crowded course. A tee time is suggested instead of being a walk on.

A course worth playing.
