Golf in Aurora

Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois, occupying both Kane and DuPage counties along the Fox River where the waterway has defined commercial and industrial development since the nineteenth century. The Fox River's corridor through Aurora provides natural scenery and recreational opportunity, and the city's multiple golf facilities — from municipal Phillips Park to the private Stonebridge Country Club — reflect a diverse and active recreational culture. Aurora's mix of historic neighborhoods, newer suburban development, and a growing arts district makes it one of the most complex and interesting communities in the Chicago metropolitan area. Illinois' strong community tradition and the state's extensive park and recreation system create the context for golf clubs that serve as social anchors alongside the natural and civic amenities of community life.
