Golf in Dayton

Dayton is a small LaSalle County community in the Illinois River valley where the river's influence on the landscape remains significant even at this distance from the dramatic canyon terrain of the Starved Rock corridor to the east. The village occupies river terrace terrain where the valley floor meets the upland prairie, and Dayton Ridge Golf Club takes advantage of the modest topographic variation this transition creates. LaSalle County's strong outdoor recreation tradition anchors the golf market in this part of north-central Illinois. 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.
