Golf in Loves Park

Loves Park is a city in Winnebago County, set just north of Rockford in the Rock River valley of northern Illinois. Part of the greater Rockford area, it grew through the twentieth century into a residential and commercial community well outside the Chicago metro. The Rock River and the surrounding open country shape a landscape of river-cut terrain and farmland distinct from the suburbs of the eastern part of the state. Loves Park functions as one of the suburbs of the Rockford region, with its own neighborhoods and businesses. Golf here is anchored by a well-regarded daily-fee course that draws players from across the greater Rockford area. For golfers, Loves Park offers a round in northern Illinois far from the Chicago metro, in a community shaped by the Rock River valley and its place within the Rockford region.
