Golf in Port Byron

Port Byron is a small Rock Island County village on the Rock River north of the Quad Cities where bluff terrain and river views define the community's character. The village occupies a bend in the Rock River where the bluffs create panoramic views of the river valley, and Byron Hills Golf Course benefits from the elevated terrain that makes this stretch of northwestern Illinois more scenic than the flat agricultural land of the surrounding region. Port Byron's small size and river character give it a distinctive identity in the Rock Island County golf market. 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.
