Golf in Wayne

Wayne is a village in Kane County, set in the western exurbs of Chicago and known for its preserved rural and equestrian character. Straddling the Kane and DuPage county line near the Fox River valley, the village has long protected its open space, with large lots, bridle paths, and abundant woodland giving it a distinctly countrylike feel. Wayne developed as an equestrian community and retains that identity, its emphasis on open land setting it apart from the busier suburbs nearby. Golf fits naturally into this setting, with courses occupying the wooded, gently shaped ground near the Fox River valley. For golfers, Wayne offers rounds in one of the leafier and more deliberately rural corners of the western exurbs, where the village's equestrian heritage and its commitment to preserving open space and woodland define the surrounding landscape.
