Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to plan a golf trip to Kankakee County?

We think late spring, from May to early June, or early fall, September through October, offers the best conditions for golf here. You'll find the courses in prime shape, the weather is usually perfect, and you avoid the intense humidity of mid-summer.

What kind of golf courses will I find in Kankakee County? Are they challenging?

Don't expect resort-style behemoths; Kankakee County offers a solid collection of well-maintained, classic Midwestern parkland courses. You'll find a good mix of layouts that are fair but still offer a fun challenge for all skill levels, often with mature trees and some gentle elevation changes.

How does Kankakee County stack up for golf costs? Is it a good value?

Absolutely, Kankakee County is a fantastic value for your golf dollar. Green fees are generally very reasonable, especially compared to larger metro areas, meaning you can play more rounds without breaking the bank. You'll get well-kept courses and a friendly atmosphere without the premium price tag.

With seven courses, are there any specific "must-play" courses in Kankakee County we shouldn't miss?

While all seven courses offer a solid round, we particularly enjoy the classic layout at Kankakee Elks Country Club for its mature trees and strategic bunkering. For a more open, links-style feel, check out Aspen Ridge Golf Course-it's a fun contrast and often in great shape.

How many days should we allocate for a golf trip to Kankakee County?

With seven courses to choose from, we recommend a long weekend, say three to four days, to really get a feel for the region. You can comfortably play a round a day, maybe even squeeze in a replay, without feeling rushed. It's an easy-going pace here, perfect for a relaxed golf getaway.
