AURORA COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Aurora, IL, USA
Designed by Tom Bendelow




Aurora Country Club, a fixture of the western Chicago suburbs since its founding in 1912, reveals a rolling parkland layout that reflects the sensibilities of its era. The gently contoured fairways and mature trees dictate a strategic, rather than bomb-and-gouge, style of play. While length isn't the course's primary defense, intelligently placed bunkers and subtly sloping greens require thought and precision on approach shots to score well. A characteristic of many courses in the region, Aurora presents a fair test for golfers of all skill levels.
Designed by the respected Chicago architect Tom Bendelow, Aurora Country Club presents subtle architectural charm. Bendelow, known for his work at Medinah, translated his expertise in crafting challenging but playable courses to this Aurora gem. While later renovations have undoubtedly refined the course over the years, Bendelow's original vision of a walkable, strategic parkland remains apparent.
Aurora Country Club maintains a strong regional presence, known throughout the western Chicago suburbs for its commitment to community and accessible golf. The membership is comprised of dedicated golfers and families who value the club's relaxed atmosphere and deep-rooted history. Aurora is the kind of place where generations have learned the game, fostering a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the golf course.
Reviews
A classic Midwest parkland course layout. Even from the tips, not overly long, with several reachable par 5s. Lots of straightforward hole layouts except for hole 3. The par 3s are sneakily challenging. The course is in great shape and exactly what you would expect from a private club
