About this course
Cedardell Golf Club sits in Plano, Illinois, a small city in Kendall County roughly fifty miles southwest of Chicago. The course was designed by Leonard Macomber, a regional architect active primarily in the Midwest during the mid-twentieth century. Macomber's work typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain features of the Illinois landscape, including gentle rolls, mature tree lines, and occasional water hazards. The course occupies land characteristic of northern Illinois golf terrain—relatively open with modest elevation changes and stands of deciduous trees that frame fairways and define playing corridors. Routing on courses of this era and region often follows traditional out-and-back or looping patterns that allow golfers to experience varied wind conditions and different angles of approach throughout the round. Cedardell serves primarily as a community club for the Plano area and surrounding towns, offering a straightforward test of golf without the severe length or penal design features found at championship venues. As with many clubs established in smaller Illinois communities during the twentieth century, Cedardell functions as both a golf facility and a social gathering place for local members. The club provides a setting for recreational play, league competitions, and family outings typical of regional golf clubs across the Midwest.
