About this course

Foxford Hills Golf Club sits in Cary, a northwest suburb of Chicago in the Fox River valley region. Designed by Tim Nugent and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the glacially-shaped landscape common to this part of Illinois. The property features elevation changes more pronounced than typical parkland courses in the Chicago area, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and across open meadow areas. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, incorporating several holes that play uphill or downhill and require thoughtful club selection. Water comes into play on multiple holes, and the bunkering reflects a traditional style with strategic placement around greens and landing areas. The course measures over 6,800 yards from the back tees and offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels. As a public facility operated by the Cary Park District, Foxford Hills serves both local residents and visitors from the broader Chicago metropolitan area. The course has developed a reputation within the region as a solid daily-fee option that provides a more challenging test than many municipal layouts. The clubhouse offers standard amenities including a pro shop and food service, supporting both casual rounds and organized league play throughout the season.

Getting there

Foxford Hills Golf Club lies in the far northwest reaches of Chicago's suburban expanse, most easily accessed via O'Hare International Airport (ORD), roughly forty-five minutes southeast by car. The drive traces the outer arc of the metro area along Route 14, where strip malls and subdivisions gradually yield to the rolling farmland and wetland preserves of McHenry County. As you turn onto Rawson Bridge Road, the landscape opens into a quieter, more pastoral Illinois - a fitting transition to a daily-fee layout that has carved its reputation from the prairie itself.
