Stonebridge Country Club


About this course
Stonebridge Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Aurora, a city in the western suburbs of Chicago. The course was designed by Tom Fazio with Andy Banfield and opened in the mid-1990s as part of a residential community development. Fazio, known for his emphasis on strategic bunkering and naturalistic shaping, brought his characteristic attention to visual presentation and playability to this Illinois layout. The property features moderate elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors that define individual holes. Water comes into play on several holes, typical of courses built in this era of suburban development where ponds serve both aesthetic and drainage functions. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with fairways that move through wooded areas and open to views of the surrounding landscape. Bunkers are positioned to frame landing areas and greens, creating definition and strategic interest throughout the round. As a private country club, Stonebridge serves its membership with traditional amenities including practice facilities and a clubhouse that anchors the community. The course provides a championship-length test from the back tees while offering multiple tee options to accommodate players of varying abilities. The layout reflects Fazio's approach to creating courses that balance challenge with playability, fitting within the landscape of suburban Chicago golf where numerous private clubs serve residential communities throughout the western metropolitan area.

Getting there
Stonebridge Country Club sits in the prosperous suburbs west of Chicago, accessible via Chicago's two major commercial hubs - O'Hare International (ORD) and Midway International (MDW) - both roughly 30 to 40 minutes away depending on traffic patterns and routing through the city. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in nearby Wheeling offers a considerably more discreet alternative, positioning you just 15 minutes from the club's gates. The drive from any of these points carries you through the rolling, manicured landscape of the Chicago metropolitan area, where tree-lined suburban roads gradually give way to the refined residential enclaves that define Aurora's character. Your final approach winds through neighborhoods of substantial homes and manicured grounds, arriving at Stonebridge's elegant clubhouse - a fitting culmination to a journey through one of America's most established golf communities.
