Quick confession: I’m a golfer.

There, I said it. I’m glad I said it. So what do you think of that?

I’m also a frequenter of Kane County’s two golf courses: Settler’s Hill and Hughes Creek — not only because they’re close by, but because they’re affordable and fun.

If you’re a golfer, two gift ideas you might consider are season tickets, gift cards or punch cards for the coming year. Here’s more information:

Settler’s Hill Golf Club

Heralded as one of Chicagoland’s best buys for 18 holes, Settler’s Hill is a favorite in Kane County and beyond. Here, links, parkland and water holes combine to create a truly varied and memorable golf experience. Quirky greens, deep bunkers and colorful seasonal wildflower displays add to the course’s charm. Superb conditioning and a casual atmosphere make Settler’s Hill welcoming and enjoyable for all levels of golfers. The course’s west-central location in Batavia near the Fox River makes Settler’s Hill a natural choice for meeting friends for a round or planning an outing.

Settler’s Hill is a Kane County Forest Preserve facility operated by GolfVisions Management, Inc. “Settler’s Hill is a one-of-a-kind golf course with breathtaking views of the Kane County countryside,” comments longtime general manager John O’Connor. “People who play Settler’s Hill, love Settler’s Hill!”
