STONEWALL ORCHARD GC

The wetlands threading through this northern Illinois layout create genuine strategic choices, especially on the par-4 seventh where water guards the entire left side from tee to green. Designer Harry Vignocchi carved routing through mature oaks and rolling prairie terrain that rewards course management over raw power. The bentgrass greens roll true and feature subtle undulations that demand precise approach shots, making this one of the better daily-fee values in the Chicago suburbs.
