WOODSTOCK COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling prairie terrain northwest of Chicago creates natural elevation changes that architect Dick Nugent exploited brilliantly, particularly on the par-4 14th where your approach plays dramatically downhill to a green fronted by water. Mature oaks and maples frame generous fairways that reward aggressive driving, while the bentgrass surfaces remain pristine despite heavy public play. This daily-fee gem proves that championship conditioning and thoughtful routing don't require country club dues.
