BELMONT GOLF CLUB

The mature oaks and maples frame generous fairways that reward aggressive play while punishing wayward shots with unforgiving rough and strategically placed bunkers. This classic Chicago-area parkland layout demands every club in the bag, with elevated greens that test approach shot precision and subtle breaks that separate weekend warriors from single-digit handicappers. At under $50 for weekend play, it delivers the kind of honest golf that built the game's reputation in the Midwest—no gimmicks, just solid design that improves with each round.
