One beautiful course

I play golf all over Illinois, but have never played at this course until now. What a gem. Lots of hazards but placed well so that you can avoid them. This course is beautiful and well kept.

The only complaint I have is there were geese all over the course.

A Gem To Be Shared

I have hosted friends from out of town on multiple occasions and each time they play Aldeen they are impressed by both the course and the value, even after donating a few balls to the water hazards which plagues us weekend warriors.

Aldeen - Come play in Rockford

Aldeen is fun but challenging. Even for those of us who have been playing it since it opened. It requires patience and understanding of the layout. I know what to expect from certain areas and lies. I don't play it very often anymore because it will test you mentally. The greens especially are tricky and will frustrate even the best players. The new club house will be nice and it is the nicest golf course in town.

A must play course

If you play upscale courses. You need to go to Aldeen and give yourself a treat.
Outstanding course
It has 18 wonderful holes and makes you think while you play not just grip it and rip it.
Go play Aldeen and when your done. You will tell yourself "i need to come back".
