About Sycamore Golf Club
Sycamore Golf Club has been part of the Sycamore, Illinois landscape since 1923, laid out along the Kishwaukee River. The course plays just under 6,000 yards, a length that keeps it manageable without removing the challenge.
Tree-lined bentgrass fairways lead to large bentgrass greens, a combination that rewards accurate play while still leaving room for newer golfers to post a score.
