ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – The course widely considered Rockford’s most difficult is set to open very soon.
On Friday, April 17, Aldeen Golf Club will open for the season.
While golfers in the area have already begun their seasons, Aldeen had to take some extra time to open to the public.
Back in 2025, the Rockford Park District kicked off a $2 million project to rebuild all of the bunkers at Aldeen.

In a perfect world, you wouldn’t have to hit out of the bunker and you could just enjoy the game of golf like a top-rated professional.
Unfortunately, you’re not playing for a green jacket in Rockford.
However, the Aldeen bunkers are filled with fresh, white sand and ready for you to dig your spikes into and chop away.
Just remember to rake the bunker. They’re there for a reason.
