Bel-Mar Country Club

Experience the rich tradition of golf excellence at a historical Northern Illinois golf course with today's feature: $15 for 18 Holes with Cart at Bel-Mar Country Club in Belvidere near Rockford ($30 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until October 1, 2013.)

It was more than 91 years ago that the course at Bel-Mar Country Club was designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Bendelow. The course’s picturesque 18 holes offer a unique sense of history while still feeling relevant to today‘s player. Bel-Mar Country Club is anything but stuck in the past; the club is looking firmly to the future as it welcomes a new generation of golfers.

The scenery on Bel-Mar’s golf course is reminiscent of a simpler time, straight out of the Golden Era of golf design, when long, narrow fairways with gentle doglegs dominated the layout. Back then, holes were lined by woods rather than homes. With excellent upkeep through the years, this par-71 doesn't show its age except in the elements of its design.

The course spans a total of 6,124 yards from the longest tees with a course/slope rating of 68.8/114. This wonderfully fun and classic layout will challenge seasoned players while remaining inviting even to rookies, who will get to enjoy the perfect scenery as they learn this great game.

But there’s more to this club than the course itself. The newly updated sports bar at Bel-Mar Country Club is the perfect place to celebrate a great round of golf with your favorite beverage in hand. You can’t beat the view as you turn from the big game on TV to the vistas outside the magnificent walls of windows. It’s definitely worth a visit to taste what everyone is talking about.

So grab your clubs and maybe a few friends and experience the classic design at Bel-Mar Country Club!
