Enjoy a genuine Chicagoland gem with today's feature: $25 for 18 Holes with Cart at The Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin near Schaumburg ($59 Value. Expires October 31, 2015!)

The Golf Club of Illinois is well-known in the Fox Valley region for its high-caliber offering to golfers of every level. A classic links-style layout with an unparalleled reputation, The Golf Club of Illinois has been a fan-favorite since its opening in 1987. In fact, the Chicago golf community has consistently recognized this club as one of the "Top 10 Public Courses to Play" in the area (Chicagoland Golf).

Constructed by golf course architects Dick Nugent and Bruce Borland, The Golf Club of Illinois combines creativity with classic charm to offer every guest an unforgettable round. An abundance of high fescue grasses, deep bunkers and strategically placed mounds give this course a potent combination of beauty and challenge. Holes such as the signature par-5 No. 11 embody this ideal to perfection: Mounds line the fairways of this 678-yard monster with the occasional bunker thrown in for good measure, and the green is similarly guarded.

Stretching to a lengthy 7,041 yards from the furthest set of tees, those who play from this challenging location will not be surprised at the 73.9/132 course/slope rating. While The Golf Club of Illinois may present a notable challenge from the tips, Nugent and Borland ensured all players would feel welcome by adding three additional sets of tees that measure as little as 5,645 yards.

So whether you prefer to play from the front tees or the back tees, there's no doubt that this highly rated Chicagoland favorite will have you coming back for more.
