Congratulations to the Park District Board, Director Jim Breen, and Course Manager/PGA Golf Professional Jim Wheeler on Pottawatomie Golf Course being ranked #15 on the list of best 9-hole courses in the United States by Golf World Magazine.

Pottawatomie Golf Course is owned and operated by the St. Charles Park District. It is the only public golf course in St. Charles and is certainly one of the most scenic in the Fox Valley. Pottawatomie Golf Course was originally designed in 1939 by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. It is a quality course that provides golfing opportunities for all ages and abilities at an affordable price.

Due to the beautiful weather in St. Charles last week, I was able to play a round of golf on Thursday morning with my 10-year old son, John. The course was in great shape and we had a fantastic time.

For those that have never experienced golf at Pottawatomie, I highly recommend it. For those that haven’t been there in awhile, I encourage you to get reacquainted with your old friend.
