Landscapes Golf Management to operate Settler’s Hill, Hughes Creek Golf Courses

Landscapes Golf Management has been selected by the Forest Preserve District of Kane County to operate Settler’s Hill Golf Course (Batavia, Ill.) and Hughes Creek Golf Club (Elburn, Ill.), both less than one hour west of Chicago.

“We look forward to this partnership with Landscapes Golf Management,” said Benjamin Haberthur, executive director of the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. “We know from its experience with local park district courses that the company will be a good fit to manage the Forest Preserve District-owned courses. Improvements in turf conditions, food-and-beverage offerings and more will make these courses more popular.

Settler’s Hill underwent a property-wide, $6.8M renovation in 2022-2023 to modernize the 18-hole, 6,487-yard, par-71 course. Golfers feel they’ve both been transported to the Scottish Highlands and immersed in deep forestry. The clubhouse is a renovated dairy barn that overlooks the practice putting green.

Hughes Creek features an 18-hole, 6,506-yard, par-72 layout across gentle rolling hills and wetlands, including native plants and flowers. Players often hear native wildlife, including red-wing blackbirds, goldfinches, cardinals and more.
