Settler’s Hill isn’t so much a golf course as it is a golf ODYSSEY. Nestled in the heart of Kane County, Settler’s Hill lives up to its name with dramatic elevation changes across a layout that traverses a variety of landscapes, mature woodlands, vibrant wetlands and windswept highlands.
Heralded as one of Chicagoland’s best buys for 18 holes, Settler’s Hill is a favorite in Kane County and beyond.

Superb conditioning and a casual atmosphere make Settler’s Hill welcoming and enjoyable for all levels of golfers. The course’s west-central location in Batavia near the Fox River makes Settler’s Hill a natural choice for meeting friends for a round or planning an outing.

Settler’s Hill is a fun and challenging course. The first hole is a breeze but with doglegs, some water, and some narrow tee shots you will be challenged. At times the course plays shorter then it opens up before getting tight at the end. You can put some aggressive swings on it but if you miss, it costs you. No frills place that my group enjoyed.
