Settler's Hill Golf Course
April 16, 2019
After years attempting to accommodate a practice facility at Settler's Hill Golf Course in Geneva, Illinois work will begin later in 2020. The permitting, regulatory and environmental issues presented at Settler's Hill are numerous, and the planning, design and execution of this project needed to accommodate a new World-Class Cross Country Track on the landfill and the resultant stormwater runoff. Ultimately, this new facility will be coordinated with a new clubhouse and clubhouse location for all visitors to Settlers Hill. This project, coordinated with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, Kane County, Waste Management and Weaver Consultants will continue planning through this year.
