Crystal Woods Golf Course

Crystal Woods Golf Course in Woodstock, Illinois offers a timeless test of golf with modern accessibility. Originally designed by Bill Langford in the early 1950s as Bit O’ Heather G.C., this 18-hole par 72 course preserves the charm of its tree-lined fairways while embracing a late-1960s redesign by Charles Wagstaff. The result is a 6405-yard layout with a 115 slope and 69.5 rating, delivering strategic shotmaking and quality greens from multiple tees. The semi-private/daily-fee model in McHenry County was pioneered here, balancing members’ pride with open play for visitors. Highlights include a classic, park-like setting along Route 47, just minutes from Woodstock’s shops and dining, with generous fairways and thoughtfully bunkered greens challenging players of all abilities. Whether you’re dialing in mid-iron approaches or tactically shaping your drives, Crystal Woods rewards smart club selection and course management.
