Settler's
Hill Golf Course (owned by the Kane County Forest Preserve
District)
"The clubhouse, overlooking the practice green, is a
renovated dairy barn dating to the property's turn-of-
the-century roots as Kane County's "poor farm." And
prior to its current incarnation, this was the site of the
county's solid waste landfill."
