The city of Aurora Illinois, has announced that it’s Fox Valley Golf Club will be closing for the 2015 golf season on Sunday November 1st.

The golf club will not be reopening in 2016 or beyond.

The club located on Rt.25 has been a home for golfers for over 4 decades. It was annexed to North Aurora over 20 years ago.

In recent years the aging infrastructure of the property was requiring more than 1 million dollars to keep going, it would take even more money to keep the club operating.

As a result, earlier in 2015 the city voted unanimously to sell the course to Odawa Development LLC, for 5 million dollars.

“The City of Aurora and the golf staff would like to thank the patrons who have continued to support the Fox Valley Golf Club over the past 40 years,” said Jeff Schmidt, Aurora PGA Operations Manager.

For any golfers that would a final round or more in the final weeks of the club while in operation, there are special rates.
