Illinois Golf Courses Ford County Ford County, located in east central Illinois, has the distinction of being the youngest county in the state. It was carved from a part of Vermilion County and became the 102nd county on February 17, 1859. It was named after Thomas Ford, the eighth governor of Illinois, who died nine years before the county was organized. The largest town and county seat of Ford County is in Paxton where the present courthouse was built in 1906. A near violent argument broke out between Paxton and Gibson City that year, as each town wanted the new courthouse. Finally, when the old building was torn down, the supervisors left one wall standing in the basement. Thus, by building on and around the old wall, they settled the argument by saying that they were remodeling, rather than building a new structure. Ford County is shaped like an inverted capital T and the northern part is known as the (panhandle). There are 45 other counties in Illinois having a smaller land area than Ford County. Let’s see the Illinois Golf Courses in Ford County.

Illinois Golf Courses Comments:
This is a links-style course. The constant change in wind conditions makes this an adventure for all skill levels of golfer. There are young trees lining the fairways, and the numerous sand bunkers and mounds can give a good golfer fits. The firm greens are fast, undulating, and vary from medium to large in size. The round culminates with a 583-yard, par 5, requiring a tee shot into a narrow landing area with water along the right side, and then a second shot into a well-bunkered area.
