Rich Harvest Farms (Gold)

Overview: Rich Harvest Farms Gold is a private course on a large Sugar Grove, Illinois property. Jerry Rich shaped a parkland setting of rolling fairways, water and mature landscape into a course that feels connected to the wider farm rather than isolated from it. The long routing combines open ground with wooded sections and asks for disciplined positioning around its larger hazards and green complexes.

History: Jerry Rich began developing the property in 1988, expanding from three holes to a full course over about a decade. Rich Harvest Farms officially opened in 1999, and the property has since supported collegiate golf and major amateur and professional events.

Did You Know? The farm has hosted the 2009 Solheim Cup, the 2017 NCAA Division I Championships and the 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup. The property also encompasses about 1,820 acres and has an Audubon sanctuary designation, giving the course a broader land and conservation context.
