Family Owned & Operated Since 1967

Crystal Woods Golf Course, a pioneering semi-private/daily fee golf haven in McHenry County, boasts a rich history and a transformative journey. Originally crafted by the esteemed Bill Langford in the early 1950s as Bit O’ Heather G.C., this 9-hole, par 37 gem underwent a remarkable evolution. In 1967, Charles Wagstaff ingeniously merged tradition with innovation, expanding it into an 18-hole, par 72 masterpiece.

Under the visionary leadership of owners Richard and Mary Ann Craig, Crystal Woods not only expanded its horizons but also set a new standard in golf course design and accessibility. Officially reopening in the summer of 1969, it stands as a testament to enduring quality and a unique golfing experience.
