Thinking About Living in Royal Fox Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Royal Fox Country Club and the surrounding Chicago Western/Southwestern Suburbs golf market.
Royal Fox Country Club opened in 1989-90 on the east side of St. Charles, Kane County, built as the clear organizing amenity of the surrounding Royal Fox subdivision -- a single-family home community developed between roughly 1988 and 2001 whose streets, lot layout, and marketing are built directly around the golf course. The subdivision has its own homeowners association structure, including a distinct sub-association known as Royal Fox One (Royal Fox Association 1), covering 171 homes north of Route 64 and east of Kirk Road. This is a genuine developer-driven golf-residential community, not an old-guard club with houses that happened to grow up nearby.
The club itself is private, with membership by invitation and sponsorship from a current member; it has hosted the Illinois PGA Open multiple times over its history. Buyers should understand the access model precisely: the subdivision and the club were built together and share a name and a golf-course-view real estate identity, but current sourcing -- including the club's own materials and real estate coverage of the subdivision -- confirms membership is a separate purchase, not included with or required by home ownership. Many, but not all, Royal Fox residents choose to join the club.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-71 course plays roughly 6,816 yards from the back tees and has hosted the Illinois PGA Open multiple times over the past decade-plus.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Royal Fox Country Club membership is private and sponsorship-based -- a prospective member needs to be sponsored by a current member. Buying a home in the Royal Fox subdivision does not include or require club membership; it is a separate application and cost, though many residents do join given the community's identity around the course.
