This is my husbands favorite golf store. Its great to browse in, plenty to choose from. Also, there is the really nice feature of the heated golf range where you can try out clubs! They have a large variety of equipment for the beginner to the advanced. The staff if pretty helpful as well, and they'll let you try out anything before purchasing.

If you are looking for a PGA level golf course, this is your place. This isn't some par three course. From beautiful greens and fairways to a great clubhouse and food, this is a great place to spend a day. You'd be hard pressed to find a better golf course in this area.

There's always something going on here and for the winter time blues you can't beat taking your kid here. If you are good about getting out there's a resident pass, otherwise Thursday afternoons are donation only (or free to the cheap-os out there). Great stuff for kids of all ages, and look for their special activities, like JIM GILL (but trust me, arrive WAY early for this one!)

I think the Klehm Arboretum is beautiful. Most people in Rockford don't even know it exists! What a shame. Our friends actually were married there and it was beautiful. Big open spaces and very well taken care of. It's kind of on the bad side of town, but it's totally safe and worth the adventure.

This park has SO much to do. Equestian Center and a children's farm and playground equipment for all ages. This is a great day trip for your family! And they do offer classes for riding if you're so inclined. Just a beautiful, often overlooked park. I found that it was great for really small children and they do group tours if your preschool is interested!

More
Welcoming Rockford's newest (and oldest) resident, Burpee Museum recently added Jane, the dinosaur, to its collection of animals, fossils, minerals, and more. This is the perfect place to while away a long winter afternoon, and kids will love the T-Rex and Mammoth skeletons. Look for special programs to add additional value to your visit. The Burpee Museum recently won a national museum award for its Jane exhibit; let's hope this is the beginning of some real improvement in Rockford's museum exhibitions.

Those of you who don't like the stench of smoke when you’re out, this is the place for you. This bowling alley has 42 lanes and electronic score keeping. A big factor is that they do not allow smoking on Sundays. It’s good day to book a kid’s birthday party or bring the whole family for a couple of games.

Site of the iconic Rockford sculpture, "Symbol," Sinnissippi Gardens offers an award-winning rose garden, a floral clock, a lagoon with swans and ducks, and a greenhouse with seasonal displays (including turtles and birds). Summer is best for strolling or skating along the bike path, and this is a favorite site for dog walking on beautiful Sunday afternoons. Don't miss Rockford's variation on the loch ness monster floating in the Rock River.

I recently had to get work done on a Harley Davidson motorcycle and I went to Kegel's. The service there was superb, and they were able to fix the problems with my bike. They also had a nice little restaurant as well. I recommend Kegel's to any motorcycle enthusiast in the Rockford area.
