Yorkville’s signature golf community: custom and semi-custom homes on roughly three-quarter-acre lots wrapped around the 18-hole Whitetail Ridge Golf Club on the far south side of town, with new custom builds still underway.
Whitetail Ridge is Yorkville’s golf-course community, laid out around the Whitetail Ridge Golf Club on the far south side of town — north of Route 126 and west of Grove Road, off the Route 71 corridor. Thornbrook Construction opened the development in the mid-2000s and the Greg Martin-designed course followed in 2007. The first wave of homes went up between 2006 and 2012, but this was never a production build-out: lots sold to individual buyers and custom builders, and new homes are still being delivered in 2026 by builders including McCue Builders, Overstreet Builders, DJK Homes, and Revolution Builders.
The course defines the setting. It plays as a par-71, roughly 6,600–6,800-yard layout the club markets as ‘A Tail of 2 Nines’ — a valley front nine along a creek and a wooded, hillside back nine — and it is open to the public, so residents get golf-course frontage without a private-club obligation. The club campus adds the Persimmon Room restaurant and bar, event venues, and a 30-bay heated indoor Golf Dome with Trackman technology for year-round practice. Inside the neighborhood, homes sit on lots averaging about three-quarters of an acre with ponds, sidewalks, and long fairway views, and the HOA is minimal — roughly $100–$200 a year on most recent listings.
This is one of Yorkville’s top price tiers. Resales have closed between roughly $660K and $1.35M over the past few years, with the median hovering around $800K–$865K in 2024–2025, and new custom builds have listed up to about $1.5M. Buildable lots run from the mid $100s to around $300K, which draws buyers who want to pick their own builder and plan. Inventory is thin — typically 10–20 sales a year — so serious buyers usually watch both the resale market and the remaining lot supply at the same time.
Pricing reflects Whitetail Ridge sales and active listings as of mid-2026.
Single-family homes of roughly 2,400 to 5,200 square feet, most with 3–5 bedrooms, 3+ baths, and three-car garages on lots averaging about 0.74 acres. Recent medians have run $800K–$865K. Suits move-up and luxury buyers who want golf-course or open-space frontage without building from scratch.
See listings →Buildable homesites have listed from about $125K to $300K, with several custom builders holding lots in the community. Completed new-construction customs have listed up to roughly $1.5M. Suits buyers who want to control plan, finish level, and builder on one of Yorkville’s few remaining golf-course lot supplies.

An 18-hole, par-71 course designed by architect Greg Martin and opened in 2007, playing roughly 6,600–6,800 yards. The club bills it as ‘A Tail of 2 Nines’: a creek-lined valley front nine and a wooded hillside back nine. It is a public course, so no membership is required to live here or play.
The club campus includes the Persimmon Room restaurant with a full bar, event and wedding venues, leagues and outings, and a 30-bay heated and air-conditioned indoor Golf Dome with Trackman technology — year-round practice a short drive or cart ride from home.
Lots average about three-quarters of an acre — several times the typical Yorkville subdivision lot — with fairway frontage or views on select sites, plus ponds and preserved open space through the neighborhood. The HOA stays light at roughly $100–$200 a year.
Unlike Yorkville’s production subdivisions, Whitetail Ridge still has buildable lots and multiple custom builders active in 2026, including McCue, Overstreet, DJK, and Revolution. Buyers can purchase a lot outright or contract a build-to-suit.
