Great hidden gem.

Great old school layout with elevated greens that are very well taken care of and can be as fast as any private club you'll play in the area.

Fairways are lush only knock would be sand in some of the bunkers was lacking quality.

Must Play for Bill Langford Fans

This Langford and Moreau course is almost untouched with only the 5th hole not being original and the original green is still there abandoned. Course flows well over mostly flat terrain. The signature Langford and Moreau greens are the strength of the course and several have to be seen to be believed.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Need to delay tee times when outing is held the same day

We were going to be delayed for 30 plus minutes due to a shotgun outing still coming off 18 and needing to play holes 1 and 2. After 10 minutes and several other groups coming in from all over the course, I requested to start on 10 as nobody was on the hole nor was anyone coming up the 9th hole. The young gentleman giving out cart keys obliged and we started 10 minutes after our tee time. Pace of play was great as we had the entire back nine to ourselves, played a little slower on the front as we finally caught groups.

Great par3’s.

I love the Elks it’s my favorite golf Now course. Greens have been really nice lately. The par 3’s are great. Only draw back the fairways are a little Sketchy. The greens are spectacular. If you miss greens it’s tough getting up and down. Give this a try and you’ll definitely come back. Pace of play is the only draw back. Just make sure you get out early then its not bad.

Course was an amazing example of early architecture. Greens were an absolute joy. I’ll be playing there every time I’m in the area. Condition was excellent.

Midwest gem

Layout, course conditions, amenities are all excellent.

This course is for the intermediate to advanced golfer.

If this course was closer, it would be a weekly player.
