Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois

Played on Monday at noon. There was a 30 minute interruption due to thunderstorm. Finished 18 holes at 3:30pm so 3 hours of play which is fantastic. Pro shop was very friendly and the service was fast at the food and beverage counter. The carts are nice with built in GPS. Greens are ridiculously fast.

Overall for the lack of rain in Great Condition. Greens were fast but a little dinged up. Fairways and bunkers in great condition for the time of year. If an experienced golfer it’s a must to play. Pace of play was great!

This was a first time round at Atkins GC. Everything was perfect from tee box, on the lush fairways to the greens, that were quicker than I'm accustomed to. Lol.

I will play this course again this fall for sure.

I e played Atkins a number of times both before and after the change. Today’s round may be my last! Course in great shape. Fast greens manicured and shot my best sub 80 round if the year.

But the management thinks they’re running Bay Hill or Pebble Beach! We got two carts for our 4 some. Two guys did not show-sick/illness. We head to tee with both carts. No problem at pro shop or starter. We finish #1 and up drives an asst manager telling us to reload o to one cart. No single carts for you!!! Why? No explanation - just unload to one cart and in fact he took my clubs off my cart and then did the same with all my belongings! We questioned the motive and the reasoning and his comment was no single carts please proceed to hole #2. and drive off with the 2nd cart keys as it sat there.

Rude! Belligerent! Unprofessional!

There’s plenty of great courses to play in central Illinois with good personnel that appreciate players! Do not need the “Troon” attitude.

I have played Atkins Club four times now since the reopening the course is in good condition But every time I go I get read the right act from the Pro and now the assistant Pro. I had my nine year-old son with me who did not have clubs. He was simply riding along with me since it’s summer and I do not have a sitter for him. They charged me $25 ghostwriter fee. They called it, I told them that every time I come out there they have a beef with me harassing me about something and the pro simply replied “well at least I’m consistent”

I’ve never felt so unappreciated as a customer as I have at this golf course and I’ve played probably 5,000 rounds of golf in my day including a stint on the Mini Tours.

This place just doesn’t get it

Green is really fast and challenging. Beautiful course. Will come back and play again.

Had a great practice round at Atkins Golf Club. Course was in great shape. Greens are quick and difficult, but that just makes the birdies even sweeter. Got to meet the club pro on the first tee. Was great to chat with him about the course. The marshal did a great job of regulating play. Can’t wait to come back.

Enjoyed a great day of golf at Adkins...course was in great shape, greens are faster than any other course I've played in Illinois so a little challenging to get used to. It was pretty windy but that kept us nice and cool. Staff was very nice. Pace wad a little slow due to a small outing playing ahead of us a few holes, but nothing too bad. Play Adkins...you will enjoy it!

Great golf course that’s in very good condition. A little expensive at full price, but a great deal was available on TeeOfff. Looking forward to getting back later this Summer..

A wonderful experience. Friendly staff, nice people, excellent view!

Didn’t receive a bag of range balls like normal. Girl behind the counter is eating fish and rice while checking in. By no means professional. Kinda got hounded and felt like Larry David. Never had this happen before. Hopefully next time during the week I can get back to experiences like the previous one’s I have of this course. Course was not being marshaled well. Play was slower than average.

I used to play this course when it was called Stone Creek GC and I loved to playing it. Now it is called Atkins GC and when I thought the course couldn't get any better, I was wrong. This course has upgraded and improved in so many areas. The layout now, the greens, the bunkers, everything! I thought I was playing somewhere out of state. What a great experience there today and the staff was excellent! Highly recommended and it's 5 stars all day.

Course conditions were excellent for it being this late in the season. Greens are on the more challenging side, but fair, firm and fast.. Wonderfully designed layout, with challenging visuals. Watch out for the water on #2 approach if you're a first time player of Atkins.

Staff was friendly and responsive. Practice area and clubhouse facilities some of the best in the area.

A gem of a course. If you're in the area, and play golf, I highly recommend Atkins.

This course is really nice layout and conditions. Played a month ago in the drought, and tees to greens were still green. Now that we’ve had rain the last couple weeks, the whole course has greened up. Fairways and greens are manicured so well. Tough to hold greens without spin from the fairway. Many sets of tees for my wife, daughter and I to all be challenged. Staff were friendly.
