Awesome course
I love the layout and condition of this course. Very fair yet challenging. Ball rolls nicely on the greens and are faster than most, which is fine with me. Staff is friendly, facilities are outstanding. Absolutely zero complaints. Will definitely return. I live in Bloomington-Normal where we have several very nice muni courses and I prefer this course. Plus, there's a great brewery just down the road, which I suggest visiting after a round of golf.
Great Course / Still New
The course is in great condition. The only potential issue is the greens are still very hard since the course is new. I found I had to aim a little shorter with my clubs as there is a greater tendency for the ball to bounce on the green surface. This will become better with time. The course is in a very nice location, and there are many tee options, so golfers of all skill levels can play. I will definitely come back to the course next year!
Worth a long driving from Chicago to play it
Five star condition. However, illuminate lots of bunker, for easy public player. Add distance for college team young players
#1 white sand quality bunker
First time I've played this course since it switched over from Stone Creek. I enjoyed the changes in course layout, and quality dams in the bunkers. I got a great deal using golf now, and definitely plan to return!
Great Course
We travelled an hour and a half to play the course and it was worth the trip. Course is in great condition and the weather was perfect. Staff was friendly and we stayed for dinner at Homegrown in the clubhouse. Part of the University of Illinois, so if you are an alum, it is a must play!
gem in urbana
Country club conditions at municipal prices. Must play if in the area!
The New Atkins Golf Club
The upgrade in maintenance practices and the renovated greens and bunkers is significant. The course is basically the same layout as the original Stone Creek but with added back tees, strategic bunkering and some narrowing of landing areas for College Golfers while maintaining playability for average players. The firmer greens and surrounds are a great. The bunkers are in the best condition south of I80.
Good championship course. 7500 yards from the tips is a great test for any plus handicap. Sand and greens are perfect
Fee for rider
It’s absolutely ridiculous to charge a player an extra $25 for a rider when theres no point because I will only ride with myself not anyone I don’t know. Its a fee that will deter me and a whole lot of people
A perfect round
Wow I was really impressed with this course! It was really the ideal day, the weather was perfect, the price was well worth this level of golf course and I had really good company. I will say we used all aspects of the golf club and were pleased with every area and person we interacted with that day. We dropped our bags with a very pleasant attendant who loaded all our bags and things up while one of us went to pay and I went to park the car. We putted on the practice green which gave us a great feel for how the course greens would play. Then getting in the cart we found to be very well outfitted with Bluetooth, usb chargers and gps for the holes we headed to the first hole. We were greeted on hole 1 by a very kind and informative starter. We were not pushed or waiting on anyone throughout our round on a Friday afternoon. The bunkers were pristine and the fairways and greens were immaculate. This is in my top five courses played and have played countless rounds in my hometown Las Vegas and traveling to the Caribbean among other countries. Keep up the great work I will come back anytime I am in the area.
Championship Course
Fun to play. Set up nicely. Best sand traps anywhere. Greens fast and consistent.
