Always well maintained beautiful course. They had just aerated the course so the greens were sandy but overall still an enjoyable course to play.

quiet and seclusion

The greens were pretty smooth and running at a decent speed. Faster than they've been in years past. The course is tree-lined, with a lot of underbrush and some elevation changes. Really different for central Illinois. You better hit it straight, or bring a lot of golf balls. The front 9 is a couple shots easier. Some of the holes get crazy on the back. I enjoy the quiet and seclusion. Sometimes you see more deer than people. It's rustic and a bit run down, but I'm glad it's still there and open. Off the course, still just a trailer in a parking lot with a few drinks and snacks.

Scenic Course

Despite the rain we truely enjoyed this course. It is very scenic with lots of wildlife, hills and beautiful trees. There are several Tee boxes to choose from depending on your skill level. Someday maybe they will get a real clubhouse again? It was worth the 65 mile drive.

Play this Course!

Course was in great shape, other than fairways had been cut to close and is in need of rain. Course overall in great shape! Pin placements were tough, which makes the back very challenging.

Great Layout

Eagle Creek is the most challenging track in central Illinois. Look past the occasional rough spot and you'll find all you can handle in challenge and shotmaking. Bring extra balls because a wayward shot will be eaten by any number of dangers.......and the views? Best around. Would be a $100+ course if the greens were a bit faster, but then putting would be an even more difficult experience. Awesome .....Awesome!!!

Great Shape Early Season

Spring in Southern Illinois can be wet and cold. That makes it difficult to find a course. Eagle Creek has the answer. We played there April 15 after two weeks of rain and the course was in very good shape. The rolling fairways were drained and bright green. The greens were okay but rounding into shape. Eagle Creek is a challenge off the tee. Holes work both left and right and some of the dog legs are severe. Our group had a blast. Great value. Check it out.
