Eagle Creek Golf 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.

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!!!

The course was in great shape especially considering how dry it's been. The greens were perfect.

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.

This course was out in the country but was well worth the money and an excellent course in great condition. I highly recommend!

Beautiful course. They’ve really done a great job of turning the course back into a great playable course. Clubhouse is lacking but the staff was great! Will be back again! Great rates!

Not very friendly starter. Came out on the course and scolded us and said that he told us something when , in fact he didn’t. Not very customer friendly. A real d!&k!

Course was I. Great shape. Beautiful day very challenging

Eagle Creek is an excellent and challenging course. It was in great shape. The fairways were well groomed.

This course has a lot of trees and doglegs. Be prepared to come up with some strategy instead of reacing for the driver all the time. The greens are a little small and there are bare spots in some of the fairways but pretty decent for a course in the country. No drinking water to be found anywhere. This may be a covid aftereffect but its hard to do 18 with what you carry in your bag.

The greens were aerated but in pretty good shape. Will be great in a few weeks

I really like this golf course and have played in the summer. This was first time in the fall and the fairways on some holes were in poor condition. Several had areas completely turned to mud perhaps from the sprinkler system. Also, leaves everywhere. It’s frustrating to lose balls on fairways because the leaves are so thick you can’t find them. Upkeep needs upgrading in the fall.

Monday in September should have a good speed of play. Not so. Lots of two-somes and three-somes that we’re not very good, extremely pokey and inconsiderate. As a single I got stuck behind people who didn’t offer to let me play through. I had to jump holes. Others thought every shot was the deciding factor for the Master’s, requiring a five minute conversation.

This is a terrific course, but when it is crowded they need a warden to move people along so they maintain a reasonable pace of play.

I really liked playing Eagle Creek, really I did. I thought the holes were really interesting, it really tested your game management skills. Lots of doglegs. Lots of elevation changes. I am sure, in fact I am positive, any other year, it woulda been one of my top 3 courses., You certainly do not need your driver. I hit one driver all day...smoked it...cut off a good bit of left to right dogleg left side of fairway...100yds out...last pic is the lie...terrible...disheartening.

Problem is....the condition. It was awful. It looks like the superintendent/greenskeepers tried, but gave up. Many many many bare spots in the middle of fairways, The greens also, bare patches everywhere.(pic 3)...Not a single putt of any length today that didn’t have to travel thru a thin spot. Not one. I guess the “regulars” have given up too. I fixed many ball marks. some cups looked like a few putter heads dove in to retrieve the ball.

I really liked this course, didn’t like the nearly hour long drive to find it in such bad shape. Save your play for next year. I am sure it will be in tip top condition, and it’ll test you...make you think. Well, at least I hope so.

Tee boxes were not set up, greens were in bad shape. Layout is horrible unless you prefer dog legs. Guy behind counter made feel guilty for using golf now. He said he should charge me something because they don't make any money when someone books through golf now. I do not recommend this course.
