Eagle Creek Golf Course

This course was once called Eagle Creek. It has a pro shop that is in a trailer in the old parking lot. It has been that way for a couple years. However, the course is in terrific and almost immaculate shape. The greens were very decent and the fairways in good condition as well. Many blind shots from the tips and narrow narrow narrow fairways. Very challenging course. Scratch golfer will struggle to break 80 from the tips. Many sets off tees.

Cut through the woods on hilly terrain. A great test. Forced carries can be eliminated by playing the up tees, so playable for all skill levels. Well-maintained. Challenges all aspects of your game. A must play for this area.

Great, well maintained and very well designed course and unbelievable value.

We really enjoy going to Eagle Creek as it's more challenging than our normal courses and it is much better maintained. The views are great.

Only complaint from this last time is that we had a group of 'teens' in front of us and one of them ran back and threw our ball over into the weeds and they were just goofing off, which is to be expected :). However, throwing our ball into the weeds was unexceptable and we didn't say anything because we were just 'over it' at that point and left our round early.

very scenis and vaery challenging, target golf, a LOT of dog legs.

You have to hit it straight on this course or be ready to lose a lot of golf balls. There is very little ob because most everything else off the fairway is an unplayable. The back nine in particular is dog leg left, then right, then left. The course will certainly humble most players. If you think you are playing well, this is the course you should play to test that theory. The complimentary driving range is also a nice perk. I wish more courses offered that option.

Beautiful Course in the woods. If you hook and slice you're going to lose a few balls. If you can hit em fairly straight you're going to enjoy this course. No cart girl but there was a cooler with Ice cold water every few holes or so. I would go back.

This course is beautiful and in pristine condition. Very well maintained. Scenic. Saw 2 deer and a fawn right by the tee box and they did not even appear to be frightened.
Club House was in a small trailor which was the only downside.
Well worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to play this course!!

Outstanding is the way I describe The National!! Carved through Central Illinois Mature Oaks, this course is truly a "Get away from it All" gem of an experience; where after the first 2 holes, the only possible noise or outside human intervention is from boats on the adjacent Lake Shelbyville. Each fairway is separated by tall timber allowing Total concentration on your next shot. The dense woods does mean you need to bring plenty of Golf balls if struggling with hitting straight! But Big tee box distance differences mean "Play it Forward" can solve that problem! Also, there's better variety there with size, shape and slope on greens than most nice courses I've played. It all starts with the complimentary Driving range which is the best I've been on with a confidence building downhill slope toward the gorgeous view of the lake. I always leave that range with Positive Karma. So inviting I often return at end of round, which I have never done elsewhere! Andy is Great in the currently temporary Pro shop, which at this point does not serve hot food while renovations on the lodge continue. This is clearly my groups favorite golf destination in Central Illinois; and yet as tough as it can be from back tees, my best golf always occurs here! Jeff
