Eagle Creek Golf Course

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
