Piper Glen Golf Club

We played the day of club championship. The greens were cut and rolled and played very quick. The rough was a little taller and thick, made it tough for me, mid-high handicapper.

Only negative is too many people don't repair ball marks on greens. Tee boxes were a little beat up.

Piper is consistently one of the best courses in the Springfield area. Very well maintained with closely mown fairways and nice sand in the traps. Fast greens take a little getting used to. Make sure to hit practice chips and putts prior to play.

Was driving through the area and made a side trip to play PG. Got on and had an outstanding time as a single. The course is southwest of Springfield, Ill, and kind of in the middle of nowhere. Very friendly staff working on a hot day.

Wasn’t sure what the conditions would be but the course was in good shape. Maybe because it is out of the way, it doesn’t get a TON of play. The greens were outstanding and had some crazy undulations. Holes 1 and 9 have a small creek cutting across the fairway near the green, necessitating a forced carry to reach. Pin on 7 was in a diabolical spot as I had a 20-footer but hit it a little too firmly and had a 10-footer coming back!

Routing was a little funky. Thought I had gone to hole two but hadn’t driven far enough and instead was at four. Also, after finishing nine, you have to turn back and drive all the way back up to the clubhouse. More water in play of the back nine. Hole 12 is a par three that is all cay to reach. The finishing hole is solid with a small lake looming short and left. Probably would be a difficult course to walk due to hills and distance from greens to tee boxes.

All in all, I’d highly recommend and will play if I have time and in the area in the future.

Perfect tee boxes.

Perfect fairways.

Perfect greens.

Everything was beyond our expectations.. except the foursome that drove into us twice while we were waiting for the group ahead of us to move on.. but that can't be helped I guess.

Course was in excellent shape for the time of season compared to other local courses. Always friendly and accommodating.

This golf course was tough But in excellent shape My buddy and I Accidentally played the Wrong tees making it more challenging but we couldn't overcome the change. It is atough course but it is a fun ourselves to play

Challenging greens and course.

Our golf cart ran out of gas on 16th hole.

Difficult to get through to clubhouse. Phones not working. Fortunately, the drink cart came by and they had a number to call. Otherwise, could have been along wait on a hot day.
