Piper Glen Golf Club

Piper Glen is an interesting layout, but is very difficult to play for first timers, with lots of blind shots. The greens and fairways were in decent shape, but most of the bunkers have no sand in them, so you have to drop your ball and play no closer to the hole. LAME! The people working here were very friendly, but I just can't recommend a course that doesn't have sand in over half the bunkers.

The new owners are doing a great job with the course. When they get all the bunkers done it will be really nice. When the greens are fast it’s great track.

This course is a great track that had been abused for years the new owners took over and everything is coming back to its former glory. They have committed to rebuilding all the sand traps this year and fixing the cart paths look forward to playing the scores for many years to come

Bunkers still need work but looks like they are trying

My husband and I went to play this course today as it is highly rated in the state of Illinois. We were extremely disappointed to find that nothing had been mowed except the greens. The tee boxes were long and tee markers not lined up to direct golfers down the fairway. The fairways were not mowed as well and one fairway was completely re-seeded (12). The rough was not even and extremely long just off the fairway. The bunkers looked like they had not had any maintence in several years. All full of dirt and mud, weeds and large clumps of grass growing in them. We had no indication before playing today that the course was in such disrepair.

We could definitely see the courses potential for being highly rated. Hopefully soon they get an owner that will pay for the upkeep.

I've enjoyed Piper Glen golf course for over 15 years and always considered it a very beautiful course and layout.Last year, or the year before,the course was neglected to the point of only watered tees and greens-everything else was dry and yellow.It seemed only a matter of time before the course was doomed to fail-like many courses have lately.But,lo-and-behold,Piper Glen was as green as Springtime in one of the hottest stretches of summer,without rain,we've had in a long time.The course was in great shape-the fairways green,the greens nicely manicured and the pace of play perfect.Kudos to management in reinvigorating this gem back to it's natural beauty.

This course was in very poor condition. The sand traps were listed as "ground under repair". The staff was not friendly and I did not find the course very interesting. I was disappointed because the course was listed in the 7th edition of Zagat's America's Top Golf Courses.

Piper Glen has made huge improvement over the last 2 years under new management and new ownership. This time in 2015 the course was in a shambles thanks to previous ownership, 2 years later "The Glen" is back.

This round of golf was very disappointing. The course other than the greens was in terrible shape. The sand traps were considered ground under repair. I have always considered this course to be overrated and after playing it yesterday, my feelings were justified.

This course was very challenging but badly in need of maintenance. Most of the sand traps were terrible. No sand or standing water. Many of the fairways had a high percentage of dead grass.

Traps are poor but new owner this week has cap improvement on the traps as number one priority so the press says.

This is a great track in Springfield Illinois probably the best layout with the exception of the bunkers which I read in the paper today they're redoing this course is an absolute Gem and we look forward to playing it again. It can be frustrating if your not accurate with your shots but who wants a boring golf course.

Course was a lot of fun, staff was very very nice and helpful, the clubhouse was beautiful and good and drinks were great!

Solid course in great condition. Lost a lot of balls in bounds which was weird but had a great day

Course is in ok shape. Greens and fairways needed watered. Many of the sand traps lack sand and not maintained. Tables, chairs and coolers left on course from outing the day before.

I appreciate the discounts we receive with Golfnow
