Very good course

Loved the course setup and friendly staff. Greens were pretty good except marked up because lots of divots that didn't get fixed by players. Not the staffs fault, we as players need to do better at repairing our ball marks. I'm from Texas and the course reminded me of home.

Best Course For The Money

Course is always in good condition except for the bunkers which I’m finding is the same all over southern il. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Course can play easy or hard depends on which set of tees you want. Hole 16 is a tough tough hole. If your hitting driver well it’s an easy par 4 but if your off line by 15 yards either direction your looking at bogey at best.

Nice greens

Weather has been near 100 degrees with no rain for. Couple weeks, so the course is suffering along with every other blade of grass in the area, but the greens are in exceptionally good condition under the current circumstances. Fun and challenging course, with a couple very narrow fairways
