Rating 70.9

Wolf Hollow Golf Club originally opened in 1928 as Lena Golf Club. The course tumbles across northwest Illinois' gently rolling hills, incorporating quite a few elevation changes into the layout. The golf course has a true risk-reward design that will thoroughly test your shot-making abilities. With proper course management and a bit of luck, there are several birdie opportunities to be had. Measuring in at just over 6,400 yards from the back tees, the course manages to give you a few lengthy holes but it will also put your short-game skills to the test. The 16th is one of Wolf Hollow Golf Club's most intimidating holes because this par 4 has trouble everywhere. A creek and tall grasses guard the left of the fairway and the small green requires a nearly perfect approach shot.

Great find

Traveling to Galena, Illinois my husband and I stopped along the way to try out a new golf course and what a treat!

The course is in great shape. The staff was very friendly. It’s a play again course.

Always fun and peaceful

Nothing like a quiet place to play golf without being pushed, for the most part. Pace of play was slow but if you have the time it is a beautiful layout. Back nine are the most challenging and Hole 16 and 17 are always the most difficult.

Improvements noted

We played our first round of the season over the weekend and were pleasantly surprised by the course conditions. They have been working hard on improving the entire course and it’s very noticeable. The forward tees especially have been upgraded on almost every hole and they’re well groomed. The improved areas are still growing in on several greens and some fairway spot are still under repair but overall in great shape for mid spring. Can’t wait to come back again

One of our favorites!

Due to the hills you need a spotter to make sure the group ahead is clear! The bell works good on the one hole.
