Always Love To Visit Lick Creek
I haven’t been in the area for golf in years, but I always enjoy playing at Lick Creek…maybe not very well, but it’s fun and definitely challenging.
I Love Lick
Lick Creek is my favorite course in central IL. This round was made even more memorable when I aced number 12, 118 yds with a 9 iron. It was the second hole in one of my life, the first coming 31 years ago. Shout out to the staff, who will coordinate the making of a plaque to commemorate my second best shot of a lifetime!
Awesome course to play!
Only thing bad is the amount of bugs everywhere. Bring your bug spray! But in all awesome course
Lick Love
Always a challenge, always fun! Bunker rebuilds are outstanding!
A Lot of Love for Lick
All the bunkers are rebuilt and some eliminated. Well done! The greens are still a little bumpy from prior aeration, but still roll nice for this early in the season. Looking forward to many more rounds in 2024 at my favorite central IL course.
What a challenge
Found this gem in GolfNow. Had a little time after a drive into town and made a tee time. Played 18 by myself in 2.5 hours. What a gem. This course is challenging!
Front nine is tight and drives are not for the weak! It was like hitting into a tunnel on some and around curves on others. Very cool layout. Bring some balls. Both kinds.
Greens were true and held well. On the downhill par 5 w a road at the bottom don’t hit 3 wood. Just sayin
Mid iron is the play! (:
Lick Creek under construction
56 dollars for a course that is under construction is a joke. It is probably my fault as I assume it was posted somewhere that the greens had recently been airrated and half the bunkers and areas around bunkers were not playable.
Should Not be a Top-Rated Course
Don't get me wrong this is a good course. I found it on Golfers Choice Top Courses, and it has no business being so high on that list. It was a good value course for my $40. Pace of play was dreadful, which isn't necessarily the courses fault. Don't let that list fool you like it did me.
Lots of hills
The course is challenging for a bogey golfer. It was fun to play a different layout with all the elevations, but it was difficult. Putting was not easy either. Lost a few balls but not as many as I thought I would! Fairways were in pretty good shape. They are working on replacing sand traps so once that's done, it will be nice. Our round took almost 5 hours as it plays long.
