Great/Tough Course

A few blind shots, fast greens and some length make this a tougher than most course. Some holes are wide open and a couple are narrow off of the tee. I like a challenge.

Tough as usual

Real good amenities course is always in great shape. Always tough, but very well laid out. Just a public course, but it's great. Only problem I saw the greens have the ick.

Beautiful day golfing Lick Creek. We even got off 30 minutes early so an extra plus! Followed a Sunday morning outing an never had any hold ups. Course was in good condition, fun to play with some elevations and quite a few hilly holes. Be careful to stay in the fairway as lots of deep ravines off the rough. Greens were in decent shape too. Played in about 3 1/2 hours. Staff was super nice and helpful. Will definitely play again soon!

Great Course and worth the drive

We were looking for a course in the Peoria area to play golf and I happened across Lick Creek. Will definitely be playing here again in the future. Fairways were perfect, greens were in good shape and somewhat challenging.
