Very nice layout of the course. Challenging but fun to play. Going back for sure.


Shambolee
Good value, good course. Good mix of longer and shorter holes.
Very pleased
We played in just over 3 hours. The course was in very good shape. Some of the tees were rough and most of the traps were unplayable, but the greens were excellent and the fairways in really good shape for as little rain as of late. Definitely play again.
NICE LONG COURSE
BUNKERS ARE NOT TOUCHED HERE AT ALL NEEDS FIXED ASAP
Fun course for the money
This is a very fun course to play with a nice layout. The clubhouse is not fancy, but the staff is great and the food is excellent, particularly the hamburgers and tenderloins.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nice course with great value. The setting is rolling with vistas of prairie grass and fields
Disappointing
I've grown up playing this course and many others around the Springfield area for years now. I recently heard that a new owner took over that has a turf management degree. Well, all I have to say is turf management degree my butt. The course looked pretty flawless under the old owner (very well cared for greens, fairways, etc.). I'm pretty shocked at how many dead spots and weeds were on the greens especially with all the rain we've had this year!. There wasn't a single green that was green or with no dead spots. Multiple times I had to put over these insanely large dead spots or move my ball a club length just to have a fair opportunity to make a putt. I definitely will not being going back to this course this season
Fun course
Considering the time of year in the Midwest, Shambolee is in good shape and will undoubtedly improve very soon. It's a fun layout with a nice little clubhouse and VERY nice staff and owner. Makes for a fun and very affordable day of golf, and we routinely play Shambolee several times over the season.
Thumbs Up to Shambolee and January Golf in Central Illinois
Shambolee was open for business in mid January, and I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. Our group looks forward to a return trip in the spring, after the winter storm debris has been cleared and the greens and bunkers have been serviced.
Very Windy
Nice layout but sometimes a bit difficult finding the next hole, only on 2 of them...It was extremely windy but we did ok with the course. Only one real water hazard. A few bunkers but nothing that can't be avoided if you play well. The greens were in very good condition, as was the course. The greens are also elevated and rolling. We enjoyed them. A few areas where you can lose the ball and not find it. We would play this course again. The folks in the clubhouse were very friendly and helpful and the food was very good.
Really rough
This course is in really bad shape partly due to aeration and fertilizer application but also had very little existing turf on the fairways.
Literally a Cow Pasture
Terrible. I can understand plugging the greens and giving them the opportunity to heal - but at least "sweep" the plugs off the greens. The fairways were barren and in fact I started to purposefully hit to the rough to get a better lie. Don't waste your money.
Very friendly staff
The staff at the course were very friendly and helpful.
great course
Sand Traps were torn up/under construction which is why i gave it a 4 for course conditions. It is a beautiful course! I would like to play it again. I was the first to tee off so I was done around 2.5 hrs. A few mature trees, some tall grass, and a lot of near by roads with the course contouring beautifully with them. Very friendly clubhouse.
Watch out for the geese
Good Value. Friendly Staff. Course Conditions Ok.
Good value for the price. Friendly staff as well as other golfers. Some patches on greens and bunkers do not have sand. Otherwise course conditions ok. Fairly long course but mostly wide open. Enjoyed my round.
