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.

Quite a Gem

Shambolee Golf Course in Petersburg, IL, is a wonderful course in the heart of where Abe Lincoln lived. The course is minutes away from Lincoln's New Salem State Park. It is a beautiful and challenging 18 hole layout. The pace of play was great as I played 18 in just over three hours. Good was very inexpensive. The staff was friendly too. I will be playing this course again.

Great Value

The course is wide open which is good for beginners. Course was in very good shape and you can't beat the price. We had some slow players in front that wouldn't let us play through but not really a course issue. There was no one at the bar for almost 10 minures at the 19th hole so we left.

Super conditions and great value

This course is one of the most underrated in the area. It's always clean and well maintained. Can be a challenge but is somewhat forgiving for the average golfer. I will keep coming back and highly recommend.

Considering the heat, the course was in great condition.

The staff was very helpful from the start. The gentlemen in hte clubhouse when I paid made sure to even remind of being cautious with my daughter out on the course for her safety, course was in great shape considering the heat as of late, and the staff was great when we came in.

Great value for the price and quality of course

Fun course to play, soft receptive greens (especially for late August), challenging layout at times but plenty of birdie holes. Needs some changes to be great. First, needs yardage markers desperately, you waste too much time trying to find anything marked with a yardage. Also, the greens are soft and receptive but impossible to read due to the length of grass and lack of true breaks. The staff workers are awesome, always friendly. All in all I like this course a lot just might have to download a gps app to be able to select the right club next time.

Good deal for price

Good deal for the price. Couple of neglected bunkers
? Had signs marked ground under repair. Pace of play would
increase with visible yardage markers
