Used to be fine, but now it’s just bad

There was no fairway, it was cut the same length as the rough. People that play the course have no course etiquette. It’s not worth any money unless it’s free honestly

This is the cheapest Perry Maxwell design in America. Perry Maxwell designed Medinah #3 Butler National, Southern Hills(Tulsa), Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kansas......along with many others. This little town I'm afraid is clueless of the true diamond they have in Rochelle.....Yes it isn't long, but was built to be played with hickory shafts in 1929.....enjoy stepping back in time for pennies on the dollar!

THIS IS NOT AN EXECUTIVE COURSE....it was Built in 1928/29 and hickory shafted clubs were the club of the day.......

Green cups too deep

Green cups should be 1/4" below turf. This course has them 1" plus and it leaves a little edge on hole, deflecting putts.
