Work needed

The course is in need of a lot of work. The fairways were good in spots but showed brown spots and actually bare in others. It was the same for the Greens especially the fringe. Paying $43 for a round of 18 on a course that was at best fair. The course layout was good which is what made the course fair.

Course needs work

While the tees were in good condition many of the greens and fringe areas were browning and bare of grass. Pin placements were mostly challenging but fair to most skill levels. Bu they were slightly inconsistent in that some greens ran while others were slow due the condition of the grass, The fairways were for the most part were in good condition some holes also showed signs of browning and bare spots.

Not worth it

The greens and tee boxes were in horrible shape. We had just received a bunch of rain the past week and everything was still as hard as a rock! The cart paths are almost unusable because they beat you to death with pot holes and huge cracks.

Not bad ...

First time playing the University of Illinois Boy Course. Nothing really wrong with the course, just nothing outstanding about the course. I was expecting more of a course with the U of I name attached. The layout was flat and very straight forward. The greens were very small with not much slope. Again, nothing was wrong with the course but it was more like a muni than a Uni.

University of Illinois Blue Course

Excellent course for beginners and mid handicappers as well. The course was in excellent shape. There are 4 sets of tees to choose from so everyone can play where they are most comfortable. The greens rolled true. They weren't crazy fast but they do have some contours to make it challenging. Overall great value and we will be back again.

Better than I expected

I have not played this course before partly because of the so-so ratings. I don't see what the fuss is about though. The course was in good shape and well-manicured. The greens were a bit small but that is not uncommon in the Midwest, and I think the price is a little high. My biggest issue was finding my ball with the fall leaves on the ground. I would play again.
