Awesome course
The course is an excellent shape better and I've seen it before. Most definitely will go back again two play again shot really well greens are really soft Fairways nice and green
Great Golf Course
We enjoyed our day at Ironhorse! The course was in great shape and we had a great time!
Great scoring course
I hadn't played IronHorse in 5+ years & forgot how nice it is!!
We have played 2 times in a week and really love the layout, big and true rolling greens and scoreabilty of the course. I really like the diversity of the holes-- you don't just pull out a driver on all the par 4/5's-- it makes you think.
Great course to post a good round on.
Only (and I mean only) drawback were the bunkers- they definitely need attention; plenty of sand in them but also weeds & grass.
Clubhouse guy isn't overly friendly but for $21 on GN it's a steal and well worth the hour drive!!
We will be back--probably next weekend.
Course is in great shape.
Had a great day on the course and the course is looking way better then last year at this time. Live the improvements.
Summer Condition in Early Spring
I can't say enough good things about the conditions at Ironhorse for March. The greens run true; they were a little slow but they are large and personally I had at least four 3 putts. Be sure to hit enough club on approach. The course is scenic with lots of water, but if you hit straight, you won't have to deal with it. I will surely play it again. He staff is great. We felt welcome which is not always the case when we play on a GolfNow Hotdeal.
Great layout, subpar conditions
I played as a single and finished in less than 3 hours. Had to play through about 4 groups, so if my gf would have been playing then the round would have taken closer to 5. The layout is fantastic, with well designed green complexes and plenty of strategically placed hazards to gobble up your stray shots. Lots of water comes into play off the tee, and some OB as well. The greens were in nice shape, albeit somewhat slow. The fairways on the other hand were awful. Not much grass, mostly weeds. No drinks out on the course. Overall I'm happy because I only paid $13. Would play more if I lived closer.
Outstanding Course
The course is outstanding but difficult for a high handicapper. The greens were excellent and putted very true. The tees and fairawaus were terrific.
Fun golf course
Fun course to play with a lot of water hazards and hills. Friendly and helpful pro shop staff. Wash room on course could use some servicing and some patches were noted on the greens. Fairways in good condition. Very fast pace of play and great rate on Golf Now. Would like to play this course again.
Tougher than expected
Played this course for the first time and found it surprisingly tough for the slope rating. Lots of water that created visual intimidation, plenty of sand, and big greens that made for some long putts. Course was generally in good shape, but there were some bare spots on and around some greens. Pro shop and snack bar staff were friendly. No beverage cart (none needed) and restrooms on course weren't in great shape. Played as a twosome and had to let a couple singles play through but still finished in about 4 hours despite struggling on a few holes. Good value for price and we will try it again someday.
In Better Shape than Before
Played course about a year ago just after greens aeration, so experience somewhat diminished by that. Returned for a 4th of July round this year and course was in fine condition despite heavy local rains over the weekend. Pace was decent for a holiday but was probably lessened due to inclement weather. Greens and fairways were in pretty good shape. Few more rough spots on the fairways than on the greens but anything under $30 is a deal here if you can pay that.
Solid value
Interesting links style course. Greens consistent but a bit slow. Water comes into play.
Great experience
Course is in extremely good condition, and will test every club. It was windy, and made club selection, very important.
If you are traveling I -57 and have time, stop and play. It is a very nice course in excellent condition. My only negative, there was no cart person and no water on the course. Beyond that, this course is a 10+
Have not played in years and it is still a great course!
This course has always been one of my favorites.
I moved away from this area years ago was visiting and glad I chose to play here!
Love the layout...course conditions very good and loved the speed and difficulty of the greens!
Head professional and his staff very friendly and enjoyed talking to them.
Make sure you play this course if you are in the area you will be pleasantly surprised at the layout and conditions.
Very Long
The course and greens were in great condition although I found myself fixing divots at every green. The greens were pretty quick. Not the fault of the course, just people not fixing their divots along the way. The fairways were nicely kept. The course is very long with very few trees. Lots of berms and some bunkers at each fairway. A few water hazard areas but nothing insurmountable. The largest hazard is the tall grasses. Hard to find balls in it. I suggest packing a few extra balls for this course if you are not an accurate golfer. I personally like a course with more trees and a little less distance. A great course for someone who has a great long game. We only got drinks at the clubhouse but the menu was pretty nice with their offerings. Nice little bar and the clubhouse was very nicely appointed. The folks working there were very friendly and helpful.
Great course for the money.
Being a local, I have played this course a few times. Under normal conditions this course is well maintained and the staff is always friendly. Just be aware of current weather conditions. The pace of play was good until we caught up to a foursome the was playing extremely slow. This is the first time that this has happened to me, so I know that it was the exception and not the norm. Well worth the money, especially if you can catch the "hot deal".
Nice layout
Ironhorse,is in great shape. Greens rolled true. Staff awesome. Bring a range finder as yardage markers are hard to find.
Great Course
Ironhorse is the best value in Central Illinois and worth your drive. If the wind is up, and from the west, consider moving up a tee. The Par 3 hoes will test the best golfer.
The conditions are always wonderful and the greens are wonderful with many undulations. Have fun!
A cool windy day, but the course was in great condition.
The wind make this course a tough course. Three long par threes into the wind. But still a fair test for any golfer. Water comes into play also on a lot of holes. Greens were fast and ran true. I really enjoy playing here.
Wind will change how this course plays every round
Either water or tall prairie grass will come into play on every hole. Mistakes will cost you. Need to keep the ball in the fairway. Fun and challenging course that plays differently nearly every round due to wind speed and direction. Only complaint from my foursome was that the yardage is not marked well so many times it is purely a guess as to how far out you are.
