Layout is solid- great value

Challenging layout. Early in season so course isnt in top shape but better than most in Central ILLINOIS this time of year. Greens were quick. Several tee shots especially Par 3's were tough. Some of the Greens has several tiers

Nice Course / Nice Company

Have played here several times. Course is nice and enjoyable to play. Got paired with three local golfers and had a good time. Only complaint was that the course was a bit soggy due to recent rain. Doesn't seem to drain that well so I'd be cautious when conditions are really wet. Otherwise, strongly recommend. Also, staff was super friendly.

One of best in town

One of the best courses in town. Some areas were under construction which wasn’t too big of a deal.

Good challenge

Played in May when very wet and was OK. When dry now, it is more enjoyable and in great condition. Only minor issue was some tee boxes were a bit dry making teeing a challenge but solved by moving around to find some softer ground. Clubhouse bar was well appointed on the liquior side, even with a bottle of Silver Oak Cabernet ion the shelf. Will return to play again.

Nice course. Fast greens

Compared to the courses at home, the greens were like lightning! It was fun and challenging. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was a little slow on the front, due to a twosome that was having a VERY Rough day.

Very tough course in very good condition.

My only issue with the course was the green setup. Many pins were placed in unfair locations given how fast the green speed was. For example, on one hole, I had an uphill putt which ended up just short of the hole and the ball rolled backwards all the way off the green. When putting and chipping to the hole on several other holes, the ball rolled slowly past the hole and ended up off the green.

Best Public Course in Area

This course never disappoints. Even after a weekend of scattered thunderstorms the course remained in excellent condition. Very tough pin locations this weekend.

Don’t expect your hotdeal to be honored.

Show up for my 11 o clock tee time for two that was already paid for. 80 bucks after fees. The kid at the desk tells me we only paid the rate for 9, walking. I show him the receipt showing that I paid for two, 18 holes, cart included. End up getting scammed out of another 24 bucks. At that point I had no other choice other than try and get my money back from golfnow, or just pay and suck it up. Won’t ever be coming back. Definitely not worth the money or hassle to deal with, just go play the rail or one of the city courses.
