Welcome to my reviews of golf courses I've played in Northern
Illinois.
This listing is my personal experience. To put things in
perspective, I'm a walker, usually around a 10 handicap, and not
fussy about course amenities. I like courses that offer interest,
challenge, and beauty, and hate slow play, busy courses, and
artificial hazards (i.e. OB too close to fairways, cart paths and
buildings in play, etc.). If you have info on these or other
courses that you want to add, email me at wamontgomery@att.net.
The quick listing here shows location, type, cost, and my rating.
Note that some of these munis are much cheaper if you live in the town
Rather than provide a soon to be dated scale of costs, this just
shows relative, from cheapest to the most expensive. All courses
are 18 holes unless marked otherwise.
