About the Course
The rolling terrain of the Lamoine River Valley provides spectacular views and elevation changes, rare for this part of Illinois. Stadium features greet the golfer with beautifully sculpted mounds and carefully preserved forests of oaks, hickories and cottonwoods. The course also features Ken Killian's trademark of bunkering and creative water hazards that are sure to challenge golfers of all skill levels.
