Course Design

Golden Age architecture by Langford and Moreau

Built in 1927 by renowned designers William B. Langford and Theodore Moreau, the course transforms dense forest into a series of captivating holes with elusive, undulating targets. This pedigree places it among notable classic courses in the Midwest.

Greens Quality

Satin-smooth, fast, and challenging greens

The course is known for its vexingly swift and smooth greens, considered some of the best surfaces south of I-80. These greens serve as the primary challenge, with minimal bunkers and water hazards to distract from precise putting.

Setting and Value

Scenic riverside course with exceptional value

Situated on the banks of the Kankakee River, the course offers a scenic and tranquil setting. It delivers a high-quality golf experience at prices notably lower than premier courses, making it a rare gem appreciated by repeat visitors.
