Description

Spencer T. Olin - Regulation Course is a championship-level design by Arnold Palmer, known for its expansive fairways, strategic bunkers, and fast greens. The layout blends open prairie-style holes with tighter, wooded sections. Water hazards create risk-reward decisions throughout the round. It's one of southern Illinois' premier public golf destinations.

Recently got back into golf this year, I was able to play this course multiple times this year at various times and days. The staff was excellent, friendly and very accommodating when a few minutes late to a tee time, although you should always be on time life happens. The course was in great condition from the summer time and up to late November, with great fairways, well kept greens, and decent Tee Box. If I would change anything it would be adding a GPS system inside the cart to stay competitive with other similar courses like Stonewolf, Far Oaks, and Gateway National. Would pick this course over many other local courses based on price point, difficulty, views, and overall enjoyment.

Great course. Challenging and always in good shape. Club Golf Pro and rest of staff are great. Seeing the course dog follow the grounds keeper around in the mornings is great!

Played there recently in a work outing. Marshall was extremely rude pressuring many in the outing to speed up play and skip holes due to another outing scheduled later in the afternoon. Not player friendly. With many other quality courses in the area, I won’t go back.

5 stars We recently hosted our company outing at this golf course, and it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the staff treated us with top-tier hospitality—flexible, accommodating, and genuinely attentive to every detail we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure the experience was seamless and enjoyable for our entire group. Despite a week of heavy rain, the course was in phenomenal shape. The grounds crew clearly takes great pride in their work, and it showed—greens were smooth, fairways were clean, and drainage was excellent. The course itself is not only beautiful but also extremely fun to play. It’s scenic, well-designed, and offers a great mix of challenge and enjoyment for all skill levels. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue, and we’ll absolutely be back for future events. Highly recommended!

For it being middle of November it was a great place to play, if you can keep it in the fairway. Outside of that, you're not finding your balls under all of the leafs, but hey, that's your fault. The staff is friendly, challenging course, not for the beginner. Mostly dead already, but the dancefloors were all in great shape.
