The 18-hole "Old Course" (also known as the Columbia Course) at Columbia Golf Club in Columbia, Illinois, is a classic, player-friendly layout established in 1969 and designed by Al Linkogel. Spanning 125 acres of gently rolling terrain, it plays to a par 71 from the back tees at 5,970 yards (rating 67.6, slope 113), with large bentgrass greens, generous fairways, and water hazards (creeks and lakes) in play on 10 holes. A mix of tree-lined doglegs, elevation changes, and open areas provides variety and challenge for all skill levels, making it an enjoyable, forgiving option for a relaxed round.
