You cannot play golf on this course. It is like playing on concrete Yes the greens are in pretty good shape but otherwise you cannot get under the ball and you have to just skirt the ball along with your club to get anywhere very difficult to play. My advice is to shut it down for a year and get it into shape. It was not a fun experience. Yes everyone was very friendly everything else is great but it is not fun playing there.

GREAT COURSE and I belive home to one of the greatest holes out there. I love the 4th hole. where if you make a tidey 150 yard shot to just the right part of the fairway you are rewarded a chance to fling out of the forest to a beatiful giant green. I've played here 3 times so out of a total of 6 attempts I have managed this feat one time. I'll be back to try again. I feel bad I didn't leave a review the first time I played this place, cause it's kinda the reason I've come back (as I live about 2 hours away) I was in the middle of relocating from Denver just driving through, no thought of golf. I'd stayed in town cause the thought Effingham was just the funniest name any way... I called up asking if you rented clubs and the gentelman I spoke told to come on in and he'd find me something to play with. I soon got up there and very polite older guy had a pieced together set waiting for me. Wouldn't take anything for the use of, however insisted I have a great round. I did the best my skill set would allow. Two thing stick out to me about that day 1 that forth hold and 2 It was the first time I'd ever seen a turtle in the wild. (I'm a from the city in the high desert). Anyway this goofy lil course has lived in my heart since! Oh and if you find a Wilson in the water on #2 it MINE!

Friendly staff. Best pricing in Effingham. Only 9 holes which is a bummer because it is a fun course. The greens are a bit more challenging than I'd like but practice makes perfect. The downside to renting a cart is that a lot of the course is cart path only, even on dry summer days. Great course for good players and a good course for average to low tier players. Their driving range is great as well.

Pleasantly surprised after passing through area and had my sticks in the car. Not much trouble on the course, plays pretty short even from the tips. Course is well maintained, greens and fairways are in good shape. Obvious owners take pride in their business.

Had a nice time playing this course while in town for business. Though it was only 95°out it was fun to walk it. Lots of water. Several holes are real challenging. Will definitely be back. Great rates and staff as well.
