St. Elmo, IL --> Eagle Point/Lake Ellie

[CEValkyrie]

I had an absolute blast playing this course. It is located on an awesome piece of property. Nice lake with some awesome views. I believe this piece of property is better than any other in Illinois. You have to see it to believe it. Unreal! This course could be a championship calibur destination course. I will go back and play it anyway.

I'm usually not a big fan of short birdie types of courses but this one is fun as heck. There was not 1 hole over 335ft. Though short you have to make some great shots and putts to get birdies. There is some awesome elevation with may pins sitting 30 feet below or above you. Many holes play in the woods.  I left that course saying man that hole was fun.

I'll pick my favorite holes on this course.
#4. 260ft. The tee pad sits atop a cliff about 40ft above the pin. Think West Park cliff shot on Arod Steroids. There is a gap in the trees you have to hit to get to the basket. Right in front of the treeline is a wide/deep disc eating creek.
#14 205ft. You throw from an elevated tee in the woods across to another elvated green. Behind the pin is a view of the lake. What a tricky birdie to get! If you go deep you are in the lake.
#2. 255ft. The pin sits 25ft below you with a major road to the left (OB). A pine tree splits the fairway so you can go left of right. The natural fairway runs downwards to the pin.
#16. 333ft.  throwing from the top of the damn. The pin is at the bottom of the hill. Trees and schule on the right. Deep of the pin is a creek and damn wall opening. FUN!

Looking forward to playing this course this weekend . I've heard nothing but good things about it.

[CEValkyrie]

Have fun Tom! Wish I could go with.

FYI

The dog from the house is friendly. It followed us around  for a few holes then went back home.

I'm not sure what the bugs are like down there but i'd bring some bug spray just in case. It's a wooded area with a lake.

Hole 1 tee pad is right off the parking lot. I believe there is a map and score card at the board.
