Having lived all over the Country I have been lucky enough to be able to play some truly…read morespectacular Golf Courses that are pristine and extremely expensive. I didn't even rate some of those courses as 5 Stars for various reasons whether it be the price, staff, or course conditions. Indian Springs is a wonderful course in southern Illinois that presents unexpected challenges and forces a player to use all 14 clubs in their bag. It isn't a 5 Star Course based on Bent Grass, hosting a PGA event or towering fairway bunkers but rather due to the prices, owners, and use of the terrain implemented into their design. This is a wonderful course that has various leagues, hosts tournaments, and treats its guests like friends. Most importantly (to me) is the fact that the owners are beyond friendly and extremely hospitable. I love visiting Indian Springs because she makes me feel like family and is genuinely excited to see me and always thanks me for my Military Service. I won't be playing here for a few years as I move to England but I like forward to coming back next time I'm in Southern Illinois visiting.

Friendly pro shop…read more Two of us played through a couple of foursomes on the front. they were friendly and accommodating The reason for a four star instead of five was two groups that did not play the front teed off in front of us on the back. they were extremely slow and did not offer for us to play through. I think the pro shop should keep an eye out for groups going off the back, and/or tell every group that checks in not to go off the back.

Most courses this time of year have leaves everywhere and you have a hard time finding your ball. The leaves were all finely mulched and I did not lose a ball in 18 holes.

At $35 weekend rate (18 with a cart), this is by far the best deal I've found around Effingham. The Bermuda grass fairways were excellent, minus a few wet spots from the rain. The greens were smooth and rolled true. The course layout can definitely be a tough one, but with several tee boxes to choose from, it can fit anyone's game. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of the clubhouse. It's not much, but its acceptable. They have a driving range and full kitchen for lunch. We will definitely be playing Angus when we come in town from now on.

Obviously scrapped together from local…read morefarm ground, the design takes good advantage of the terrain and it has visual appeal for the casual player. It's not overly long and combines the usual Central Illinois geologic features (creeks, valleys, rolling hills, woods) in challenging ways. The problem is that this is a tight course. You play along and through a lot of tight openings. If you're a scratch golfer you'll have relatively easy time with it, but if not, bring a lot of balls and a lot of patience. If you want to lounge in a luxurious club house with a thick steak afterward, you'll need to go elsewhere.
