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.

This course was the epitome of average, and in the lower end of that definition. The fairways need…read morea trimming bad. There's literal patches of weeds in the middle of the fairways. The grass here is about 1-2 inches taller than most other courses. Even the greens needed a good trim, though the greens overall weren't too bad. Just very slow due to the taller grass. Perhaps coming here on a day they've actually mowed would make a difference. There were also some nice views overlooking the lake. But I'm not there for the view...

You have to move your ball out of a bare spot and try and find a smooth track to the green. To be this late In the season and the shape of the greens they should be giving a reduced rate.

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.

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.

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.
