This course is in very bad shape. Every green has dead spots (some are very large and some are…read moresmall). Every single tee box looked like it hadn't had any sort of maintenance all summer long to say the least. In fact the whole course looked that way. The fairways are comparable to the rough. Fairway bunkers are full of weeds and the sand is rock hard. You could walk in some bunkers and not leave a footprint. It is sad to see this course in this shape.

This was probably the most miserable golfing experience I have ever had, and I have been playing…read moregolf for over 40 years. Whoever schedules tee times needs to find another job. I'm convinced the tee times were set about four minutes apart. There were 3 foursomes playing in front of 2 twosomes, and at least 3-4 backed up groups sat on the tees between 15-30 minutes on every hole. It started terribly disorganized, as we showed up for our tee time, and there were people standing everywhere. We told the staff our tee time and asked who was going in what order. They said, "I don't know. Just go whenever you want." To make it even worse, the course was in horrible shape. I will never be back. A total waste of my time and money.

I played here for the first time, Memorial Day weekend. It was rainy and cold, so I'm taking that…read moreinto account. 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.

This course is a worthy adversary for a lower handicapper. 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.

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...

Grounds were in pretty good shape! Open all year round, and a hassle free driving range for practice before the game. There is this guy who lives in a house just off the 15th hole on the orange tees that plays dream-theatre-like opera/metal at full volume, so it's a tad distracting, but otherwise an awesome and slightly challenging course. Greens are very hilly, and tee boxes are kept looking well. The place needs a few more port-o-potty's, but all in all, a good experience!
