CRESTWICKE COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling prairie terrain thirty minutes south of Peoria demands precision over power, with elevation changes that fool even single-digit handicappers into club selection mistakes. Native fescue and strategically placed water hazards punish wayward drives, while the bentgrass greens run true but fast, especially when afternoon winds pick up across this former farmland. Members rave about the risk-reward par-5 finishing hole, where a carry over wetlands can set up eagle putts for those brave enough to take it on.
