APPLE CREEK GOLF CLUB

The rolling hills of southern Illinois create natural amphitheaters for golf, and this public track maximizes every elevation change with fairways that tumble through hardwood corridors and across creeks that actually matter. The par-4 7th drops 60 feet from tee to green, demanding nothing but a smooth swing and trust in gravity, while the closing stretch tests your short game against undulating greens protected by mature oaks. You'll walk off knowing you've played honest midwestern golf where course management trumps pure power.
