COYOTE RUN GOLF COURSE AND RESTAURANT

The prairie winds whip across this challenging public layout south of Chicago, where elevated tees and water hazards on seven holes demand precision over power. The back nine's risk-reward par-5s showcase clever routing through natural wetlands and mature oak groves that frame generous fairways. What sets this track apart is its commitment to firm, fast conditions that reward strategic play—a rarity among Illinois publics where maintenance often favors the casual golfer.
