Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 2, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Rock Spring is an awesome, relatively secluded park to play at. This place offers a wide variety of shots with a fantastic use of land and elevation changes. You must be sure to capitalize on the early birdie opportunities on the front 9, as these opportunities are not as fruitful on the back. As typical with southern Illinois courses, this park is also loaded full of huge old trees. This course is extremely fun and can be shot on if you have all of your ducks in a row.

Additional Pros:
-Concrete tee pads
-multiple pads
-multiple basket locations
-trash cans
-restroom
-pavilion
-practice basket
-local events board
-Near Fast Eddies Bonair

Cons:

-Some odd walks
-muddy trails

Other Thoughts:

Very neat course.. A job well done.. I wish i could make it out to play more often

Uphill 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a very easy course to find, the holes are all laid out well, and there are signs at every tee. A few of the pro tee pad's were missing so you had to shot from the grass, but otherwise layed out really well.
Course was completely empty and we were the only ones there.

Cons:

Most of the holes are shooting up hill, and there are several roads running through the course.
Parking is minimal.

Other Thoughts:

Would only play it again if I lived closer to it, definitely not worth the 45 minute drive.

Pros:

good course with good usage of hills. realy sweet hole placements and challenging fairways.

Cons:

trees laying down all over the fairways and course from storm some holes hard to find. alternate tees are impossible to find, really needs to have more directions to tees and to the start itself.
