Easy access and hardly any other players so there will be zero waiting on the tee.

The course is clearly in the midst of a redesign. When we played we assumed that it must have just been turned into an 18 hole course within the past couple of months because it was WAY unfinished. The signs were nearly all wrong and without Udisc we would not have found our way. Now that I've read the DGCR reviews closely, it's been in this condition for three years or more and it seems like they have not made much if any progress.

Several holes have no teepad and one just had a stick in the ground to mark the tee. A few holes have treacherous climbs up/down big hills that is pretty much climbing up and down a small mogul run at a ski hill. There was no other way to play the hole aside from risk twisting your ankle on the worst playing surface I've ever seen.

Tee pads: several concrete pads were put in on top of muddy slopes without much or any effort put in a stable foundation... they just thought you could throw a slab of concrete on the side of a muddy hill I guess? As expected, those tee pads are starting to slide down the hills and make teeing off that much harder because your tee pad is now a side slope.

I know they are trying to push this course to "championship" caliber, but at this stage it looks like they had a big idea and then stopped work after putting in the extra baskets and a few tees. It is just flat out unfinished now for years. There are zero lines at all many of the wooded holes. Maybe they will selectively open some lines up with a chainsaw in the future?

Has potential but course update was never finished and is all but unplayable. I will not be back to this course unless they finish the renovation. There are too many other great courses in the Peoria area to waste time playing one that has been "under construction" for 3-4 years.
