Last played here in 2000. As others have said, but I was hoping it would be different today, Sept 3, 2023, the course is in very bad shape. Played the black tees. Pro shop said the course was neglected by management for a few years and the owner is trying to correct that now. They also said this year a water main broke so they were unable to water greens and the grass burned out. Pro shop also said the owner is trying to start fixing the issues. Guess I’ll check back next year.
Pictures are in order:

Hate a to see a golf course so neglected. I can’t imagine it will be in business much longer. The course design is fine but the condition is almost unplayable. And definitely not for someone looking to take it even a little serious. Photos as an example, but there was very little to like about this course. We won’t be back for a few years. Maybe they can turn it around…

My husband and I came here, based on how the course looked online. It looks beautiful;however, this was by far the most under maintained course we’ve played this year. We’ve played 4 other courses in the last two weeks. On this course, we couldn’t find balls on the fairway, greens were overgrown as well, no difference between rough, green, or fairway in several places. Yardage markers were knocked down on several holes or missing. Also, we got lost and played the last 3 holes, due to the signs being extremely limited or not visible. The score card also lacks a course map. Completely unplayable. Cart paths are also pretty terrible to ride on, and broken in many places. Probably will not play here in the near future.

Worst condition I've ever seen a golf course that required me to pay to play. Even the practice green was mostly weeds. Honestly though- the design and architecture is amazing. I'd bet this place used to be unbelievable. Such unique layouts for each hole. Just looks like they ran out of funding/help.
It's settled in a really nice neighborhood and it's the only golf course with any interesting structure up near edwardsville. Hopefully someone with deep pockets fixes this place up.

Easily the worst maintained course I’ve ever been on. Fairways were overgrown with piles of cut grass all over. Bunkers overgrown with weeds and the grass on the greens was both long and patchy. On top of it they close the course at 7 when it doesn’t get dark until 8:30 in the summer. You can tell the course was great at one point in the far distant past, hopefully they can get it there one day again.
