In the area for a tournament…this was the only decent hotel option within a 45 minute radius. Way overpriced for the overall hotel condition, lack of amenities, and quality of food. No fridge or microwave in the room, dated carpeting and decor, and no toiletries other than bar soap were furnished in the room. The breakfast vouchers we received got us a free non-alcoholic drink (coffee was just okay), one biscuit with gravy, scrambled eggs from a powder mix, and three overcooked strips of bacon…all of which was lukewarm at best. For over $200 per night, highly disappointed. But, at least our room was clean and free of bedbugs.

Beautifuly kept golf course. Staff is five star all the way. This has become an annual event trip for our golf group. Keep up the good work OTR... Your facility is a true gem in the heart of Illinois.

Have stayed here 2x in the past. 7-8 years ago maybe. Recent trip was a tad disappointing. Stayed two nights and golfed with my son and his best man. A mini bachelor party if you will. We enjoyed ourselves for sure, but the townhome kitchen was beat up a bit (counter peeling), and the fridge door? (see picture) The grilled served its purpose and the upstairs jet tub was cool. (one jet not working) comfortable beds and pillows. Everything was clean. Very nice TV in living room.
The golf course is an excellent design imo. Both 9s provide a different type challenge. Greens are in very nice shape. They rest of the course however was not. Understanding lack of rain, and I heard they had mold in the fairways. There is nothing they can do about that, and I understand. (Well, they should redo the fairways with Zosia.) That area with the heat and sun, it has to be next to impossible to maintain Kentucky blue fairways. So, generally disappointed in the conditions, but I don't think much more could be done. I think a heads up would have been nice as the boys I think expected more of a resort golf feel.
Free breakfast was nice, but pretty cheap and was cold both mornings. The food and service at Mulligans was good, but nothing to really write home about. It's a very dated feel in there. needs some updating. Nice bartenders and reasonable pricing.
The service wasn't bad, but I got a general feeling from everyone (desk, restaurant, golf shop) that they would have rather been somewhere else.
It's early maybe (next day), but when you spend that kind of money I expect a follow up Thank you email at the least. If not a call. Something.
All in all, unless they really turn the course conditions around and update the bar and rooms, I will find somewhere else to spend that kind of money.

We camped at the RV Resort and it was very nice. Loved the pool and recreation center with ping pong, corn hole, shuffle board etc. Very clean. Ate at Mulligans Bar & Grill on-site, food was very good. Will be back again.
