Wolf Hollow Golf Club originally opened in 1928 as Lena Golf Club. The course tumbles across northwest Illinois' gently rolling hills, incorporating quite a few elevation changes into the layout. The golf course has a true risk-reward design that will thoroughly test your shot-making abilities. With proper course management and a bit of luck, there are several birdie opportunities to be had. Measuring in at just over 6,400 yards from the back tees, the course manages to give you a few lengthy holes but it will also put your short-game skills to the test. The 16th is one of Wolf Hollow Golf Club's most intimidating holes because this par 4 has trouble everywhere. A creek and tall grasses guard the left of the fairway and the small green requires a nearly perfect approach shot.

Challenging layout on several holes where shot placement is important for scoring well. Course is getable but errant shots are often punished with a lost ball and score can balloon in a hurry. Greens are almost always in good shape and play fair. Great value for the money.

A Gem of a Course

My husband and I frequently drive 50 minutes to play this course. It is lady-friendly but still challenging.

Always a great course to play.

This is one of our favorite course in our area to play. This course is always in top shape. We arrived early and we were told we could get out 30 minutes early. Went to the tee box and a foursome at the tee told us to go ahead of them because we were a twosome. On holes eight another foursome let us play through. No one was ahead of them so we could play quickly without having to wait for anyone. We appreciated playing through. Will definitely book this course again. Highly recommended.
