My playing partner got a hole in one on 12.
A stiff in the face wind had us hitting hybrids on relatively short hole, but the ball went in. We will definitely return.

I like to play different courses as we travel. I enjoy a challenge, but I'm no pro.
I chose iron horse because of good reviews, reasonable slope,, and location. Illinois is a farmers paradise , flat and somewhat featureless. The impression from the outside is manmase features in the middle of farm country. Don't be fooled. The features feel natural and provide plenty of challenge plus the course is well maintained. Try it , you'll enjoy it.

While play is slower than I am used to, it was Sunday afternoon and pushing 90 degrees so I wasn't in a big hurry. The course is interesting enough to make me think off the T instead of just bombing drivers.
Fairways are well kept. (stay out of the rough, its long , and easily hides a ball). Slopes on average speed greens are gradual and easily misread leaving many 4 to 6 footers for par.
They provide a nice practice range and lessons from Chad Johansen , inventor of a unique putting aid.
