Great golf experience

I visit the Tampa/Orlando area for a long golf weekend with old friends every winter. This course has been on my wish list for several years. Some reviews made me nervous about course conditions but I was very impressed. Tee boxes were definitely too thin/sandy, but the rest of the course was in great shape. The only rough areas we noticed on greens were on a few edges. Pin placements largely took these bad spots out of play. The course layout, at a price far below many comparable courses in the area, is worth the trip.
Water and dense trees line every hole, so bring extra balls unless you’re able to consistently keep it in the fairway.
Nothing too fancy about the pro shop, but I hit 0 shots in there.

My favorite central Illinois course!

Even after a month of daily rain, Coyote Creek was in extremely good condition. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were immaculate (with a few, understandable soft spots).
I played from the white tees and this made the course a little too short (I hesitate to ever call a course "too easy"). Blue tees might have been a better choice, but they make several holes significantly longer. Black tees would have made several holes unreachable for me...
If you haven't played C.C., give it a try!

great layout...wait for course improvements to be completed

Newman offers a very good, challenging layout (especially from the back tees). The course, however, is NOT in good playing condition at the moment. Almost all greens are being worked on and nearly half are "closed." False greens ("hit it into the circle and take credit for a two-putt") exist on 1 front nine hole and most of the back nine. Virtually every other green has "ground under repair" sections...
Call the course before booking a tee time, and wait until the conditions improve before booking.
