• Unbelievable low prices and a great golf course.
• Rough was burned up, and hard as a rock, but hey, it was $22 so no complaints.

“Wow what a challenge. This course is a super layout, with some of the fastest greens in IL. At 7400 yards from tips, and several sets of tees, you can bite off all or more than you can chew at this track. Only one hole I didn't like and that was the par 3 #12. If you're above the whole a foot, you have no chance on this one. Kind of a goofy hole, but the other 17 are superb. Oh, and did I mention you can play all day on Mondays for $25. Best value in golf anywhere Ive ever been.”

• Outstanding layout and course condition.
• No website.

“The most solid 18 whole course In central Illinois, public or private. Demanding but fairy, very scenic, friendly staff.”

• The course is cut out of an incredibly beautiful piece of property.
• Gravel cart paths (a minor negative).

“What a gem! Virtually in the middle of nowhere, this course is cut out of a beautiful piece of land. Some of the most impressive driving holes, with elevated tee boxes, that you will find anywhere. The greens are fast and roll true. The bent grass fairways are wonderful. The price is so low that it is hard to believe. The clubhouse staff is incredibly friendly. They make you feel like you are part of the family. The course is not perfect mind you. There are a few rough spots around the edges. But those are minor issues. All in all, this is a very fun course to play and serves as a tough test of golf, especially from the blue and black tees. You have to try this one!”

• Great course-nice people.
• No course guides.

“Awesome golf course, especially for 20 dollars with cart on a Monday. At times I couldn't believe I was in central Il. Front nine is fairly easy to score on. Back nine can eat your lunch quick. Greens were well kept and held shots. This was my first time playing the course, so I was disappointed there were no yardage books available and no hole layouts on the scorecard or tee boxes. Many blind shots, so there were a lot of surprises and my sky caddie only gave yardages to the pin, (manually mapped).”

• Diamond in the rough considering the location.
• Greens could be faster.

“Hands down, the best track and value in central Illinois and I'm not comparing it to your local mini. I'm comparing to weaver ridge, coyote creek, the rail, piper glen, the den & Illinois National. Lots of elevation change and blind shots. Something new around ever corner and over every hill. From the black or blue tee. This is a very long & tight course that puts a premium on driving. Very well maintained for the price and the people in the new clubhouse are some of the nicest anywhere.”

• Cheap, difficult, and well kept.
• Very long course.

“Wide open fairways, with rolling hills and many doglegs. This is a beautiful course. You better not hit into the trees or it might not be playable though. Not much water at all, which is a good thing for those that slice. Small clubhouse, but a full bar and very reasonably priced for the quality. It is in the middle of nowhere, but is not hard to find with good directions. ”

• Beautiful setting and layout.
• Needs to have layout of course at every hole- to many blind shots.

“This was the first time I played cane creek and I was amazed that there was such a awesome course around the Springfield area very nice and challenging course two thumbs up will be back.”
