A nice little course up in Godfrey. Played in the afternoon midweek, paid less than 15 bucks for 18 with a cart. Greens were in very good shape considering how they are in the rest of the area right now. Not too many ball marks or burnt up areas. Fairways were in decent shape, and the rough was pretty straightforward to play out of, played very fair all around. Layout-wise, the front 9 benefit a longer hitter, lots of space to go hard with driver. Groves of trees separate most of the fairways from each other, so be prepared to play some low safety shots if you’re a little wild off the tee. The back 9, however, I didn’t really care for. There’s two hard left doglegs that just seemed a little cutesy, they were easy to play with an iron off the tee, I just thought the design was lame on the first hole with it, and then the second was enough to annoy me into ranting about it. Assume it’s due to a lack of space on the back side, which happens, I understand, just wasn’t my cup of tea. Other than that, a pleasant little course. May be back if I can snag another cheap tee time. As an added benefit, looked like they had a nice big driving range, and more than enough space to warm up on the practice green. Can’t attest to the food and beverage situation in the clubhouse, but assume it’s on the same level as any other course around.

I am trying to plan our first golf event for the place where I work. It was recommended to try Rolling Hills Golf Course. I met with Marv, the superintendent. He was very helpful, shared some good insight. We are looking to host our event in July and I think it will be successful.
