2nd time I've played here. One of the nicer courses that I've played on and also had the best chip shot of my life here today. 31 yard chip in with a sand. Thanks guys for the memories.

Great course, struggling a little with some weeds on some greens but they should get that under control. Tees and fairways are very nice.

I recently moved to the area and played in a league at Acorns this year. Love the course and the people. The course is interesting with a variety of different holes. Greens are nice and the ball rolls pretty true on putts. Fairways are good for the most part with a few rough spots, but that is to be expected with the little amount of rain we have had since spring. Much like other courses in the area course management is a premium. It's not always driver off the tee. The food is pretty good and I have never had anything bad off the menu. It is really a nice course at a reasonable price.

Played this course for the first time today. Wasn't sure what to expect off the beaten path but I was pleasantly surprised. The clubhouse and restaurant is excellent both in service and food. The course is very well maintained, the layout is challenging but fair. There are some picturesque holes as well. This isn't some converted corn field. It has several elevation changes. Water too.

Are we rented be party room for approximately 100 people and had an excellent experience. From planning, through execution the staff was fantastic to work with. The room was sent exactly how we needed the food was fantastic and the patio made the event extra special. It provided extra space for our guests to mingle and just chat with each other and a beautiful outdoor setting with a fantastic view of the course.

This is in my top five courses for the area now. I live in collinsville and will be continuing to druve the 45 minutes to play! Check it out, i think this place gets slept on because its close to annbriar. 40 bucks for 18! I was suprised the quality i got for the 40!

Great course for an awesome price. Great food and service. The tee boxes are a 9/10 and the fairways are a 10/10. Greens were slower than I would like, but they were still in awesome shape. Not the longest course, but it makes up with some across water challenges. Will be playing here more in the future.
