Shagbark Golf and Country Club is the perfect place for golfing. The owner is friendly, and the service is excellent. This golf course has great prices as well, because the 9 holes match is $18. The owner told us that we could use the pull carts at no extra cost, and they even offer a discount for high school golf players. The golf course is well maintained, quiet, and clean. I recommend golfing here if you live in the Iroquois County area.

The course is very well kept and challenging to play. I was in the area for a couple months and played there many times. However the owner is very rude and almost seems as though he doesn’t want the business.

The least he could have done was give me a phone call before I drove the 12 miles to get there. He has no customer service skills and this was not the first time I had conflicts with him. Tells me one thing on the phone and then I get there and he is…

I was at this clubhouse for an anniversary party and it was my first time visiting. I was very impressed at how prepared the staff was to ensure the guests had a great time. The appetizers they spread out were delicious and weren't the "same old thing". I would highly recommend the place for a small party or gathering. It is a somewhat small clubhouse, but it definitely provides all you could ask for to make your event great and memorable.

Don't know why anyone would give this course a bad review! I played here every summer from 1965-1975 during my teenage years (including when it still had sand greens!), and it was instrumental in helping me develop a love for the game. Yes, it's a small course with flat fairways and rustic conditions, but you can't expect Pebble Beach amenities from a Green Acres environment!! The people are going to move slower, be more friendly, and have more occasion for idle conversation here because this is rural Americana and not the rude Chicago 'burbs. If you want faster play or watered fairways, head…
