Moving reviews over from Yelp. This was originally published in 2017: Back in the 'Burg for an alumni event and it was held here. I've been here for a number of other college and alumni events over the years but this is the first time since establishing a Yelp account. My recollections of the place when I was in college were that they were always a little too "top shelf" for the 'Burg. Now that I'm a few decades removed from those days I recognize that they are one of the nicest places in town. Small disclaimer...I consumed a fair amount of single-malt scotch before eating so my recollectio…

8.5/10 stars Overall: What a hidden gem! Soangetaha (Swanny) Country Club sits on a beautiful piece of land overlooking Rice Lake. You feel like you're away from everything else once you pull onto the grounds. Galesburg isn't a big city but, Swanny doesn't feel like a small town CC. This place is truly special and is now on my yearly return list. Pros: 1. Good layout with each hole different than the last. Course isn't built on top of itself so you've got room in between holes. 2. Course is very well maintained. 3. Fairways were like carpet, greens were true and fast, and fringes were some of…

We just hosted the annual Kill Bogey event at Soangetaha. All of the staff pulled off a great event. This was enjoyed by many members and their guests.

Old school country club. The grounds are beautiful and tranquil. The grounds crew clearly does a great job. The main clubhouse and restaurant are in need of modernization and a face lift. It is old and stuffy. Food is fine but nothing spectacular. Staff is friendly and helpful and it appears the club has done a good job in retaining staff.

Just played Soangetaha golf course with the sand trappers and was it in great shape. It was a little wet so it played long but the fairways and greens were very good . The greens were quick and good sized . Water comes into play on a few holes and I loved playing along the lake .i can’t comment on the sand traps this time because I avoided them some how . The scenery is awesome. Standing on some of the tee boxes and just looking around made me want to be a member. Just a beautiful setting and one of my favorite courses in our tour of courses ! I feel it has a wow factor . Can’t wait to get bac…

Small Town country club with great amenities. Staff is very attentive, food is good and golf course is top notch. Pretty cheap to be a member compared to the big city. Another reason Galesburg is a nice place to call home.

Great course in wonderful shape. Older course with some new ideas to make things just a bit more challenging. Stay at the Holiday Inn Express across the interstate for a quick drive over to the course.

I played this morning with a member and found the course to be challenging. A real thinking golf course. Loved it! I will tune up my approach shot game, if I get a second chance to play the course. Excellent condition!
