University of Illinois Golf Club

I am a student at uiuc and have been playing orange and blue for 3 years now. Recently the fairways are terrible greens are terrible and they have upped their prices. $37.50 for a twilight 9 holes. Atkins is the same price and atkins is a very well kept nice course. Just terrible. Go book a tee time at atkins.

Hadn’t played here for quite a few years. Played the Orange. Was really in pretty good shape and plenty firm and bouncy. Having played there regularly as a youngster, I was excited to get back. The fella at the register must’ve had something depressing on his mind; but, it went well thereafter!

I had a frustrating experience at the U of I Golf Course. A sign clearly marked half the driving range as closed, so I used the open side without issue. Wanting to use the short game complex next, I called the clubhouse to make sure the closure didn’t apply there. An employee named Alex assured me it was open, so I bought another bucket of balls. When I got there, someone not affiliated with the course told me I couldn’t practice. Back at the clubhouse, Alex admitted he didn’t actually know it was closed. No staff member seemed to know what was going on or how to fix the issue. I asked for a…

Not even worth $10 for a round of golf there. They don’t water the course in the slightest, dead spots cover half of the fairways and greens, tee boxes are either uneven or overgrown, and the rough is either weeds or dirt

The Orange course. Great course, great condition overall. Insanely wet after nearly 3 inches of rain in the last 2 days. Water everywhere, even when it doesn't look wet in the taller grass. Greens are in excellent condition. Very soft and can hold pretty well , but screaming fast speed, even still wet from morning dew. Rough is plenty long too. Over all, bad round for me, but great course.

Well maintained. Friendly service. Nearby. The rough is not that tall this year (2025). But even when it is, that's part of the charm. I stink at golf, but I still enjoy the Orange and Blue routinely.

Well maintained, and had an enjoyable round. Staff was quick to help. Only complaint is my ball wouldn't go straight, and it kept finding the few traps that were present. However, the sand traps were very well maintained, and I consider myself an expert in that area.

well kept, well managed course - with the best hot dogs you will find in central illinois. (no joke)

I have been going to the Orange and Blue courses for the last 8 years or so. The course quality has remained the same: Greens are cut, but players do not repair divots and greens are aerated a couple times a year without warning. Fairways are fairly covered in grass but rough is spotty and unwatered. Course management has gone way downhill since Covid. There was a large bump in players over the last few years, and management has taken that as an opportunity to increase profits instead of re-investing in the course or paying any additional workers. There is a "starter" on weekends, but they d…

Open to the public. Good course. Good layout. Fairly easy(blue course). Good condition. Nothing really wrong with it. However, being a Division 1 college golf course it really should be better. Facilities are dated. Grass growing thru the cart path everywhere. Ball marks on greens not fixed and the locals should be embarrassed to do that. Greens held well and putted great though. Range is just ok. They need to visit Ole Miss and see their practice facility. Anyway, with that said I'd still play this course every day. Nothing wrong with it really. Season pass is beyond a deal. Worth the time to…

This course was in awful shape, from the tee boxes to the greens it was hard as cement. The tee boxes grass was as tall as the rough, the fairway and greens were all beat up and a bunch of dirt patches on the greens. It was an unorganized mess, as we made the turn to play the back nine, a group showed up and said they had a tee time and played in front of us, no rangers or player assistants on the course to control anything. People played extraordinarily slow, took us 5 and a half hours to play 18 holes and we were only a 2-some. No one let us play through, none of the golfers on the course ha…

The people that work at the University of Illinois golf course are the nicest people ever. I did a camp there and they really want to help you get better at the game of golf. They are super nice and extremely personable. I highly highly recommend golfing at the University of Illinois golf course and trying out there camps. It WILL be worth it.
