Wolf Creek is known for great greens (I concur). I like it well enough but it’s not fancy, Archived Message Posted by PapaDels on March 4, 2025, 9:50:11, in reply to "Anyone hit any of these courses downstate - Wolf Creek, Indian Creek, The Oaks at Rivers Edge..." just a solid country course. The Oaks at Rivers Edge used to be the Pontiac Elks CC. It was semi-private and was starting to go downhill. The layout is a lot of fun and we played it every year until conditioning suffered. I understand the new owners are bringing it up to snuff, and I would gladly start playing it again. Between Wolf Creek and The Oaks, the latter is the better layout. Never played Indian Creek.

I'm going to have to go to a meeting in that general area and would like to take the afternoon to hit a few holes. Message Thread: Anyone hit any of these courses downstate - Wolf Creek, Indian Creek, The Oaks at Rivers Edge... - Tuscy March 4, 2025, 8:30:55 Shagbark is a good learning course. Very short, no rough, no sand with postage stamp sized greens. - HoseB March 4, 2025, 15:05:47 That reminds me... how is that course in Tuscola doing? - uofi1998 March 4, 2025, 9:56:00 No. Forsythe bought it and it's gone to hell. At least, relative to what it once was. - Tuscy March 4, 2025, 10:02:08 That sucks. I remember when it opened back in the 90s. - uofi1998 March 4, 2025, 15:13:21 Played it last summer and was surprised what poor condition the greens were in* - illini222 March 4, 2025, 15:11:17 Wolf Creek is known for great greens (I concur).
