If you haven't played Angus Links in the new millenium, come back and check it out. The primary rough is more forgiving and fairways have been widened since the 1990s. The staff are excellent and cater to golfers. High class course that doesn't mind walk-ons, with a small town price and friendliness. This course deserves to be checked out if you are in the Lake Shelbyville area.

These people are very friendly and polite and know how to cater to golfers.

Played them all in this part of IL. For the price, challenge, beauty and staff courtesy, this course is tops.

You have to use every shot in your bag! Not every hole is drive little wedge.

Like to see greens a little quiker, but they are in very good shape.

A Challenge, but manageable. The front nine is easier than the back, but each has it nuisances. Evey hole give each golfer the opportunity to play smart (low risk) or GO FOR IT!

Customer Service

Very Good and Friendly.

The course layout and the greens. You're in the country and it's very quiet compared to courses in the Chicagoland area.

The tee boxes were being renovated when I was there in Nvember of 2003.

For a course out in the middle of nowhere this is a very nice golf course. The price is very cheap for what you get. The front nine is more of a links type course but the back nine has more trees and is very challenging. Holes 14-18 are amongt the best in the area in my opinion. The greens were in excellent shape.

Customer Service

Excellent. Very nice and friendly.

Beautiful scenery; well kept; as far as that's concerned, a nice course.

Mmm, jeez, did Robert Trent Jones lay this one out??? I'm telling ya, there were some holes that Tiger would have went "Damn, now THAT'S a hard hole!" (see #18, the #1 handicap hole; if you play there, you'll find out...) ;) Put plainly, a ridiculously difficult course for being in the middle of nowhere; I maybe wrong, but it seems like they're hoping to host a PGA event someday there, with that tough a course (not gonna happen, folks).

First of all, let me say that for a course out in the "sticks", the folks who run Angus Links have a beautiful course with gorgeous scenery, and the course to me appears well maintained. HOWEVER, this course is NOT, repeat NOT, for anyone who shoots in the 50s for 9 on an easy course; come here and you'll shoot in the 70s for 9! To be honest, I'm not a very good golfer (and neither was my partner that day), and if I would have known how difficult this course is, I would have never played it. This course, to me, is the most difficult (overall) course in the entire Eastern Illinois/Western Indiana area. Don't get me wrong, I haven't played every course in this area, but EVERY hole on the back 9 was difficult! With (seemingly) tee shots that need to be within 10-15 yards of dead center or you're in trouble, I'd say that's a bit much for the poor golfer, wouldn't you (to me, that's a bit much for a GOOD golfer...)? I didn't like the fact that they put us on the back 9 to start with anyway; piss-poor course management by the folks in the clubhouse, because as we headed to the 10th teebox, there were TWO groups just finishing 9!!! And of course, these guys had to wait behind us, because we had to wait, etc., etc., etc., and it wasn't until later that we were able to get some distance between us. They should have looked closer at the tee times of the other players and realized we were coming up on them (besides,the clubhouse people kind of looked at us funny when we came in to pay for our greens fees anyway, like the way small town folk do when they see a stranger in town for the first time). Next, the course is set up weird, so that when you finish some holes, you have NO idea where the next damn tee box is! Trying to follow the map on the back of the scorecard seemed not to help either. I think all new golfers there would appreciate better signage (are you listening, Angus Links?). In closing, don't play this course if you're a duffer. I was so pissed off that I "helicoptered" a few of my golf clubs after bad hits, and I haven't done that in years! Oh, and bring TWO dozen golf balls; I think I lost at least eight, if not more. Needless to say, that scorecard got pitched, and I refuse to ever play this course again.

Customer Service

A little bit snobbish, to me.

The course layout, and asthetics is great. You better have some course management, or you'll score high.

I play this course often, and the only thing that I would consider a weakness is the gravel cart paths if it rains.

This is a challenging course that offers a lot of different shots and challenges. The course dares you on a lot of holes, and it wins most of those. For the price, it is a great bargain.

Customer Service

They are always friendly and courteous.
