Hello from Central Illinois

Canton for me. I go to Pekin often. I use to hit balls at Lick Creek.

How is Lick Creek ?

I was looking for suggestions on courses to play in Peoria and Bloomington areas. I seen Lick Creek come up as one of the higher rated course in the area.

[Bflynn23]

Lick Creek is in pretty nice shape. Pretty hard, fast greens, narrow fairways. They just redid the tee boxes, fairways, and green 2-3 years ago and went to bent grass. Prices are pretty good too. I think somewhere like $30-40 (greens fee and single 18 hole cart) for non pekin residents. I would recommend the course.

Grew up across the River from Quincy, town called Canton. Bought my last set of clubs from Nan's Golf World back in 94 or 95.
Went to Pekin for work a couple years back, first time in a long time I was in a bar and it wasn't a cardinals bar. Took me a few minutes to figure out why the Cards game wasn't on and why they had no intention of changing the channel!
I currently live in METRO STL, or rather, the Il side of st louis.

Hi Jamie, I actually live just outside canton. It is a small world!

[G10_Jamie]

I am getting married back in Canton in less than a month.

I live out near the lake area. Where are you getting married?

No, I'm smarter than that. I root for a team that actually has won the world series in my lifetime! The Cardinals.

Heck. Where's the fun in rooting for a team that actually wins a World Series?

gotta root for the Cubs. They last won in 1908!

[HiMyNameIsMichelle]

I hope you guys are all cub fans!

White Sox all the way

I grew up in that insignificant parcel of Illinois known as "Not Chicago." I am very familiar with the Peoria area.

Haha, I just tell everyone I'm from Chicago, it's easier. Then if they care to know more, I say the suburbs of Chicago where everything is about an hour away.

Anyone here play the Palmer course in Bloomington, The Den at Fox Creek.
Just curious what others think of the course ?

I played it recently, I started off with 3 pars on the first 4 holes and then I got caught in the "Fox Trap" [holes 5,6,7]

Howdy from Chicago. I was just downstate at Heritage Bluffs recently.

LOL, I suppose if your from Chicago, Joliet area feels like downstate.

But really, look at the map Joliet is not in Central IL.

Eh, anything south of Naperville is downstate for me.
