"Our granddaughter played golf here tonight. Its a really nice course and staff super friendly."

— Rodney Yoswig

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Lincoln Elks Golf Club was designed by Tom Bendelow in 1904. It is located in Lincoln, IL. Lincoln is the only town in the United States that was named for Abraham Lincoln before he became president. My road trip from Champaign to Lincoln was quite educational because I could easily spot the NOAA weather station along the IL 10 road. The WSR-88D Doppler radar stood out as it resembled a large soccer ball. For golfers, it may appear like a giant golf ball sitting on a tall tee. Regarding the golf course itself, Tom Bendelow never disappoints me. The first 6 holes are flat, easy, and great for warming up. Holes from 7 to 10 become quite interesting. Hole #11, #14, and #17 are awesome. I made a birdie on #11. Alabama is famous for Robert Trent Jones golf trail. Indiana is famous for Pete Dye golf trail. I think Illinois should market Tom Bendelow trail to golfers."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The Lincoln Elks Golf Club offers a classic, enjoyable round for golfers of all skill levels. This mature course boasts tree-lined fairways and challenging greens. While not overly long, accuracy is key, especially with the undulating terrain and strategically placed bunkers. The course also offers a good mix of hole layouts, with some demanding length and others requiring finesse. Elevation changes throughout the course add to the visual appeal and strategic play. Although a private club, non-Logan County residents can enjoy the course anytime. With its blend of history, challenge, and unique featurs the Lincoln Elks Golf Club is a hidden gem worth discovering."

— Peter Brandon

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The premium golf option for Central Illinois. Starting with the tee boxes which are in very good shape with three sets of tees. The fairways are perfectly challenging and each hole is unique. The bunkers are very well maintained and the sand is very nice. The greens are the highlight of this course with the aerated grass and the sharp edges. Finishing in the clubhouse which includes all of the essential amenities you would expect in a clubhouse with the addition of a wide range of golf gear. Overall my favorite course to play on and like to play 18 holes every time."

— John Reed
