Bunn at Bunn Golf Course

Bunn Golf Course is a public facility in Springfield, Illinois, designed by Roger Packard and opened in the mid-1990s. Packard, who worked extensively throughout the Midwest during this period, created a layout that serves the daily-fee market in Illinois's capital city. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of central Illinois, with routing that incorporates the region's agricultural landscape character.

The design reflects Packard's straightforward approach to public golf, emphasizing playability across skill levels while providing sufficient challenge through strategic bunkering and water hazards. The layout features several holes where water comes into play, a common element in courses built on former farmland where drainage ponds and natural low areas are integrated into the design. Mature tree plantings have developed over the decades since opening, adding definition to fairways and framing approach shots.

Bunn serves Springfield's local golfing community and visitors to the state capital, offering accessible green fees and a course that accommodates both recreational players and those seeking a more serious test. The facility operates as part of Springfield's public golf infrastructure, providing a Roger Packard design option in a region where public courses often represent the primary access point for the game. The course's location within the city limits makes it a convenient option for residents and those traveling through central Illinois.
