Rolling Hills Golf Club

Rolling Hills Golf Club, a Godfrey, Illinois institution, presents a challenge that subtly belies its unassuming nature. Carved from the rolling Midwestern landscape, the course unfolds in a classic parkland style, with mature trees lining fairways that reward strategic play over sheer power. The layout's bentgrass greens, often deceptively sloped, place a premium on precise approach shots and deft putting. Wide enough that it doesn't beat you over the head, but just narrow enough that you are always thinking. The course has a distinct Midwestern charm. Originally designed in the mid-20th century, the club has undergone sympathetic renovations over the years, preserving its original character while subtly enhancing its playability for the modern game. While not a fixture on the national stage, Rolling Hills holds a respected place within the regional golfing community, hosting various amateur events and fostering a competitive yet convivial atmosphere. The club is perhaps best known locally for its fiercely loyal membership. The club isn't particularly fussy. But if you’re a member, you’re in. These events have helped establish the club's reputation as a friendly and welcoming venue for golfers of all abilities.
