Best Golf Courses in Illinois

When people think of Illinois, the city of Chicago immediately comes to mind. While the inner city does have some exciting tourist attractions, the hustle and bustle of the city may not be for everyone. In fact, when many people go on vacation, they just want to relax and enjoy a hobby.

This makes for an amazing golfing vacation, and Pleasant Hill Motel is in the middle of it all! We will go over some of the fan favorite golf courses surrounding Lockport.
