A large portion of the course is bounded by Sandy Creek where many species of
colorful birds and wild life abound, including wild turkeys, deer and many
others native to this area. The roadway, known as Alley Lane, through the course
was a part of the old Golconda Road, the stagecoach line between Illinois and
Tennessee and a part of the Cherokee Indian Trail of Tears on their march to
Oklahoma Territory in 1838. The old iron bridge at #15 Tee-box was originally
installed on this same road in 1898 and carried all traffic across Sandy Creek
until about 1950, then abandoned until it was narrowed and removed to the course.
Rental golf carts are stored in the basement of the modern, barn type, 4000
square foot clubhouse sealed inside with beautiful Cherry Bark Oak lumber cut
from the golf course. The Club House is available for events such as meetings,
weddings, etc. and catering is available from Twin Oaks Steak House in the
immediate area.
