The Woodlands Golf Club & Banquet Facility - Alton, Illinois

Wanted to rent their venue space for my wedding. Called 15 months in advance to try and tour/book. Was told they don't allow booking that far out and to wait until about 6 months to the date I want and call then. I spent weeks on their pricing page, decided on what worked best for us. Tried emailing 3 separate time with no response. Finally get Barbra on the phone, and she was incredibly rude. Their website says the rent the barn for ceremonies only for $1200. But don't let you book until last minute in case they potentially rent out to someone who wants the whole party room as well. They falsely advertised for something they don't offer. The owner swore he'd call me back with some sort of resolution by the next day. It's been about a week with no call. Terrible business ethic.

First time playing there but definitely not the last! This course is challenging and fun with quite a few water hazards but overall I enjoy the course. Course employees were friendly and helpful! If you haven't played here, I would recommend giving it a try!

It crazy to me that I have just discovered this place after golfing in the area for 2 years . Fantastic layout, fun course! Price is right here for what you get, greens are in good shape , and run true. Alton has the best public courses around! I will be coming back very soon , and can't wait to see the course in spring time with some lush greenery . Heads up though , if you haven't been , you will be forced to make some good shots , or lose alot of balls!

Course was in pretty good shape for early Nov. The tee boxes need some work but the rest of the course was totally fine and playable.

Overall the layout is challenging for the 15-25 handicap player. Lots of space so you're not losing a ton of balls on the front, but the back side is a little tighter. Greens are a bit small on some holes. If I was ranking the Alton courses it would probably be a distant second behind Spencer T, but ahead of Rolling Hills and the other tracks like cloverleaf and rock springs

Course was in good shape.

The Saint Louis, Metro Senior Golf Association played there and had a great rate of $28!

Be aware that they changed the order of play some soul years ago and some GPS systems have still not caught up to the new setting.

Also, some of the signage on the course is inadequate and it’s easy to get lost between a few holes.

Nice putting green

Trying not to let how bad I played bias my review. Lol.

Really nice course with an interesting layout that has been in great shape all year and is a fair price. For that I would give it 5 stars.
Pace of play has been horrible the past few times. People seem to do what they want once they're out of sight from the clubhouse. I voiced these issues to the manager, we had a nice conversation and I trust him when he says he will fix it.
I'll give it another try and hope that the issues have been resolved. I will update my review accordingly.
To the idiots who think they can play as a group of 5,6,7- you are ruining everyone else's day and your mother is disappointed in you.
