As a lifelong area resident, I will say that Lena Golf Club Wolf Hollow is the most beautiful and visually challenging course in the area...quite possibly in Northern Illinois. There are numerous risk/reward opportunities for all skill levels. Greens,Fairways and rough are always in tip-top shape,and the Pro is a most helpful and great with instruction...keep up the great work!
My wife and I played this course (June 2014) and loved it. We are new to the sport and it has wide fairways but very fast greens. The scenery is fantastic and I really enjoyed the par 3 with the water (9 I think?) and the par 3 17. In the middle of nowhere, Lena is a beautiful town and the golf course reflects that. Great for beginners and those not seeking a tour card.
