Golf in Atlanta

Atlanta sits along Route 66 in Logan County, a central Illinois prairie town that has leaned into its Mother Road heritage while serving the agricultural community that has defined the surrounding landscape for a century and a half. The community lies roughly midway between Bloomington to the northeast and Springfield to the south, positioning it in the corridor that connects McLean County's Twin Cities metro with the state capital. Golf here is a small-town affair — North Greens Golf Course offers recreational golf for residents of Atlanta and the county's dispersed farm townships without the competition of a larger-city market. The Route 66 Museum and the Palms Grill Café have helped Atlanta rebuild identity around its roadway history, drawing visitors who extend the town's reach beyond its modest population base.
