Golf in Edwardsville

Edwardsville is Madison County's seat and one of the Metro East's most desirable communities, home to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a thriving arts and dining district that draws visitors from across the St. Louis region. Founded in 1812 and one of Illinois's oldest incorporated cities, Edwardsville has maintained historic architecture while absorbing substantial residential and commercial growth. The university presence gives the city a younger demographic and cultural energy that distinguishes it from the more industrial communities to the west. Three golf courses serve the city — from the American Legion's civic course to the private atmosphere of Sunset Hills Country Club.
