Golf in Findley

Findley is a small Shelby County community near Eagle Creek State Park, a setting that provides a level of scenic and ecological richness unusual for central Illinois golf. The park surrounds a reservoir that supports boating and fishing alongside the golf course, and the wooded terrain of the park boundary creates a more varied landscape than the open prairie that defines most of the county. Shelby County sits in the east-central Illinois agricultural interior between Decatur and Effingham. The National Golf Course at Eagle Creek takes advantage of the state park setting with a parkland layout within the park boundary.
