Golf in Greenview

Greenview is a small Menard County community north of Springfield in Lincoln country — the future president lived at New Salem, the reconstructed village south of Petersburg in this same county. Menard County is predominantly agricultural, positioned between the Sangamon River to the south and the Illinois River country to the northwest. Greenview functions as a small residential and commercial node within a county where most residents travel to Springfield for larger services. Country Hills Golf Course gives the community a local recreational anchor, offering golf in a setting with more topographic variation than the flat central Illinois prairie suggests.
