Golf in Monticello

Monticello is the Piatt County seat on the Sangamon River, a community that has cultivated a recreational identity anchored by the Robert Allerton Park estate — a 1,500-acre garden and conference center donated to the University of Illinois — and the Sangamon River's natural amenities. The city draws visitors from Champaign-Urbana and beyond, and Monticello Golf Club fits naturally into a community that has positioned itself as a small-city destination in its own right. The Sangamon corridor introduces wooded bottomland, river access, and topographic variety that distinguish Monticello from the open prairie counties surrounding it. The city's 6,000 residents support a quality of life common to communities with strong civic institutions and natural assets.
