Golf in Morris

Morris is the Grundy County seat and the principal commercial and civic hub for a county shaped by the Illinois River, the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and a strong agricultural economy. The city developed along the canal route in the mid-nineteenth century and maintains strong connections to its river and waterway heritage. Nettle Creek Country Club and Nettle Creek County Club both serve a community whose golf tradition reflects the working-class and professional mix of a county-seat small city in the Illinois River valley. The community's golf culture reflects the midwestern combination of practicality and recreation, where courses are built and maintained with community investment and the straightforward purpose of providing quality sport for working families.
