Golf in Percy

Percy is a small Randolph County community in the heart of southern Illinois's "Little Egypt" region, where the landscape transitions from the river bluffs to the agricultural bottomlands and timbered uplands of the county's interior. The community sits between Chester to the northwest and Sparta to the east, in terrain that carries the layered cultural geography of immigrant settlement, coal extraction, and river commerce. Southwestern Lakes Golf Course provides recreational golf in a region where such facilities serve genuinely local needs rather than tourist markets. Illinois' changing seasons create an enthusiastic golf community that maximizes every available day of good weather, sustaining the local course as a central gathering point through the compressed but celebrated Midwest golf season.
