Golf in Red Bud

Red Bud is a Randolph County community in the interior of southern Illinois, away from the Mississippi bluffs that define the county's western edge. The city sits in agricultural upland terrain, surrounded by the mixed farming and woodland landscape typical of Randolph County's inland townships. North County Country Club serves local golfers and those from the surrounding communities, its name indicating its position in the northern part of the county relative to the larger communities closer to the river. Red Bud maintains a small-city character with a stable local economy tied to agriculture and the manufacturing operations that serve the regional market.
