Golf in Savoy

Savoy is a Champaign County community immediately south of Champaign that has grown substantially as the University of Illinois metropolitan area expanded southward. The village provides housing for university faculty, graduate students, and professionals drawn to Champaign-Urbana's research, technology, and healthcare sectors who prefer a quieter residential setting than central Champaign. University of Illinois athletic facilities extend into Savoy's northern edge — including Atkins Golf Club and the University of Illinois Golf Course — giving the community a close functional relationship with the campus that defines the broader metro. These courses rank among the most distinguished university golf facilities in the Big Ten.
