Golf in Sun River Terrace

Sun River Terrace is a small Kankakee County community along the Kankakee River where the waterway's corridor creates natural scenery and a recreational context for a modest residential settlement. The community functions as a quiet residential enclave on the river's bank, and Shamrock Golf Course — with its Irish-American naming — serves a working-class community in a part of the Kankakee valley where the river and its preserved corridor are the primary natural amenities. 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.
