Golf in Urbana

Urbana is the twin city to Champaign and the location of the University of Illinois' flagship campus, research institutions, and medical complex. The city's identity is more campus-focused than the commercially oriented Champaign, with a significant portion of Urbana's built environment directly tied to U of I operations. Atkins Golf Club at the University of Illinois and Urbana Country Club together provide both university-affiliated and private club options within city limits, with Atkins serving the campus community and the 18-hole Urbana Country Club offering a traditional private experience for the professional and faculty population. The Champaign-Urbana corridor's flat terrain gives Urbana's courses an open, prairie character shaped by the same glacial lake-plain geology that defines all of east-central Illinois.
