Benton Country Club sits on the western edge of Benton, Illinois, where the land rolls gently into a series of short, tree-lined fairways. The course was built in the 1920s on former farmland and still carries traces of that flat, open ground in its wider landing areas. Mature oaks and maples line several holes, creating narrow chutes on the back side that demand controlled shot placement. Two small ponds sit inside the property, one guarding the left side of the fifth green and another cutting across the approach to the eighth. The greens are bentgrass, kept at moderate speed, and slope subtly from back to front on most holes. A modest clubhouse, updated in the 1990s, overlooks the first tee and contains a small pro shop and grill. The property is bordered on two sides by county roads, so traffic noise is occasional but present. Maintenance crews mow the rough to a consistent height that still allows recovery shots for most players.
