Green Hills Country Club in Mount Vernon, Illinois, features bentgrass fairways and greens that require precise shot-making throughout the round. The layout incorporates several dogleg holes and elevated tee boxes that create varied sight lines and distance management decisions. Water hazards come into play on multiple holes, including a pond that guards the approach to one of the shorter par fours. The course routing alternates between open stretches and tree-lined corridors, with mature oaks and maples framing several fairways. Bunkering is strategic rather than penal, with most greens protected by moderate sand traps positioned to catch errant approach shots. The practice facility includes a driving range with target greens and a short game area for bunker and putting work. The clubhouse provides dining and event space for members and guests.
