Lake Erie Country Club sits on flat terrain near the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. The course features bentgrass greens and fairways that are maintained to a standard typical of small-town municipal facilities. Several holes run parallel to the river levee, creating consistent crosswinds that affect club selection on longer shots. A drainage canal crosses the property twice, requiring carries on two par-4 holes and one par-3. Mature cottonwood and silver maple trees line most fairways, narrowing landing areas and casting shadows that affect putting surfaces in late afternoon. The layout includes three dogleg holes that turn around small ponds fed by an irrigation well. Bunkers are limited to greenside locations and are filled with coarse, tan-colored sand. Cart paths are asphalt and run along the right side of each hole, keeping maintenance equipment off the playing surfaces. The course lacks a driving range but provides a practice green near the first tee.
