Lake of the Woods Golf Course sits within the 1,000-acre Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve in Mahomet, Illinois. The layout follows the natural contours of the Sangamon River valley, where fairways are bordered by stands of oak and hickory and punctuated by several ponds that come into play on multiple holes. A narrow creek winds across the back nine, forcing approach shots over water on at least three occasions. The course maintains bentgrass greens and Kentucky bluegrass fairways, with bunkers placed primarily to guard landing areas rather than simply to decorate the landscape. Cart paths are asphalt and run along the perimeter of most holes, keeping foot traffic off the playing surfaces. The facility also includes a driving range with both natural turf and mats, a practice green, and a modest clubhouse that houses the pro shop and snack bar. The surrounding forest preserve offers additional trails and picnic areas adjacent to the golf property, though these amenities remain separate from the course itself.
