The Morris CC<\/a> is off I-80 at the Morris exit 60 miles west of Chicago on the north side of the Illinois River with its Nettle Creek track open to public play on the weekends only.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Creek<\/a> course has a wide open, prairie\/links feel to it as it moves over slightly rolling topography. There’s patches of tall prairie grasses throughout bordering the landing zones, six ponds, 35 sand traps, and generous, undulating and contoured green complexes. There’s tees from 5,059 yards to 6,562 yards off the back tees, the white tees play to 6,129 yards, 68.8\/118, course\/slope ratings, designed by Buzz Didier.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
