Rolling terrain at Port Byron gives this Illinois course its natural shape
Rolling terrain at Port Byron gives this Illinois course its natural shape. At 6,441 yards, the route uses grade changes that a flat course simply cannot provide. Slope of 115 puts this squarely in moderate territory. Enough movement to notice, not enough to dread. Walkability score of 77 places this in respectable company. Not a showcase walking course, but one where the walker is clearly not an afterthought in the operational philosophy.
