Seventeen holes. Not a typo. Columbia runs an unusual layout that works for walking despite the oddity. The terrain stays manageable throughout, with gentle elevation changes that won't leave you winded. Green-to-tee transitions flow reasonably well, keeping your round moving without excessive detours. Public golf in southern Illinois without pretense. The walkability score reflects solid fundamentals. Nothing fancy, but the course delivers what walkers need most: a straightforward path from first tee to final green.
