Seven holes around a fishing lake in rural Illinois
Seven holes around a fishing lake in rural Illinois. That's not a typo. Ramsey Lake plays as a legitimate par-35 layout, compact enough to walk in under two hours. The routing loops the water, so expect a few blind shots and some quirky angles that bigger courses would never attempt. Green fees hover around pocket change, and you won't find a cart path because there's barely a cart. Locals treat it like a park that happens to have flags. Show up with a Sunday bag and low expectations for amenities. Leave with a story about the weirdest round you've played all year.
