Turtle Run Golf Club — Restaurant in Danville

The course & new carts are 5 stars. We had a Saturday am tee time on a day they had a 1pm shotgun event that sat, so last tee time was 8 am. We hit town after a 30 mile drive & get a phone call from the course, saying we can't play due to overnight rain. Mentioned they were calling us about 15-20 minutes before our tee time, was told the best they could do was send us rain checks, which they did that day via e mail. That Wednesday, weather was great so we booked another tee time to use our rain checks. Here's where it gets weird. I had booked our original time on line & when I saw an option to save 20% by paying then, I went ahead & paid, so it ended up $37/man instead of $44. We arrive Wednesday, I go in to check us in, give him the rainchecks, & he says, "that'll be $8. I showed him the rain check, & asked him why it wasn't good for the greens fees. He said he couldn't get it to come out even, so I owed $8. Turns out, it's not a rain check but a credit. .only good for the amount you originally paid, & since I didn't pay at time of booking the 2nd round, I didn't get the discount. So for it to be a true "rain check" I would have told them to refund my credit card, so I could pay again when I re- booked & get the discount. To his credit, Mike (Head pro?) greeted us when we were done to explain things....we talked a for a bit about why we had to pay additional when we had rain checks, & he stood firm that he thought their policy was fair. I'll leave it to the reader to decide, but if you get rained out.....😁 Again, the course is great, always in great shape & we've always had a great experience here (2-3 time a year) & I'd still reccomend...

Area residents are lucky to have this course. Every year I play it it’s in slightly better shape than the year before. Course has a lot of elevation changes which is different than many other central Illinois courses. Greens are well kept and have some tricky undulations which keep it challenging. Staff in pro shop are friendly and will learn your name if you are out there often. A few negatives are that fairway bunkers at times are not manicured as well as green side bunkers, but bunkers are supposed to be a hazard. Some cart paths are rough but not a bid deal. One other negative is that the architect Jim Spears stuck to “the perfect par rotation” of 4-5-4-3-4-5-4-3-4, makes you wonder when you play the course if there was a better routing possible. Maybe that’s the reason #9 is a...

I knew I would be playing by myself this morning, so I requested the first teatime and was told that it was at 7:30. I thought that that seemed kind of late but whatever. I arrived at seven and beat the young lady who was opening up the pro shop but just by a little bit. Between that time and 730 there were about five different people that came in off. So, I guess if you come early enough, you don’t need a teatime. No complaints though really because there was only one twosome and the rest were singles and they played quickly as I never saw them again. The course is in very good condition which is always my number one wish. Quite a few strategically placed bunkers and last two sets of teas make it fairly...
