About Rock Spring Golf Course

Rock Spring Golf Course in Alton occupies one of the most scenically dramatic settings in all of Illinois, set amid the limestone bluffs and wooded ravines of the Mississippi River valley at Rock Springs Drive in Alton. The Mississippi River bluff terrain gives Alton-area courses a distinctly different character from the flat agricultural landscape that dominates most of Illinois — here, genuine elevation, forested hillsides, and river valley panoramas create a memorable golfing experience. Alton's location across from St. Louis, Missouri, places it firmly in the bi-state metro golf market, and Rock Spring attracts Missouri golfers seeking the unique bluff terrain experience unavailable on the flat Missouri side. The course is a genuine destination for golfers who appreciate topographically dramatic golf courses.

History

Rock Spring Golf Course takes full advantage of Alton's exceptional geography at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, where limestone bluffs rise dramatically above the river valleys. Alton has a rich history — as an Underground Railroad hub, home of Robert Wadlow (the world's tallest person), and a key river town — and its golf course shares in that dramatic landscape heritage. The course has attracted golfers from across the bi-state region who seek terrain-driven golf that Illinois rarely offers.

Golfers seeking Mississippi River bluff terrain and a visually dramatic, topographically challenging round unlike anywhere else in Illinois.
