About Shambolee Golf Course

Shambolee Golf Course is a scenic public nine-hole course situated along the Sangamon River near Petersburg, Illinois, in the heart of Lincoln country. The course offers a peaceful, unhurried round amid natural Illinois river bottom terrain with mature trees, gentle topography, and the relaxed character of central Illinois small-town golf. Petersburg is a historic community near New Salem State Historic Site and Lincoln's New Salem, so Shambolee frequently welcomes tourists exploring the region who want to squeeze in a round. The nine-hole format makes it ideal for quick loops or for those who prefer a lighter commitment. Green fees are very modest, and the atmosphere is classically Midwestern — friendly, unpretentious, and welcoming to all.
