About The Legends of Champaign

The Legends of Champaign is a well-regarded public course in Champaign, Illinois, adjacent to the University of Illinois campus community. Named Nicklaus Drive — a fitting address — the course serves the large and golf-active population of students, faculty, staff, and Champaign-Urbana area residents. The layout features a parkland design with mature trees, water hazards, and strategic challenges suited for mid to low handicap players. As a course serving a university community, The Legends of Champaign sees significant demand during the academic year from Big Ten golfers and enthusiasts, while summer brings out the local recreational player base. The course provides above-average conditions for central Illinois and operates at pricing competitive for a college town market.
