About Woodlands Golf Club

Woodlands Golf Club is a public course set along Harris Lane in Alton, Illinois, a historic river city perched on the bluffs above the Mississippi River just north of St. Louis. The course takes advantage of Alton's dramatic topography — one of the most distinctive landscapes in Illinois — with a wooded, hilly layout that leverages the natural bluffs and tree cover to create an engaging and memorable round. Alton's position on the Great River Road and its history as a significant Civil War and Lewis & Clark heritage site makes it a destination for visitors, and Woodlands Golf Club serves both local regulars and traveling golfers exploring the Mississippi River corridor. The wooded setting provides shade and natural beauty, with elevation changes that add variety rarely found in flat southern Illinois. Green fees are very reasonable by any standard, reflecting the affordable pricing typical of the St. Louis Metro East market. Tee times are generally accessible without significant advance booking.

History

Woodlands Golf Club was developed to take advantage of Alton's distinctive Mississippi River bluff terrain, providing a public course unlike the flat prairie layouts common elsewhere in southern Illinois. Alton's long history as a river trading hub and its dramatic geography along the Mississippi have shaped both the city's character and the course's unique wooded, hilly routing.

Mississippi River bluff scenery enthusiasts and Metro East golfers seeking a hilly, wooded alternative to the flat prairie courses dominating southern Illinois.
