University of Illinois Golf Course - Blue Course

Nestled in Savoy, just west of Champaign‑Urbana, the University of Illinois Golf Course – Blue Course is a classic 18‑hole parkland layout that challenges without overwhelming. Designed by C.W. Wagstaff and opened in 1966, this 6,579‑yard, par‑73 circuit weaves through mature trees, keeping bunkers to a strategic minimum and rewarding precise iron play on its small, undulating greens. The memorable opening hole—a 561‑yard par 5 and the course’s No. 1 handicap—sets the tone for a thoughtful round where conservatively par is earned, not given. Fairways are generous, yet the Blue Course offers scoring opportunities on two reachable par 5s under 500 yards, making it approachable for many level golfers. The Blue and Orange Courses share a driving range and putting green, with a professional staff offering lessons to sharpen your game. Inside the clubhouse, you’ll discover a pro shop stocked with Illini‑logo gear, plus a restaurant and locker rooms. Location is unbeatable for University of Illinois visitors and locals alike, with easy access in Savoy from I‑74. Book your tee time today with GolfWithBrio.
