Kankakee Elks

Tom Doak commented as follows in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses: “A modest club in a blue-collar town, the Elks course is an audacious design, chock full of Langford’s bold greens and abrupt fairway hazards in spite of a fairly low-lying site. Unfortunately, as with many Langford designs, the wide scale of his fairways and features has been compromised by over-planting, so that key parts of the strategy are no longer available for play.”
