Crab Orchard Golf Club is an 18 hole semi private golf course that is an enjoyable place to play no matter your skill level or age. The par 70 course boasts water on nine holes, large oak trees throughout, and lush fairways of Myers Zoysia and Westwood Bermuda. Bentgrass greens allow for year-round play for the avid golfer. The golf course plays dramatically different depending on which of the 5 tees that are chosen. The average player can have fun playing from the middle and forward tees, but the golf course becomes much more demanding from the Championship markers.
A driving range and practice green are available to the public, and private lessons can be scheduled with a PGA Professional on staff. The golf course is available for outings, and special meeting rooms are available for rent for civic groups and private parties. Conveniently located between Carbondale and Marion near IL Highway 13 and just minutes from Interstate 57, COGC is easily accessible for daily play, a weekend away, or your next outing.
