The thrill of seeing a birdie never goes away.” Make Memories on Memorable Golf Courses Courses in the company portfolio in addition to those mentioned above include Legends Golf Course, a 9-hole executive course in Champaign, Illinois and the Danville Country Club in Danville, Illinois, which opened in 1928.
