Scovill Golf Club

Named the top 100 women-friendly courses in the United States by Golf for Women, Scovill Golf Club is the most visited Decatur Park District facility by out-of-town golfers. Sometimes called the shot-maker's course, golfers will enjoy the manicured fairways surrounded by natural plantings on Decatur's only Audubon sanctioned course. Originally designed by Tom Bendelow, Scovill was redesigned in 1991 by nationally renowned architect, Dick Nugent. The “new” Scovill Golf Club retained the hilly, tree-lined fairways and enhanced its playability by adding undulating greens protected by grass faced bunkers and mounds. This target style golf course will test your composure as triple bogeys are as easy to come by as birdies and eagles.
