About Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course
Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course sits in the small community of Okawville in southern Illinois, about 41 miles east of St. Louis. The 18-hole layout offers multiple sets of tees, allowing players of differing abilities to find a comfortable distance.
The two nines contrast with one another. The front nine follows the natural contours of the land, winding along the bends of Plum Creek between tree-lined fairways, while the back nine opens up into a links-style stretch.
