About Rend Lake Golf Course Restaurant & Banquet

Rend Lake Golf Course sits in the Rend Lake area of southern Illinois, near Whittington, roughly 90 miles east of St. Louis and 90 miles west of Evansville, a couple of minutes off Interstate 57 between Chicago and Memphis.

The course features large bentgrass greens averaging about 7,500 square feet, with zoysia fairways and tees. Numerous water hazards come into play, and wide, continuous cart paths run throughout. Careful landscaping gives the layout a mature, natural setting.

Practice options include a lighted driving range and practice area with five sets of tees, raised target greens and a practice bunker. The property also includes a restaurant and banquet facilities.
