Return to the roots of golf at Shepherd’s Crook, the Zion Park District owned and operated layout that offers a passage back to golf’s heritage.

Opened in August, 1999 Shepherd’s Crook has earned rave reviews as a course that is both challenging and exciting to play. Designed by Keith Foster, who has designed some of the most interesting courses built in the last 10 years, is a links-style course that creates a feeling of playing Ireland’s Ballybunion or Waterville courses. Shepherd’s Crook’s design reflects the golden era of golf course architecture of the 1920′s and 30′s with bentgrass fairways, tees, and greens.
