Village Links Of Glen Ellyn, Nine Hole
Village Links of Glen Ellyn's first Eighteen Hole Course opened for play in July 1967. The course was designed by David Gill. A third nine holes, dubbed the Link-Up Nine, was designed by David Gill and opened for play in July 1975. The Link-Up nine operated as a stand alone 9-hole course in 1975 and 1976, with an entrance on Lambert Road. In 1977 the Link-Up Nine was combined with the original back nine to form a new Village Links 18-hole course. The original front nine became the 9-hole course.
The Nine Hole Course has three water hazards and open fairways. The greens are large, well manicured, and protected by bunkers.
Par for the course is 36. From the back tees the course plays to 3,303 yards. From the foward tees the course plays to 2,744 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 2, a par-5 that plays to 520 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 4, a par-3 that plays to 172 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 2, the 520 yard par-5 challenge is the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole at Village Links of Glen Ellyn's Nine Hole Course is # 4, the 172 yard par-3.
