Golf Course Information
Description
Unique to Central Illinois, Pine Hills golf course has been described as a Canyon Course complete with bluffs, valleys, hills and hundreds of trees. It is a challenge to both the beginner and the seasoned golfer and is one of the oldest and most scenic golf courses in the area.
The course began as Ottawa Country Club. It came to it's South Ottawa location in exchange for an original Naplate site purchased by Libby-Ownens-Ford in the 1920's.
Pine Hills golf course was designed by Thomas Bendelow and opened in 1924. It is well known for it's natural scenic beauty. Bendelow was the designer of many famous golf courses including Medinah and Olympia Fields in Illinois.
Mike "Pro" Sipula took over the pro shop in 1930 and when the club was troubled by the Depression and World War II he bought it with two partners at auction in 1943. In 1944, Sipula bought out his partners and renamed it Pine Hills Golf Club because of it's beauty and multitude of trees.
The original Club House was situated on a bluff 80 feet above the first fairway. It is the only change in the original design with today's number one tee and Club House at the bottom of the bluff. The original Club House still stands and is now a private residence.
