About Acorns Golf Links

This public track in Waterloo punches well above its weight class, earning a solid 4.5-star rating from over 250 golfers who've discovered what locals have known for years. The course sits in rolling Illinois countryside that provides natural elevation changes and strategic interest without any architectural pretense – it's honest, straightforward golf that rewards good shots and punishes poor ones fairly. What sets this place apart is the walking-friendly layout and the unpretentious atmosphere that's becoming harder to find. You won't get caught behind slow play from riders taking unnecessary cart paths, and the routing flows naturally across the property without forced carries or gimmicky holes. At this price point in the St. Louis metro area, it's the kind of course you'll want to play regularly rather than just once for the experience.
