Okawville sits in Washington County, deep in the agricultural heartland of southern Illinois — a region of flat-to-gently-rolling terrain, grain elevators on the horizon, and the kind of small-town civic pride that keeps a municipal golf course going for generations. Roland Barkau Municipal GC is exactly that kind of course: a community asset named, as many beloved small-town layouts are, to honor a local figure rather than a developer's marketing brief.
Municipal courses in this part of Illinois tend to play honest and unpretentious, shaped by the land rather than by dramatic architectural ambition. The par-71 configuration suggests at least one hole departs from a straightforward par-72 setup — likely a shorter routing that rewards placement and course management over raw distance. Fairways in this region typically run through open, windswept ground, where the prairie air makes club selection a genuine variable on any given day.
For visitors, this is grassroots Midwestern golf at its most authentic — affordable, walkable, and genuinely woven into the fabric of the community it serves.
