Alton sits on the bluffs above the Mississippi River in southwestern Illinois, a historic river town where the landscape drops dramatically toward the water and the Missouri and Illinois shores converge. This part of the Metro East region sits just across the river from St. Louis, giving it access to one of the Midwest's busiest golf markets while retaining a distinctly local, unpretentious character. Terrain here tends to roll with the bluffs and ravines carved out over centuries by the rivers below.
The Woodlands Golf Club is the kind of course that draws its identity from its surroundings — a name that signals tree-lined corridors, natural topography, and rounds shaped more by the land than by architectural showmanship. A par 71 layout suggests some asymmetry in the routing, likely a pair of par 5s on one nine and three on the other, or a compact set of par 3s that demand real precision.
For golfers based in Metro East or visiting the greater St. Louis area, The Woodlands represents the accessible, workaday end of the regional golf spectrum — a genuine local track where regulars know every bounce and out-of-towners get an honest test of a Mississippi River bluff town course.
