Rivals is an awesome course with quite a few unique features.

It has the feel of being on an 18 hole course, because of how well spread out it is.

And it's a course worth playing just for the views alone, with the Kankakee River as a backdrop.

It's also a course that dries out freakishly fast, because the whole course slopes downhill toward the Kankakee River.

Rivals has both long and short concrete tee pads as well.

Highly recommend, and a must play if you are in the area.

The best 9 hole course Iv'e ever played. This place has it all. Both long and short tees, with the shorts being new concrete pads. Longs are gravel at the moment, but will also be concrete in Spring 2 ... show more ›

The best 9 hole course Iv'e ever played. This place has it all. Both long and short tees, with the shorts being new concrete pads. Longs are gravel at the moment, but will also be concrete in Spring 2018. Never really that crowded and plays big for a 9 hole course.

It stays freakishly dry there after heavy rains too, because the whole course slopes slightly downward towards the Kankakee River.. Play it once and you'll be hooked.


The course itself is located just off 102 between Wilmington and a town called Ritchie. Take Rivals Road until it dead ends into a park by the Kankakee River and your there.

There's a gate to keep campers out during the winter months, but the course itself is open year round. Highly recommended.
