Sandburr Run Golf & Resort

Sandburr Run Golf and Resort plays nine holes at par 36, covering 3,047 yards. The course lies along Route 84 near the Mississippi River in northwest Illinois, where the Driftless Area terrain brings rolling hills and bluffs uncommon in the rest of the state. A driving range is available for practice.

Thomson is a small town in Carroll County, far from any major metro area. Economy pricing keeps the resort accessible, and the nine-hole format works well for a quick round. Palisades Golf Course and Valley Oaks Golf Course are among the closest alternatives. The Driftless Area scenery along the Mississippi bluffs gives this part of Illinois a rugged, hilly character that contrasts sharply with the flat prairie interior.
