Editor’s note: As of this magazine’s publication, golf courses in Illinois were closed until May 1 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Information may change based on the reopening of courses.

DIXON – It’s been more than a year since Timber Creek reopened its blue grass fairways and bent grass greens, and the couple running it are looking forward to keeping a tee-time tradition alive that started more than a century ago. Brenda and Rick Humphrey, owners of Humphrey Show Cattle in rural Dixon, are leasing the 18-hole, par 71 course from father-and-son Ron and Brett Keith, with an option to buy.
