Garlic Fest II Where Garlic is King

Market Street Inn is ready to greet Spring! With trees and shrubs sprouting green buds through the darkness of a disappearing winter, we are looking forward to taking up our favorite outdoor pastimes again.

One, of course, if golf. Here in Tayorville, we look forward to cruising the course and enjoying some fresh air while playing at the nearby Piper Glen. The Piper Glen golf course is just under 40 miles from Market Street, a quick drive through the bucolic fields around our historic Springfield IL lodging. Piper Glen is one of the premier public golf courses in Illinois, having a four and a half star rating. Golf Digest magazine has described them as a having “good value, service and conditions”. Piper Glen is one of the top 200 courses in North America.

According to their web site, Piper Glen is “a 7,005 yard championship layout consisting of immaculate bent grass tees, fairways, and greens. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards, combined with the gently rolling countryside and existing wooded areas, make for a challenging round of golf for players of all abilities. But, the thing you’ll likely remember most about our course are the greens. Undulating and always an adventure, our greens add just one more unique element to your experience at Piper Glen Golf Club.” Their signature hole is #9, which was named one of the most challenging holes in Illinois by Golf Illinois Magazine.
