URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Atkins Golf Club is hosting the Illinois State Amateur for the first time in 20 years.

The course will host the annual tournament for the first time since major renovations by the University of Illinois. In addition to the upgraded site, this year is the first year the winner of the tournament receives an automatic big to the US Amateur.

“We’re really excited for it,” said Chicago District Golf Association (CDGA) managing director Casey Richards. “The last time the event was held here was back in 2004, back then it was Stone Creek and pre the outstanding renovation work that has been done here so we’re really excited to see how the course tests the best players in the state.”
