No doubt it is wild 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Aug 6, 2019
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Long grippy teepads, new bright well catching baskets, informative tee signs.
Excellent hole design. Course elements of dense woods, meadows, elevation, water are all used exceptionally. Executive layout option availabe. Short tees on most holes.

Cons:
Slick and muddy after rain. Not beginner friendly. Punishing rough.
Other Thoughts:
Out of the Peoria area courses that are carved out of the Illinois River valley hills and woods (Northwood, McNaughton, Megiddo, and on a smaller scale ICC and Eureka), Wildlife stands atop in terms of most diverse, varied, and yes, wild terrain.
The opening 3-4 holes in the front meadow are little more than a warmup before you head deep into a landscape full of water carries, steep elevation and winding wooded tunnels. In recent years the course has been tamed with some brush removal and more stairs and bridges to make it a tournament caliber venue.
A round here should be treated as a hike so plan accordingly with sturdy shoes, water, snacks, long pants, etc.
Price of $9 is well worth it for a course of this caliber. Check it out!

Pros:
>Fantastic Design - Played Longs:
This DGC has everything, except Flatness
Needed nearly all of my Shots, in just 18 holes(!!!)
Killer Pin Placements... like death-putts, rollaways, rollback to yous, and looking all pretty just over that water carry placements
Oh yeah, 3 Holes with legit Water Carry Drives
Short and Long Concrete Teepads at most holes, that separate the course experience from a Red Level Challenge to a Blue/Gold one
Serious elevation, and steep!
Finishes with a, sorta, Top of the World Ripper
>Bright Orange Chainstars
>Helpful Bridges and Steps

Cons:
>Much of the course will be Muddy from the Thaw deep into Spring
Other Thoughts:
>Was the Peoria Open week when I had the pleasure of visiting, so Maintenance and Signage were Tiptop. Not sure if the Next Tee Signs will remain after Tourney, would make Navigation tricky without them
>First couple/few holes are nothing super fancy, but require Big Drives, and add to the overall Balance of variety that Wildlife has
>Surprisingly, not Buggy around Ponds. Lil Buggy down by 7 and 8
>The Mountain Bike Trails out there are Outstanding!!!

Pros:
This course is still changing and a work in progress.
I can't honestly believe people are wasting the time to critique a course that's STILL IN THE DESINGN PHASE
