Atkins Golf Club
In 2020, the Atkins family, which owned the Stone Creek Golf Club and is an area real estate developer, gifted the University of Illinois over 300 acres of real estate, which included the golf course. “It’s a top-flight public golf course now,” Price says. The course has PGA professionals who provide instruction and individualized lessons. A sports pub is associated with the course too. “Oskee’s Sports Pub is under new management and will be open in June,” Price adds. The name comes from Oskee-Wow-Wow, the name of the University of Illinois fight song for its athletic teams. The term was used as a cheer at the turn of the 20th century. The restaurant serves breakfast to early-morning golfers and burgers and other comfort foods for the rest of the day.

New construction happening in Stone Creek
Most homes in the neighborhood are priced between $400,000 and $800,000.

A Champaign-Urbana pizza tradition
It’s a short drive west on Windsor Road to the intersection of Philo Road, where there are a few dining options. Monical’s Pizza is a long-time popular East Central Illinois chain known for its famous thin-crust pizza cut into square pieces. Open Thursday through Sunday, Riggs Beer Company is on a farm east of the neighborhood that dates to 1874, where they use wheat they grow to make beer. There’s a large beer garden with benches. This is not a place to gather to watch the game, as there are no TVs. It’s designed to enjoy beer while talking and not being connected to devices or other media. Food at the brewery is provided by various food trucks on site. Meijer is also at the corner of Windsor and Philo Roads for groceries.

This is not a dog friendly HMO. And if you think you can enjoy a leisurely walk on the golf course after hours or off season, forget it. Everything is in support of the University's course, and not so much about the needs of the residents.
