It’s more fun if you aim for the water tower. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 6, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Kaneland High School has nine baskets set around the football field and in an empty field between the football and baseball fields. Is a decent school course and probably does a good job at what it tries to do. The shots are short with not a ton of obstacles, but designed well enough that you are not just chucking in an open field. The baskets are in a high-visibility area, so it does double duty in exposing the students and some spectators to disc golf. The DisCatchers are very rusty but still catch well.

Cons:

So far as rating it as a course, it's not good. The tees are hard to find and for the most part are right by the previous baskets. There are three "hyzer around the fence" shots in a row (#2/3/4) and the end of the #4 fairway and start of the #5 fairway overlap. #9 (I think) is designed for you to tee between two street signs and shoot down a gravel road (which I didn't do.) It needs a mando to keep you to the right and in the grass. The design brings you too close to roads/fences to be considered safe; they could have used more of the open area of the field and avoided these conflicts.

Other Thoughts:

When school is in session and/or athletic events are going on, this course is unplayable.

In the middle of hole #8 is a huge water tower. Discs make a really cool "DONG" sound when they hit the base of the water tower; playing #8 as an object hole is an option. Just sayin'.
