Gem course around lake 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 11, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course well-maintained weekly and orange paint to show rough area . Beautiful area surrounding the lake and mixed of wooded and open.

Cons:

Tee pad is turf and in the long run, it might worn out. I understand it's cheaper and smart at the beginning. Hopefully money raised enough to install concrete .

Other Thoughts:

Overall it's excellent course for seasonal disc golfer. Not beginner friendly course.

Hole 1- going into wood to basket ( narrow tunnel )
Hole 2- throw going out of tunnel out to open .
Hole 3- throw open then 2nd throw going into wood .
Hole 4- heavy wood and need fudge into basket
Hole 5- open but basket is on left side into wood
Hole 6, dodge thru wood
Hole 7- tough but throw dogleg left little bit then basket is on right near lake
Hole 8- dogleg left acute! 180 feet . Need 120 feet before could turn left otherwise trouble !
Hole 9- throw across water 250 feet sort . Then throw 2nd toward narrow line into wood.
Hole 10- throw straight line then dogleg right . 40 feet away from lake .
Hole 11- throw across small part of lake to dodge the big tree then 2nd throw go sort of dogleg left .
Hole 12- short hole but surrounding lake
Hole 13, dogleg left
Hole 14 straight ahead but once if it's windy , choose disc wisely
Hole 15 dogleg right then basket on left.
Hole 16- if pin A then dogleg right then straight. But if pin A then straight then left .
Hole 17- throw straight under tree then throw 2nd dogleg right.
Hole 18- throw straight then 2nd throw will go dogleg left.
It's a fun course.

Excellent Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 16, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Pretty new and only 30 minutes away from me so wanted to check it out and was impressed. Best course I've been on (granted I've haven't been on a lot of course, roughly 15, but still this leaps and bound above others, looked like something you see PDGA tournaments on.) Big parking lot, sign w/ map and even score cards/pencils. Tee boxes are astro-turf, they have fairways and roughs, most holes are in the woods (or start or end in the woods). You are near the lake a lot of the time. Well-designed, very nice, very well maintained course.

Cons:

The woods are pretty challenging so probably not the best course for beginners. The astro-turf doesn't bug me but my buddies wished their was concrete. It appears the turf was refurbished form a field (most of the turf had a random white line across it) which to me, is smart and economical.

Other Thoughts:

It appears whoever designed this had a lot of knowledge. Plus, I feel on a lot courses they have to design it as part of an already established park, with this one since it's out in a country they had free reign w/ the layout which was nice. Highly recommended and will definitely frequent. This is the best course I'd played on Central IL.
