Pros:

Great use of terrain on this winding wooded course. You don't need a huge arm on this course to be successful. If you just play a smart game and make consistent accurate throws, you will be rewarded.

Cons:

The mud/dirt tees can be daunting, but you get used to it.

Other Thoughts:

This is my favorite course in Illinois and also the course I've played the most... nearly 100 rounds I'd say, so I might be biased.

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

My home course and love it. Nothing bad to say about it other than needing concrete tees. Its a classic and a staple in Joliet. Been playing it since 97

Cons:

Needs concrete tee pads and scum bag control.

Other Thoughts:

Hole 16 has been trimmed up finally.

One of Northern Illinois's Better Courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 26, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-great layout (minus hole 8)
-phenomenal signature holes off large hills
-great variety in holes. wooded/open, elevation/flat, short/long. it's got it all.
-oldest course in IL
-Large, majestic oaks. very nice scenery
-Designed by Steady Eddie himself

Cons:

-very few benches
-dirt tee boxes
-FEELS like the oldest course in IL
-layout on hole 8 was an oversight in design

Other Thoughts:

I absolutely LOVE this course. worth the drive for anyone wanting to get a great day of discing in. I used to say that this was the best course within a few hours, but then they put in Highland a few miles away. Still a can't miss and with all of the great courses in the area, you could easily spend a weekend in the Joliet area hitting up 5-6 different cool courses.
