The elevation and some of the cliff throws are totally awesome. There are 2 nice holes over water that are fantastic. This is a super hilly and wooded course.
NIce baskets and tee pads
Short and long tees

$9 to play is too high
Stinging nettles / Bull Nettles
Holes 1, 2, 18 are open and boring
Knats were bad

Could be a five star course with a little bit more work

Keep in mind this review is coming on 08/08/2016 after playing it a few times. I will update after I play the course again.This review was updated after playing Ledgetsone. I know a lot of hard work has gone into developing this course and I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. I also understand the course is not complete and is a work in progress. Saying that I want those who are visiting to understand what they are getting into when they play this course. It's open and there is a fee to play. Reviews should reflect that.

**This course is a hike!!! This is not a well manicured public park. There is some rugged terrain. I managed to get my Zuca Cart through it but this place is no joke! I probably would not use a cart again. I would highly suggest wearing pants or long socks.** I did not use a cart and it was quite a bit easier to navigate but don't underestimate the terrain.

I am not afraid of any long/tough course and prefer the toughest layouts any course has to bring on. We started off playing the long layout and switched over to the short layout.

This course will challenge the best of the best. If you cannot throw shots accurately I would not attempt to play this course. Do not bring 1st timers out here!

This park is one of the most unique I've played in nearly 350 courses. It's in a secluded area and has huge elevation, flat long open, water, tight woods, and more. At times you forget you are in Central Illinois. There are some spectacular greens and tee areas. The long layout has some epic holes.

The bright Orange Mach 5's are fantastic and much needed. Being able to locate them is a big help.

Conctrete tee pads that are plenty spacious and grippy.

There were next tee signs all over the course. They helped navigate the course. Without them it would have been a challenge.

There were some spectacular holes out there. #2 was a fantastic par 4/5 with a water carry and great elevated free. Risk/Reward. Go big or hit the layup zone?

#3 is one of the craziest hole's I've ever played. Putter shot down a super elevated hill backstopped by a river. WOW!

Overall there were a variety of holes and I threw a lot of different discs. I don't recall any holes being bad.

After playing this course the first time the grass was cut for the event and quite a bit of work was done to make it more playable.

My #1 biggest con is the ankle deep grass and thick rough in the fairway. We were really excited to play this course. Realizing how thick the grass/rough was in the fairways we decided to play the short layout 6 holes in. Looking for good shots in the fairway is not fun! Looking for discs period is not fun!

After we switched to the short layout this course became more hiking than playing disc golf. If you are playing the short layout be prepared to walk, walk, and walk some more.

The flow started off pretty good however declined after #8. The walk from #8 to #9 is long as well as the walk from #9 basket to short #10. The walk from 12 to 13 short as well and then 15 to 16 then 16 to 17. This became very frustrating.

I've been on a lot of disc golf road trips with my buddy. We discussed the course at lunch. On hole #18 we picked up our discs and walked off the course. I have never done this EVER. After looking at the green to #18 we just left. Knee deep grass everywhere around the baskets.

Even the short layout is not beginner friendly.

Be very careful. There are some steep areas, I played on a dry day. I can only imagine what it'd be like after rain.

IMO this course should not be pay to play until it's completed.

There is poison ivy in and stinging nettles. Pants or long socks are a good idea.

Massive mowing, weed whacking, and clearing of landing areas could make this course much more playable/enjoyable.

I want this course to be successful but it's going to be very difficult to draw crowds. It's so difficult and rough I don't see the recreational player base developing. Maybe I'll be wrong but the other local courses are going to be tough to compete with.

The course has a lot of potential. I am sure it will be amazing when it is complete. Lots of elevation changes. Long and short holes. Uphill and downhill. Left to right and right to left. Nothing felt repetitive. Good design and use of land.

Course is not complete yet so I will not comment on the overall all course.

DO NOT BRING A CART HERE!!! YOU WILL HATE LIFE!!!

Hopefully the grass is cut and the last few pads poured before Ledgestone in a week and a half.

Keep up the good work guys.
