4.00 star(s) Almost a favorite Very well laid-out course. Great use has been made of the rolling terrain to provide a variety of shots with a good amount of elevation changes. I very much enjoyed finding out what each hole had to offer. Signage is excellent; the signs are noticeable with the tee numbers in...

2.00 star(s) Totally average course Good place to take beginners. A few interesting holes (and yes, there is some elevation). Good park facilities. Not that many interesting holes; definitely a low-challenge course lacking enough obstacles on many holes. Kinda crowded on a summer weekend (which surprised me...

4.00 star(s) Great course, but potentially itchy Excellent layout of holes. -Plenty of variety- different degrees of woodedness, different kinds of elevation change, right-turning vs. left-turning, etc. -Lots of elevation usage -Fun and challenging -Markings for pro tees. -Each basket has a dash of yellow...

2.00 star(s) different, and surprisingly fun -Offers a ton of elevation, something which is almost entirely lacking from many of the other 9-holers in the region. -Pleasantly suprising how much challenge the elevation adds, given that most of the holes are very open. -Elevation used moderately well, at least...

1.50 star(s) Too much of all trees Challenging and different. -Rubber tee pads; new since last time I played (although the centers have sunk on some of them). -Can be scenic if dry; shady and green, kinda peaceful. -Tight fairways in the middle of thick forest (smaller trees densely packed) make you realize...

2.50 star(s) pretty nice urban course Decent variety among holes -Fair number of obstacles; only a couple supereasy holes -Every tee has a bench and a trash can -Next tee signs wherever there's a distance between one hole and the next -Two "el" line stations a couple blocks away make this course very...

2.50 star(s) Fine overnight spot for roadtrip Pretty good layout with moderate challenge. -Decent variety among holes with some open and some tight fairways; there's definitely fun to be had and it's a good time -Well maintained; freshly mown grass and baskets in good shape No elevation. -You need to know in...

3.50 star(s) Lots of fun, definite flaws Interesting landscape flow; course starts at top of hill with lots of elevation change holes, to a long downhill throw and a couple more elevation holes around the foot of the hill, to a bunch of flat holes in the field and around the river, then back up the hill with...

4.00 star(s) Excellent course, could use some work Outstanding course design and layout (with one glaring exception; see below). -Lots of elevation here, and utilized very well. -Plenty of variety; up and down to different degrees, multiple degrees of woodedness, varying degrees of technicality, left and...

4.50 star(s) Amazing course w/ fixable flaws Outstanding course design; truly exceptional- one of the best I've ever seen. -Tons of elevation, well taken advantage of; shots uphill & downhill (to varying degrees, too), shots across deep ravines, etc. -Good signage, including little stickers on each basket...

4.00 star(s) Fun, challenging, a little risky Excellent course layout with lots of variety- holes range from mostly open to mostly wooded with varying tightness of fairways. -Plenty of challenge but not too much for beginners. -There's not a whole lot of elevation there to work with, but what little...

4.00 star(s) A lunchtime regular Ditto all the Pros the first two reviewers said, plus... -Density of wooded areas means this course doesn't lose as much challenge as some courses in winter when leaves are down. -For the area, this course is less waterlogged than most the day after rain. -UPDATE: They've...

4.50 star(s) Possibly the best I've ever played Not sure I have much to add beyond what other reviewers have said, but I can reiterate: -Outstanding variety among holes; each one has something interesting to offer. -Truly excellent use of terrain with plenty of elevation change. -Very clear signage; we had...

Count me in as hating the term "frolf" to refer to disc golf. When referring to the original sport I use the term "plain golf," but I'm deliberately using a loaded term in response to several members of our DG group who play both sports and call it "real golf." When explaining DG to someone...

4.00 star(s) Great course design, but flawed Outstanding variety of holes, with plenty of interesting twists; holes on sides of hills, among thick saplings, at bottom of hill in front of creek, on other side of creek from most of fairway, etc. Most fun I've had playing in western suburbs of Chicago. Wet...
