Pros: The golf carts and ball golf atmosphere is the best quality of this course. With a par of 76 and only 3 par 3s, this course will make you throw a few good shots on each hole to score well. You get to tee off from the asphalt tee area that surrounds the ball golf tee.
Cons: Every drive is nearly identical, and will require players with 400 ft or less distance to throw full power every drive. There are little to no trees that come in to play, and therefore shot shaping is unnecessary. Unfortunately the course is rather expensive for disc golf, but it should be a little fun for those who can throw over 400 ft consistently. Those who cant throw over 300: I wouldn't advise playing here. There is only one hole under 400 ft after one of the baskets has been moved.
Other Thoughts: I rented a cart, I would advise you do too. At 12,566 ft, its one of the longest disc golf courses, and there is alot of space between some of the holes.

Pros: Golf Carts!
Pay to Play amenities that a golf course offers. Pro shop, snacks/food, drinks and clean restrooms.
Pro/Advanced level course. If you like to bomb you will love this course.
Long. This is true par 4 and 5 golf. There are only a few shorter par 3's on the course.
Solid course design. Some well placed baskets near greens. (Greens are OB in Fly 18 Golf)
Excellent terrain for rollers.
Some minor elevation and water comes into play on several holes.
New Discraft Chainstar baskets.
Nice asphalt superlong tee areas.
1 of 2 courses within the city limits of Chicago. It's not too far from the train station.
If you have never played Fly 18 style disc golf it's a unique experience.

Cons: Pay to play. Depending on what time you play it can be pricey for disc golf.
This course can be very crowded with golfers and play can be slow. It's a hack golf course so lots of beginner golfers are on the course.
Pro/Advanced level course. This is definitely not a beginner course.
Since this is a golf course there are very few tree obstacles. Lots of long and open shots.

Other Thoughts: Call before playing to make sure baskets and course is open for play.
Fly 18 disc golf is not for everyone. If you cannot throw the disc near 300 feet you probably will not enjoy yourself.
If you play this course rent a cart!
If you are looking for a challenge this is the place for you. To score well you have to be able to throw long and there is a premium on approach shots and putting.
