Beter than I Expected
Pros: Easy to navigate, and even though the park was busy, the course is intelligently laid out so you almost never have to worry about being in someone's way, or having someone in your way. Second and Eighth holes play toward and over a small pond, offering a nice challenge. Eight is particularly good, you have the option of playing over the pond or taking a wide arc to the right. That arc has a row of trees right in the line. Smart!
Cons: Course is very flat, there is only the little bank around the pond to give any variation. The tee pads are nice, but some were too short for me. Those who don't need/want as much of a run-up won't notice this. Biggest complaint? It's only nine holes.
Other Thoughts: Tee for three is the sidewalk next to the tee sign. Map shows fourth hole is to the left of the sidewalk, it's actually to the right. I'm in town for a week on business. I'll be here several more times this week.
Report this Review Great little course
Pros: The tee and pin locations are great on this course. The little course map is awesome as well you never have to take a second to look for the pins as the park is very clean and maintained. This is a great course for someone just starting out and learning the sport.Clean and fun course.
Cons: This may not be a fun course for someone that has been playin for years as the holes are pretty easy and you never really have to bomb any shots because the holes aren't that long.
Other Thoughts: With little to no hazards this is an overall great little course if you only have about 30 minutes to play. On number 8 you do have to throw over a pond but in the winter there is no water so that is nice. But i do have to say if you go to one of the colleges around the area and you play come try it out.
Played Between Classes
Pros: From what I remember, this course was a great beginner course. A friend and I went to play in between college classes, and we fit 2 rounds in, in a pretty short time. A mix of short and long holes.
Cons: Beginner course, not too many skill shots needed. hazard in the middle makes for a fun adventure if you lose your disc in it, I remember my friend looking for a disc and eventually finding it 15 minutes later.
Other Thoughts: Played this almost 2 years ago now, just remembered that it was one of the first courses I played, and I wanted to review it from what I could remember, more for my own memory than anyone else.
Great beginner course 
Pros: -Light amount of obstacles and fairly open drive lines make this course a perfect place for a beginner or a first time disc golfer.
- intermediate gofers may find this a challenge as well. A few water obstacles and varied distances allow intermediate folders to hone their drive skills as well as their putting skills
- Water hazards are designed well so you can retrieve a disc if it is thrown in there

Cons: - This course is not the greatest play for advanced golfers
- If you have a variety of discs, this course becomes a none challenge
- Nice days have people walking everywhere and it makes it hard to make a composed shot. You feel rushed

- Nice days have people walking everywhere and it makes it hard to make a composed shot. You feel rushed
Other Thoughts: Like I mentioned before this course is great for beginners and intermediates with only a few amount of discs. As your skill gets better and you acquire more disc, this course will become less and less challenging

Not bad.
Pros: Decent, but short, tee pads, mowed grass, nice baskets. Hole 1 and 8 are the best on the course. Hole one because it takes a good shot to park it. Hole 8 because you have to throw over the pond. Tee signs are nicely designed and helpful.
Cons: The rest of the holes only had trees right around the basket, so they did not force any different kinds of shots. The only time I got confused is when throwing from the path that is hole 3's tee pad, because of the position of the tee sign. I originally threw to 4's basket , but realized my mistake quickly.
Other Thoughts: Not a killer course by any means but a fun one nonetheless. Great course for beginners. If you have to pick between here and Osborne park, play Osborne.

Fun Quick Course Pros: First hole is challenging with lots of trees and a tight fairway. Course can be played pretty quickly .
Cons: Not a very long course. Also, lots of walkers especially when the school next door lets out.
Other Thoughts: Great course for learning the game and experimenting with new technique. This can be a very forgiving course with the exception of just a couple of holes.

West Park Pros: Access is easy. Difficult enough to keep coming back to. Great home course! Great to learn on.
Cons: Foot traffic after school. No elevation changes. The more experienced players should have no problem with this course.

Simple beginner course
Pros: Great small beginner course with few obstacles. Simple holes, well marked with signs, tee pads, and baskets. Only one hold has a water hazard. Great course to learn the ropes.
Cons: Not challenging. Boring holes. Many of the holes have only one tree obstacle. Hole one is really the only interesting hole. For avid players, worth playing once. In the winter the park is fairly empty; in the summer the course can be busy with many bystanders. Walking paths cut through the middle of the park.
Other Thoughts: Excellent place for people to learn the basics of disc golf.

Pros: West Park is a pretty mediocre neighborhood park that is low on challenge and mostly through open field areas. Hole one is probably the early highlight of this course because it actually forces players to choose between two distinct fairways and shape either a medium-range hyzer flip shot or long hyzering sidearm skip shot. Besides the course itself, the rest of the park is pretty nice with well-maintained grassy fields, a small marsh that comes into play on a few shorter holes, and nice tee signs on each hole.
Cons: The course only has a couple of holes where trees actually form any sort of obstacle. Mostly, the trees are placed so far down the fairway that they don't really make a player shape thier shot and only really come into play if you have to putt around one. There is a little bit of challenge in terms of distance and a few pin placements that are close to the small marsh, but overall, experienced players are going to be a bit bored.
Other Thoughts: This course reminds me quite a bit of the sea of nine hole courses that dot the Chicagoland area. Limited tree coverage, flatness, and few unique features make it difficult to create a course which is challenging but the designers here have done what they could and, for casual players, this course is probably a pretty fun play. Otherwise those looking for a traditional challenging course should head to nearby Eagle Island.

Pros: West Park is an ordinary course in a smaller park with other amenities. The course has some random trees that are worked into the design of the course that turn a short, open boring course into something a little more fun but not very challenging. The 'dry pond' that is in play on holes two and eight wasn't dry at all during my round but I feel as though with some water in here it adds a little bit of a psychological challenge to your throws and decision making. Navigation is quick and easy with the concrete tees and signs located close to the last basket.
Cons: Not much challenge involved here. I'm not exactly sure that much more could be done with the land here, there just isn't enough to work with.
Other Thoughts: This could be a fun course if you are in town and are looking to get in a quick nine. If you are looking for more of a challenge then Ann Morrison is less than 20 miles away.
