Nice 10 Holes 
Pros: Randall Oaks has a lot elevation change when compared to the average chicagoland course. Hole 3 is downhill though some tall oaks and hole 4 is a long shot up a fairly steep hill.
The course is very well kept. The pins are new and the brick teepads are very nice. The signs are nice and very helpful in navigating the course.

Cons: The layout of the course is a little wonky in one place. After hole 9 you have to walk back past hole 4 and 7's pins and hole 5 and 8's tees. This area can get a little conjested.
A few hole such as number 5 are just wide open.

Other Thoughts: It is a fairly short course and makes good use of space in the park. The holes are far enough from other things in the park that people being in the way is rarely a concern. A few more holes could potentially be added.
There is a petting zoo in the park.

Decent start 
Pros: Good elevation changes on holes 3 and 4. Holes 1-4 are fun and have some big trees to work around.
Cons: 5-9 are in an open field. Still fun and challenging but not nearly as nice as the begining of the course.
Other Thoughts: Needs another 10 holes.

Pros: The course plays through a grassy park with scattered mature trees and some decent sized elevation changes. There are a few holes that take advantage of the elevation to add some challenge and interest. There is a mix of open holes, and holes with lots of lines through scattered trees.
There are some longer open holes mixed in with the shorter ace runs, so you have a chance to throw a couple drives here. Most of the holes are a mix of straight shots and RHBH hyzer shots, but there is one sharp dogleg right, and an uphill right curving shot that mix things up a bit.
The park is beautiful and well-kept, with nice grass and no trash or debris. There are simple tee signs that give the hole layout and the distance, along with signs pointing the way to the next tee at the one confusing spot. There aren't any navigation issues on the course, especially with a nice course map posted at the beginning of the course. The tee pads are nicely laid paving bricks that were well leveled, and provided great footing to tee from.

Cons: There was so much potential to this park that simply wasn't used. Only one hole really used the elevation to it's full potential, and that was a fun uphill hole with no downhill bomb as the reward for the climb. There seemed to be a lot crammed into the area around the 4th and 7th baskets, this could be a little bit of a safety issue on busy days, as could the hole that shoots directly over the park road.
The two holes with length were pretty boring and open, and most of the fun holes were too short to really present a challenge. There was enough space and terrain to design a much more interesting and challenging course here.
The other park users seemed to be unaware of the disc golf course, and were allowing their children to wander unsupervised across a couple fairways, so watch out on busy weekends. Hopefully this will change as more people are exposed to the sport here.

Other Thoughts: This course is a great beginner course, with reasonable lengths and no chance of losing a disc, or having navigation troubles. It's a great way to expose new people to the sport. More experienced players won't find too many challenges here, and will probably be disappointed with the use of the available terrain.
Don't drive out of your way just to play this course, but it's definitely worth the stop for a fun quick round if you're in the area. There's also a petting zoo and picnic areas to make it a fun family outing.

Decent Course
Pros: - The course is maintained well
- Brand new course = new baskets and new brick tee pads
- The next tee pad can easily be found from the previous pin
- No unneccessary walking involved
- A few holes have elevation
- Nice new tee signs with par and distance
- Brand new course = new baskets and new brick tee pads
- The next tee pad can easily be found from the previous pin
- No unneccessary walking involved
- A few holes have elevation
- Nice new tee signs with par and distance
Cons: - Half the holes are wide open (only one uses distance as an obstacle, but its a par 5)
- Pars are too high on most holes
- Layout has a lot of holes bunched close together
- Pars are too high on most holes
- Layout has a lot of holes bunched close together
Other Thoughts: This course was nice, but was not overall challenging. It is short and packed into a smaller area, so rounds take no time at all. It is great for beginners that are learning the game. Seasoned verterans will probably be a bit bored at this course, or can play here for a nice relaxing round or two. Petting zoo in the park for the kids.

Fun 
Pros: Great location. I have wanted a course in this area for a long time. It's next to a busy road which will help expose it to fellow disc golfers. New course so the signs are nice and helpful. Tees are brick which are nice to throw off of. There is a little elevation change, but nothing significant.
Cons: Holes 1 and 2 are unplayable if it rains. Why only 10 holes. There is definitely potential to have more holes, and with the holes that are available the full potential of the holes isn't there. There is one 400 foot shot, but that's it even though there could be 2-3 more. Hole 9 poses a risk because you are throwing towards the 8 tee. Weird course layout. You walk past holes then go back to them.
Other Thoughts: This is a fun course, but there a lot of potential. If the basket placements were changed so different types of shots came into play and obstacles it would increase this course tenfold. Overall this course offers a good time in a beautiful park. If you are in the area this is a must.

Nice way to pass 30 minutes 
Pros: Holes 1-4+ 10 play through wooded areas the rest are pretty much wide open. nice mix of terrain. Course is still fairly new but the grass is always mowed and maintained. Easy to navigate, clearly marked, not much confussion on where to go. Restrooms between 2 and 3.
Cons: not enough holes. plenty of potential for another 8! Wind can be a pain on 5-8.
Other Thoughts: although i am fairly new to the sport and this was the first course I ever really played, i keep coming back to this course. Good place to to work on your short and long game.

Worth stopping by
Pros: Course is easy to find, on Randall Rd. Elevation changes keep it interesting. It's a scenic park, with lots of mature trees. Course was clean when I was there; ample garbage cans. I did pick up a couple empty bottles though... The holes require different types of shots. Tee pads are concrete, but seem just a little short. (maybe need an extra 6-12") Distance for most holes is ok. The arrangement could've been a little bit different to add challenge.
Cons: Some baskets are a little close to one another. A couple holes are in open fields with no obstacles.
Other Thoughts: No one there when I was there, but I can see it being busy on the weekends. There is a petting zoo on the property, as well as a playground, so families could potentially be in the way. There's a golf course on the left side of hole 3, so watch your throw, keep it straight.

B = Better than average 9-holer
Pros: What I personally like and how this course stacks up:
1) Holes with good risk/reward -- C+
2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities -- B
3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography -- B+
4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion -- B
5) Multi-shot holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them -- NA

Other Thoughts: I ranked this course subjectively based on my own personal enjoyment factor…more accurately my "personal addiction factor". Since I have played a decent number of courses (115 18-hole, 50 9-hole as of early 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they chose courses to play and explore.
Over time, I expect to fill some of my reviews in with more descriptive verbiage…if what I say adds anything to what has already been written. For now, my list is more important to me than the verbiage of my reviews.
I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

does the trick
Pros: Very easy access with a good mix of shots. Some of the holes have a very pretty set up, like #1,2,3,10. Good practice course. Takes about 25-35 min to complete a round.
Cons: The course is a little shorter than i like. A few holes you can open up on if your an average driver like me.
Other Thoughts: There is pleanty of space for more holes. I was speaking with someone who was in on the designing of the course and there is def a possibility of extending the course to 18 holes if it seems prosperous. so get out there and show them that its worth it to put them in.
