Short and technical does the trick
Pros: -This is a typical old school style disc golf course, Lots of short but technical holes with some holes in a more open field setting.
-Concrete pads are in good condition, All baskets are in good shape, plenty of trash cans and there is a port-o-potty at the parking lot.
-While most holes require a well executed straight shot there are a few holes that require some shot shaping. Enough fairway obstacles to make almost all the holes interesting and fun.
-Good potential for aces.
-Good course for players of various skill levels. This would be a great course for a beginner to learn the sport of disc golf and yet more experienced players will still find enough challenge here to make for a fun round.
-Navigation is very straightforward and the course has good flow to it.
-Close in proximity to some other very good courses making this course ideal for a quick warmup round before playing some of the bigger, badder J-Town courses.

Cons: -There is a lot of course stuffed into a relatively small space. When busy this course could be a little hairy, fairways overlap and some teepads are too close to the last hole's basket.
-Signs are in very poor condition and most are completely unreadable.
-Course can be very muddy after any kind of precipitation.
-Couple holes shoot wayyyy to close to the road. While you probably wont hit any cars, Plastic and pavement do not get along well.
-The course does lack a lot of what I really like about disc golf, which is peace and quiet in a nicely wooded setting. The highway is close and the course is surrounded with industrial style buildings and lots.

Other Thoughts: This course was a fun play and I did enjoy playing here but it is a little too short for my likings. I threw a lot of mids and putters with a couple drivers on the open field shots.
Like I said earlier in my review, there are a bunch of other awesome courses that are all close to this course which make this course awesome for a quick warmup round.
7-11 at 59 and jefferson has a small selection of discs. Even better than that, Aces and chains which is at jefferson and larkin is a dedicated disc golf store and it is on the way to west park.

Short, cool, confusing
Pros: The course is laid out with a lot of trees and technical shots. If you hit a tree or end up with a bad shot, you can still usually pull a par or bogey, which could be a con to some of you "pros." The lack of distance and a lot of tree cover made it very girlfriend friendly on a 95 degree day
Cons: Not enough variety. it's technical but too short imo. I like to be able to throw for distance sometimes, I usually don't driver over 250 so its n ot that big of a deal, but I would have enjoyed a few 400+ holes
Other Thoughts: It's the last turn before you are stuck on 55 South, so be sure you see the tiny westbound driveway leading into the park, or else you'll be seeing St. Louis signs pretty quickly. I heard there are a lot of bugs after rain, and since it's a wooded course, be sure to be prepared with some off.

Other Thoughts: Fun park to chill down brews and ace runs.
Can get crowded but plays pretty quick, central location with numerous great courses in the area

Very Technical Course
Pros: This is a very technical course. It has many holes that require many different shots. Hole number one is a longer sloping right curve, great for RHFH. There are several holes that are virtual straight shots through trees, but elevation changes make them all feel very unique. It's a very good course for beginners to hone their skills. The mandos serve to make the course more technical. None of them are excessively far from the natural lines in the course, really they seem to deter from people taking lucky throws through lots of trees and throwing an open line.
Cons: The course is pretty short. The longest hole being right around 340 ft. This can leave it dissatisfing for many strong armed players. It can also get pretty muddy during rainy times.
Other Thoughts: This was the course I learned to play on first, and its great just for that. The shorter, technical shots are perfect for teaching control with mids and putters.

Good course
Pros: Course has a nice layout with a good variety of holes. Everything is pretty open and easy to follow with some more challenging acable holes as well as some long hyzer shots. There is a lack of flatness on most of the holes, which is a good change of pace from most of the other courses around.
The course is well maintained and has great tee boxes. Additionally the course hasn't ever been busy when I have been here.
This course is great for any skill level and is easy to follow around, there really isn't a need for markings as the course flow is laid out quite well.

Cons: Although it is a nice course, it really isn't overly impressive. Holes are laid out in a casual fashion and don't offer much of a challenge for more skilled players. Aftrer a while straight shots through the woods are all the same.
A couple of times I have come here and it has been really muddy, but as with any course, just watch conditions before heading out.

Other Thoughts: Good beginner course with variety, fun tee shots and up and downs. If you're in the area its worth the stop, you wouldn't want to pass it up. But if you're looking for a challenging course, this just isn't it.

Short & Tricky 
Pros: This is a small park where the course plays into some nice wooded areas and utilizes the open space. See the link below for hole by hole photos.
This is a very short course with some variety. The mandos are interesting and there are quite a few. You need some trick shots and forehand to score well on this course. A forehand cut roller can pick up a few birdies.
There are Sort/Long tees. Not all have Longs. Concrete for 1 set.
Pretty easy to navigate.
It's minutes off I55.

Cons: Very short and lacks challenge for more skilled players.
If you go during prime hours it can get congested with baskets being close to tees.
Course can be muddy after rain.

This course is located right off I55 and will not take long to play. I'd consider playing Channahon instead of this course if you have the time.
Check out my Illinois Top 10.

Nice short course
Pros: Nice short course. Challenging without having any truly long holes. Heavily wooded, especially 3-6 and holes 9-10.
Cons: Muddy! Most tees are cement, but mud surrounds them in springtime. Bring your mud shoes. Very few long holes.
Other Thoughts: Overall a nice course to play when you don't have a lot of time, your working on your short game and tight shots, or you prefer not to play a long course. I learned on this course, which was great, but I no longer find it very challenging.

This review was updated on 11/2/2008
Pros: Nice course, requires a good amount of skill with some fairly tight shots. Challenging and not too long, with a good mix of wooded and open shots. Nice use of space, decent flow. Holes are fairly well marked.
Cons: Some holes are a little too close to both the road and the parking lot. Was very crowded when we played on a Friday afternoon, and that hampered our play. The dried up creek that runs through the first few holes was EXTREMELY muddy, so you can run the risk of dirtying up your disc or shoes pretty bad. You run the risk of getting confused, especially on the later holes - we accidentally skipped a hole altogether.
Other Thoughts: There is nothing extraordinary about this course, and there isn't anything too bad either. The entrance could be very easy to miss from 59, so I was glad to be with someone who had played there before. Shorewood is a fun little course that I'd be glad to play again.
