Warren Township Park review
Pros: Very nice, short course if you're in the Chicago area. Good tree obstacles in the course and one water hazard plus a couple fun downhill shots.
Cons: This is a short course and some shots not so challenging. I actually hit a basket from first drive on my first time playing this course.

Report this Review Warren twp park
Pros: Good course with good signage. Variety in fairway in the woods. Hole variety. Hole 8 is fun and right off the topp of the sledding hill. Nice finishing hole. Fun deuce opportunities as well as some difficult 3s. Well maintained nice park
Cons: Tee pads. A lot of the land is not used. Can shoot -5 easily. Not very long. Hole 8 would be sweet if it was 400 ft
Other Thoughts: Nice beginner course. One of the better Chicagoland nines

Pros: -Concrete tee pads are in great shape
-Each hole has a designated fairway that gives you safe ways to approach each basket (Great for beginners)
-Hole #8 is probably the best around. It gives you the ability to launch discs off of an elevated tee which is uncommon for this area
-Baskets are in great shape
-Park staff is always around and very helpful

Cons: -This course has a tendency to become waterlogged and a simple drainage system could solve a lot of the problems. (Holes #1 and 7)
- Some of the tee pads are not long enough to take a quality approach.
-This is a multi-use park so you may encounter people on the volleyball courts around #8 and #9.
-The fairway on hole 3 is littered by trees and it forces you to rely a lot on luck to avoid hitting something.
-This is one of the few courses in the area that doesn't allow dogs.

Other Thoughts: This is what I would consider my home course and for what its worth the holes are playable most of the time. I would suggest staying right on hole one to avoid going into the muddy water. One last thing to note is that if you are hungry there is a nice pizza place to the right of hole #9 (Mike's Pizza) and you can generally get a large for $7.50.

Good Niner
Pros: The use of trees is awesome, because this course has pretty awesome trees for it's location. The trees add some difficult and technical lane shots, but not too technical for beginners. This would be a good course to learn on and play recreationally. Although there is very little elevation the one elevated tee pad is pretty sweet. I think anyone would enjoy this course.
Cons: The course is good for beginners so you will have large groups and families. Tee pads are smaller on some holes.
Other Thoughts: This is a good course for the area it is in and is really clean and well kept.

This review was updated on 1/6/2011
Pros: - Majority of the course is set in a flat part of the park with numerous small trees. Most of the holes have a well defined path to the basket, mainly clear of any trees. Any line off of the path has to deal with some trees, but it is usually not too big a problem. Some holes do have pretty tight spots off of the fairways, which encourages good line shaping.
- A few holes are more open, with larger trees to go around. They are also long enough where shot placement off the tee can be a big factor. Being able to get it past 300' accurately is must to get a good look at the basket.
- Hole off the sled hill is a nice downhill shot; at 285' it is deceptively long. #9 is short, but with water behind the basket. These two holes provide a very different look than the rest of the park, and definitely help to liven a round up.
- Short but good teepads, and good baskets.

Cons: - Some of the holes are very, very basic and have little character. All that matters is picking a line and missing the trees, which can feel more like luck that skill. Very small variation in the obstacles and scenery for the most part.
- Zero signage other than the "course starts here" sign. The tricky spots are crossing the parking lot parking lot after #3, and going up the sled hill after #7.

Other Thoughts: - Nice 9-hole course that makes good use of numerous trees to encourage some different lines. A few other holes are a little more open, but still have some trees, elevation or water. Some of the holes are pretty short, others approach 400'. Pretty good mix to keep things interesting.
- Basket #9 was missing when I played, and the tee was roped off. Not sure why it is gone; everything seems ready to go. Definitely hurts, it was the only hole that really had water as a big factor. Easily worth another 1/2 disc in my book, for what it's worth.

Solid Course
Pros: Requires a player to choose and then hit a specific line on each hole. Missing your line or choosing to play a bad shot will result in bad scores. Holes curve both ways and don't favor one style of throwing. Very easy to find your way around. 7th and 8th holes provide variety, the first 6 holes are all through the woods. 7th hole was probably the funnest to play, especially for a rhbh player. Just bomb a hyzer over the pond and shorter trees while avoiding taller mature trees farther back.
Cons: Even though the wooded holes all require different types of shots they get repetitive. Some teepads are shaped oddly or too small, but for the most part they were good. The 9th hole is short and could've have been designed better. There is probably room for at least 12 holes here, which would be nice with all the 9 holers in the area. No tee signs but this wasn't a problem and didn't effect navigation.
Other Thoughts: Very nice course that has a decent variation of holes. Hole 9 is a bit squeezed in. On Hole 8 a fence restricts rhbh throwers, I don't know if this was intentional or not so I didn't list it as a con. Good course for a quick, enjoyable 9 holes.

Beautiful Lanscaping 
Pros: - Great variety in the holes. (Distance and layout).
- Elevation on hole #8.
- Beautiful landscaping.
- Fairways were defined by a light tan mulch which stayed dry through a rainfall.
- A lot of mature trees for obstacles. (Closest thing to a wooded course in the area.)
- No real rough in which you could lose a disc.
- Enough clearance to chose other lines besides the defined fairway.
- Minor water hazards. (If you play it safe you are in no real danger of losing a disc.)
- Decent seclusion.
- Tee pads were concrete and stayed grippy even when wet.
- Garbage cans through out the course to keep it clean.

Cons: - Navigation issue between #3 and #4.

- Hole 8 plays very close to sand volleyball courts which could cause potential problems.
- Several holes also play close to a road running through the park, we saw very few cars drive on it though.

Other Thoughts: Warren is a great course with beautiful landscaping. Whoever maintains this course did a great job of making it beautiful and fun. There is great variety in the holes and the setup leaves for lots of choices on what to throw on a given hole. #8 is a great hole that utilizes the sledding hill, its a wonderful change from most flat courses in the Chicagoland area. With tee signs and some navigational aids this course could bump to a 4/5. I highly recommend this course. If I could choose one course to play passing through the Chicagoland area this would be my pick right behind Adler Park in Libertyville.

Fantastic Course 
Pros: No low-lying brush.
Baskets and tee-boxes incredibly easy to locate (mulch paths lead from tee to basket from hole to hole).
Well-staffed (park district staff always out on the course).
Interesting variation from hole to hole.
Well-maintained park.

Cons: No par or distance signs. (However, it allows groups to interpret each hole based on skill level and hole difficulty).
From 3-4 or 4-5, you must cross a parking lot to get to the next hole.

Other Thoughts: On the 9th hole, the basket is on a hill with a lake close behind it: be careful not to over throw!
The 8th hole can be quite windy because it is on top of a sled hill. However, that was the most fun hole in the whole course!

Better than most Chitown 9s 
Pros: The course is located in a big multiuse park with all kinds of other activity. To get to the first tee, drive all the way to the back of the parking lots and park just before the begining of the wooded area.
Variety: Holes 1-6 relatively short, defined fairways through trees. Hole 7 is mostly open (with some trees in the fairway) and longer than the most of the course. Hole 8 throws down a sled hill. Hole 9 pin is backstoped by a pond.
Nice roomy concrete tees and Mach III baskets in good shape.
Although much of the course plays through dense trees, there is no rough to speak of making finding stray shots a breeze.
Alternate tees on a couple holes increase variety and lengthen a fairly short course.
Hole 9 should be an easy two (it's short and wide open), but the basket is on a small ridge with a pond behind. It would be very easy to go long on this one.
Although I think the basket could be in a better spot, Hole 8 allows you to throw from an elevated tee (a rare treat in these parts).

Cons: Too short overall, a few of the holes could use some more D.
Hole 1 can be very swampy, encouraging you to take the easy, hyzer route rather than the more direct, more fun, slight anny route.
Navigation could be a problem for first time players (see other thoughts)
I would have loved for 8 (the downhill shot off the sled hill) to be longer, as is, the hole requires a kind of sawed off hyzer. With this tee location and the basket placed considerably farther out, the hole could be much more fun.

Other Thoughts: Navigation tips: After hole 2 cross the parking lot to your right, hole 3's tee is directly on the other side. After hole 7, walk straight ahead to steps in the side of sled hill. The tee for 7 is on top of the sled hill on the path. After 9, be careful walking back to hole 1. If you make a bee-line for it, you will cross 7's fairway. Follow the park road along the side of the sled hill, and you won't get in anyone's way.

Review By: ltkettch17 Played: 15 Reviewed: 4 Exp: 8 Years
This review was updated on 3/28/2010
Pros: This course offers a lot of variety for a short course, without much risk. Most of the year, the course if very well maintained. Hole 8 is interesting in that it tee's off a sled hill. The course maintains it's difficulty in that most of the holes are heavily wooded. However, there is a pre-determined (walking) path to the that your disc should follow. If you can mirror this path, you can easily make par. Holes 5 and 7 have short tee's.
Cons: The entire course gets very muddy after rain, hole 1 and 7 especially. Hole 1 can be unplayable, or at least undesirable, when flooded. Hole 7 is still playable, but caution is recommended.
The park can be very busy with the proximity to the High School, sport fields, walking path, and skate park. Teenagers often like to 'make out' on top of the sled hill (hole 8), they generally don't bother golfers, but could distract some players.
Tee signs are missing, and there's no arrows pointing to the next hole. Players new to the course could have a hard time finding the next hole unless other players are on the course to help.

Other Thoughts: Definitely an excellent course for all skill levels. It doesn't offer a lot of distance, but forces players to use different shots on almost every hole and focus on form rather than power.
