Pros:

Bevier Park is located on the North side of Waukegan near the Airport. If you know anything about Waukegan Park District they take care of their parks as well as any in the nation. Typically all their parks are very clean and mowed. The first 5 holes start out with a more park feel then holes 6 through10 play in woods. Holes 11 and 12 finish in a more open area. This park is super flat and a very easy walk. This course was reduced from 21 holes to 12 after a walking path/bridge was built.

Tee signs mark all 12 holes.

Hole 9 is still one of the best holes in Lake County. Super tight line and a very rewarding birdie 2 if you can get it.

It's fairly easy to navigate.

Cons:

There are 3 different types of tee pads. Concrete, rubber, and crushed limestone. The concrete tee pads are perfect. The other tees suck!

The baskets are ok but the park district totally dropped the ball with this. With a total redesign and update of tees and baskets there was plenty of good land to make this a really good 9 hole course.

After the Forest Preare older baskets and not up to par with current standard baskets. Some are smaller old baskets. Some are Mach 2's. Some have numbers on them while others do not.

Pretty basic shorter course for the most part. Quite a few trees were lost on holes 2, 4, & 5 making them even easier than they used to be.

Multi use park. Watch for pedestrians.

Other Thoughts:

Here is my frustration of the current Bevier Course. The Waukegan Park District has plenty of resources. After the Lake County Forest Preserve destroyed the 21 hole layout they did nothing to help the disc golf course. Didn't update the tee signs, didn't install concrete tee pads, and didn't update the baskets. The county got right of way under the power lines so why not the park for disc golf holes? The parserve installed the path it opened up traffic from the back side of the park. Brought in more vandalism than I've seen the past 15 years.

Losing one of the 18+ hole course hurts especially when there are only 2 others in Lake County.
