Pros:

This course is located on a nice little chunk of land for disc golf. No other activities should interfere here which is a plus. This is a really fun little 9 hole course. The flow of the course is pretty intuitive to follow for the most part. There are concrete tees on every hole. One tee per hole. These pads are a little on the narrow side but you're not going to need a huge run up anyway. These were all level and gripped nicely. The tee signs here have all the basic info on them. Hole number, distance and basic map of the hole. Plenty serviceable. The baskets are DISCatchers that are in pretty solid shape still and they catch great. The design here uses the land perfectly to fit 9 fun and unique holes in. Hole 2 throws from a small tunnel back out into the open. Hole 3 is a fun little slight downhill right to left that you need to hit the opening or it can get dicey for a two. Hole 6 is an elevated basket, hole 7 is an "island" hole if you want it to be, Hole 8 is tucked into the woods again with another elevated pin with a pretty good drop off behind. Just really well designed all around.

Cons:

I will say without a map finding hole 2 is a bit confusing. You can see 4's basket and 5's tee pad and sign which is confusing. You have to walk past 5's pad and it's tucked into the tree line on the left 30 or so feet away. A few of the holes run pretty close to each other as well. Could be a little sketchy on a busier day, mostly on the earlier section.

Other Thoughts:

This is definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. A round can be played in under an hour depending on your pace of play. The course is free to play and permanent. One of the better designed 9 hole courses I've played in awhile.

Pros:

Holy moly! I love this course! This was my 125th course, so I've developed a pretty good idea of good and bad and this is definitely on the good side!

For a 9 hole course, this is fantastic. Truly fantastic.

The layout is perfect. Here's why. The designers utilized the land amazingly. Each of the 9 holes is unique and offers it's own challenge. It is a memorable course with #5 being the signature "field goal" hole. However, through the use of elevated baskets and island greens and small little idiosyncrasies, each hole is memorable and fun. The layout is extremely intuitive and flows very well. I was a bit confused on hole 8, but that's because there are apparently two tees on this hole.

The equipment is very new and great. Cement tee pads, new DisCatchers, signs with adequate information. Grass is mowed. Garbage is a non-issue. I'm impressed. There are definitely people here that care about the course and continue to nurture it like their baby.

Cons:

The biggest (and maybe only) con, is that it's nine holes (which automatically takes a point off the rating). There are no massive elevation changes and no water, but it makes use of the land perfectly. Because each hole is so unique, you could easily play two rounds here and not be bored. The designers really tried to make each hole unique in their own way so there is no true "filler hole".

An idea, I think having a big course map at the beginning of the course would add some value, though the layout is extremely intuitive.

Other Thoughts:

Wow. Truly. Come check out this 9-holer. I would definitely put it in the top 10 9-holers in the state. Probably even top 5. It's definitely comparable to Skare Woods in Rochelle, IL (#1 rated 9-holer in the US). I had an absolute blast playing here on a fresh October morning. I don't think you'll regret coming here. Peoria's courses, especially the recent ones, have really impressed me. Peoria is becoming a fantastic destination for disc golf and it may now be the best in the state. My hats off on this course!
