It's a scenic hike through the park, the woods, the valleys, and along side a creek. (#5) Oh yeah, and there's a 9 basket disc golf course there!!

Course made good use of the elevation and the wooded areas of the park. Flow was really good as well, except the 8-9 hike (see cons)

Some of the memorable holes:
#1 Across a valley to a basket on the side of a small hill.
#2 Down and up through a narrow opening in the trees, which is probably even more challenging when the leaves are out
#5 A short throw diagonally across a small creek (no fear of losing disc) which runs from tee to basket.
#7 A straight throw through a fairway that has two very mature trees diagonally placed as basket protection.
and #9 Another down and up throw, this one is dog leg left.

Tee pads were "natural" and inconsistent from hole to hole.
Signage was large white placard board (18 x 24) with only hole number and arrow pointing direction and was missing on #3 and #8. Just picked a logical spot and threw....
Walk from #8 to #9 was too far to conclude the course like that.

All the above said, I realize I did enjoy the quality of the holes themselves, even if the course quality wasn't there (hope that makes sense!!) In fact I upped my score half a point from my original thought.

Course looks like it is being reconfigured. I found one old sign where there was no longer a basket to throw to and the tee markers for another were faced where it looked like there used to be a basket.

Course just needs signage with distance markers and it gains a half point from me, concrete pads another half point.

This was course #1 of a 4 course Sunday trip through south central Illinois. In hindsight, it was the most fun of the 4 courses that I played!
