Oak Park Purple DGC Is Certainly Similar To The Pre- 2014 Layout! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 27, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

At the start there is a nice kiosk with the Delta Windjammers course map. The tee signs clearly show you that this is the Purple Course. The tee signs are colored with a picture of the hole showing the two or three tee positions. From the picture, it's not always simple to figure out which position the basket is in today. We guessed at times. The large tee signs also devote 1/2 their space for advertisers. The tee pads are concrete and nicely long. The baskets are DGA models with the a Delta Windjammer sticker on the number plate.

One advantage of advancing age is all the memories you don't remember. I don't remember the previous course enough to notice the differences. Maybe the new layout is longer? The primary challenge here is distance. The course is flat with scattered trees. I agree with the previous reviewer who stated that while the course might be an advanced recreational level when baskets are in the shorter Green positions, from the long Blue positions, the distance alone bumps the challenge level up to intermediate level. And that's why I wasn't exactly enamored with the Purple course. There were enough 400' to 500' holes that were mostly open.

Cons:

# 3 sign is missing.

Holes 8 & 9 both play along the busy highway and I watched two players throw three discs onto the busy Eight Mile Road, just missing cars and a truck. Then they had to brave the traffic to go retrieve their discs.

$5 to park.

Geese and geese crap everywhere. So much that it somewhat soured me on the whole experience of playing here.

The navigation is a little tricky.

Other Thoughts:

This is a solid course which receives a lot of love from the club. It's evident that the Delta Windjammer DG Club is an active group that takes pride in their two courses here at Oak Park. With two challenging 18 hole courses here and with the changing basket positions, local golfers shouldn't be getting bored anytime soon. I think this is one of those courses that really is more conducive to the local players than to the occasional visiting, traveling player.
