Played on:Dec 19, 2009
Played the course:once
Pros:
-some decent variety here. Some nice tight lines, hyzers, anhyzers and straight shots.
-I'm not sure if over the walking paths is OB, but if you play them that way, this course is fairly challenging and offers some risk/reward.
-Good variety of length...some holes are short and kind of technical, some are fairly long and kind of technical. My favorite hole was Hole 3. A nice 400' straight but finishing hard right into the woods, so you had to strategically place your first shot to be able to see the hole for the layup.
-Holes were fairly well designed but kind of crammed into small area.

Cons:
-Teepads are fairly nasty, it was wet when I played though.
-This seems like a fairly dangerous place to throw discs. It is all along a major walking path area with some shots crossing the paths...just be really careful not to hit walkers
-There is a fairly large pond that doesn't come into play except on horrible shots. Hole 4 and hole 6 are the only holes with remotely dangerous shots. I would have liked to see Hole 4 play to pin 6 (which would put a shot over the water), and hole 6 play to 4.
-Some super congested areas hereTee pads 6 and 9 are within 30 ft of the pin for 8...seems really poorly thought out in that regard.
-No trashcans and some litter, no bathrooms that I saw, but I guess you probably could go into the building if need be.

Other Thoughts:
This course is loads better than siu rec center, but it still doesn't justify a trip to the area.
