3.00 star(s) Sycamore Park -The course has it's own secluded corner of the large sports spark. -Longer holes (I don't think there is a hole under 275ft). -Natural fairway/rough with prairie grass. -Concrete tee pads. -Nice flow between holes (I never felt lost or confused on where to go next). -Large willow...

2.50 star(s) Bring the Lawn Mower! -Great tee pads -Fun elevation changes -A couple wooded holes -Many open holes -No waiting time -Relatively secluded on the course, but as soon as you leave the course you are surrounded by suburbia. -Fairways are way too narrow. Even for experienced disc golfers. I play...

I was just practicing in the back yard, but I think this video is a perfect example of hitting chains and being robbed. It probably has more to do with my disc catcher and using a distance driver from mid-range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P9_Kf0Dzd0

3.00 star(s) Lion's Park Nice course, there is a good variety of wooded and open holes. I like the utilization of the sledding hill on hole 2 and hole 6. Cement tee boxes are always nice. Hole 3 may cause some hazards for people unaware that there is a disc golf course because it is a blind shot to the...

3.50 star(s) Indian Oaks The first time I played Indian Oaks I knew the area had a special disc golf course. It is by far the most challenging in the McHenry/Boone/Winnebago county area, but also one of the most fun. Some of the holes, especially in the woods are very difficult and if you have a bad throw...

I've heard a rumor that Rockford College might be putting in a disc golf course. Anyone else hear about this?

1.50 star(s) Red Fox This course is very easy. With that said, it was a good little warm-up for the Grey Course, although you may not need to use your driver on this course at all. If I lived in the area I probably would use this course to work on my mid-range/putting game. Almost had a couple of aces...

2.50 star(s) Belvidere This is actually quite a beautiful course when it comes to scenery. I enjoy the trees and the Kishwaukee River flowing along side the park. I also enjoy the challenge for only being 9 holes. Hole 3 has a huge risk/reward factor if you try to make it over the pond on your drive. I...

2.50 star(s) Porter Park This course is close to my house, so I go here a lot. Porter Park is pretty open, so if you like throwing for distance this course might be up your alley. One hole that I love to hate is #3 which is relatively wooded with a creek running to the right and a swamp to the left. If...

2.00 star(s) Longview Let me say this about Longview. It is a course with great potential. The elevation changes and scenery make this course fun to play. There are some challenging holes that many disc golfers will enjoy. Besides that however, I feel that there is a lot to be desired about this course...

3.00 star(s) Pioneer Park When I arrived at this course I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this parked looked. Large trees, ponds, and well groomed grass. The course has 18 holes that makes its way around the large city park. The holes, though not entirely difficult, can create some challenge for...

When I was in high school in Illinois I participated in cross-country. We had meets and practices off campus. I do not think that would be an issue.

Hey all, I am just wondering what everyone thinks about having disc golf as a sponsored sport for high schools across the country. I am wondering how many of you would have done this if your high school sponsored a actually state competing team. Are there any states that do sponsor teams? I...
