    Review by hacocacyb in course Highland Park

    4.00 star(s) 30 yrs later, Chicagoland has new crown course This course from a pure hole perspective is perfection in my mind. Very interesting and challenging holes, great variety between short and long tees. Excellent use of hills and trees. Great design where front nine and back nine both start and end...

    What States/Countries Have You Played In?

    Gold had some great holes, but also a lot of boring holes in the middle. There are many great holes on the complex, but no course is great from top to bottom, agreed?

    Anyone's league scores worse than casual play?

    I definitely play worse under pressure. It's usually from a particular friend that I'd want to beat or something like that. The better I want to do the worse I concentrate. Advice: Don't think about getting a good 'score' think about getting the plastic in the basket. Do the same thing...

    Guy Trip to Wrigley and Area Disc Golf Courses

    Play Highland Park in Joliet. It will change Chicago's disc golf reputation all by itself! It was put in late summer of 2008. I've played in Minnesota, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Wisconsin, Southern Indiana, Maine and other places. The topography in Chicago just doesn't support interesting...
