    Review by Michler in course Bob Mays Park

    2.00 star(s) Disappointing The course has nice new Mach 3 baskets. There are several holes where you can let loose some big drives. The park is nice, in a quiet neighborhood, and well maintained. The course flows well enough that it is fairly simple to find your way around without using the map. There...

    Review by Michler in course Circle C Metro Park @ Slaughter Creek

    4.50 star(s) Beautiful, Well-Maintained First-off, this course is extremely well-maintained down to the small details. It's in an enormous, multi-use park in what appeared to be a pretty nice suburb of Austin. There are 2 sets of generously sized cement tee-pads for all of the longer holes. The tees are...

    Review by Michler in course Lemon Lake County Park - Gold/Silver

    3.50 star(s) Great land, long distances, low fun factor. Its a challenging course for sure. There are a few fun holes that I enjoyed as well, but no 'signature' type holes that leave an imprint in your mind whatsoever. Alot of big distance for those who like to throw far and some really tight wooded holes...

    Review by Michler in course Adler Park

    2.50 star(s) Not a bad 9 holer Requires excellent shots 300+ feet through trees to card birdies. Mostly straight shots required with a couple more open hyzer holes at the end. This is one of the most fun 9 hole courses in the Chicago area. Nice long cement tees. Only 9 holes which makes play difficult...

    Review by Michler in course Bevier Park - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Greatly Improved! This course has gone from nothing to a truly challenging 18 hole course. There are some long open holes and some deadly tight wooded holes. Shooting in the 40s on this course requires some excellent shots. Baskets across the street are placed on mounds which create a...

    Review by Michler in course Fox River Park - Grey Fox

    4.00 star(s) Great course in a beautiful park! Just played this course for the first time last week. I was very excited to see a course of this caliber in an area that is starved for a decent course. This course is in a very well manicured and very large public park. The front 9 offers a wide variety of...

    Review by Michler in course West Lake Park

    4.00 star(s) Really, really hard...maybe too hard. 24 brutally challenging holes. All the length you'll ever want and then some. A ton of water coming in to play. This course will work every facet of your game. From super tight fairway shots and brutal rough to more open 'let-it-rip' par 4's where OB...

    Review by Michler in course Water Works Park

    5.00 star(s) Super big elevation changes! FUN! Challenging course with mostly par 3 golf. A favorite among the elite Pros on the PDGA tour. This course winds up and down steep hills which forces every player to focus on the angle their disc lands. Alot of demanding shots that are fun to throw over and...

    Review by Michler in course Wildcat Springs

    4.50 star(s) A top course in Illinois This course starts it off right with Hole 1. One of the best holes in Illinois. You tee downhill towards a valley with heavy schule (difficult to get out of) at the bottom of the valley. Heavy woods to the right. OB road cutting in towards the fairway on the left...

    Review by Michler in course Kensington Toboggan

    5.00 star(s) Go big or go home! HUGE elevation changes. So much fun to bomb down those hills. Super challenging course. Tough par 4's that require good drives and you've got to execute on your 2nd shots to get your birdies. Holes 6 and 7 are as demanding as any holes you'll find. Playing this course is...

    Review by Michler in course Fairfield Park

    4.50 star(s) Best in Chicagoland Two sets of tees (cement) and two sets of baskets intertwine to make two distinct courses. The majority of my review pertains to the Gold course, which is by far the better and more challenging of the two. Both courses are well marked with tee signs, drop zones, and markers...

    Review by Michler in course Blue Ribbon Pines - Main

    4.50 star(s) Worth the 6 hour Drive You can read most of the other reviews on here and see what is so great about this course. Its not just hype. The course really does give you a great feeling when you walk up to that first tee. I won't break down the shots needed to play the entire course as thats...

    Review by Michler in course Kaposia Park

    4.50 star(s) Tons of Signature Holes! I'm not sure how this course is only rated 4.00 on here. I've got this in my top 10 of 211 played. Kaposia will get you to throw just about every shot in your bag. Beautiful fairways cut through the woods and significant elevation change on just about every hole...

    Review by Michler in course C.P. Adams Park - Old Layout

    3.50 star(s) Great course - needs signage I played C.P. Adams at the end of a 4 course day, so I was a bit fatigued entering the round. I played the long tees for the most part. Right off the bat on Hole 1 I realized this wasn't going to be an easy finish to the day. The course features many tight...

    Minneapolis/St Paul Mid August Road Trip

    MN road trip Really appreciate the comments. We'll definitely be getting started early each morning. We've been doing these types of trips for about 7+ years now, but I don't think we've ever taken on this many high caliber courses at once before. Looking forward to it.
