    Review by m1ke in course George Washington Park

    4.00 star(s) Almost a favorite Very well laid-out course. Great use has been made of the rolling terrain to provide a variety of shots with a good amount of elevation changes. I very much enjoyed finding out what each hole had to offer. Signage is excellent; the signs are noticeable with the tee numbers in...

    Review by m1ke in course Lombard Common Park

    2.00 star(s) Totally average course Good place to take beginners. A few interesting holes (and yes, there is some elevation). Good park facilities. Not that many interesting holes; definitely a low-challenge course lacking enough obstacles on many holes. Kinda crowded on a summer weekend (which surprised me...

    Review by m1ke in course Eagle Ridge/Civic Center

    4.00 star(s) Great course, but potentially itchy Excellent layout of holes. -Plenty of variety- different degrees of woodedness, different kinds of elevation change, right-turning vs. left-turning, etc. -Lots of elevation usage -Fun and challenging -Markings for pro tees. -Each basket has a dash of yellow...

    Review by m1ke in course Four Lakes Recreation

    2.00 star(s) different, and surprisingly fun -Offers a ton of elevation, something which is almost entirely lacking from many of the other 9-holers in the region. -Pleasantly suprising how much challenge the elevation adds, given that most of the holes are very open. -Elevation used moderately well, at least...

    Review by m1ke in course Summit Park

    1.50 star(s) Too much of all trees Challenging and different. -Rubber tee pads; new since last time I played (although the centers have sunk on some of them). -Can be scenic if dry; shady and green, kinda peaceful. -Tight fairways in the middle of thick forest (smaller trees densely packed) make you realize...

    Review by m1ke in course Illinois Institute of Tech DGC

    2.50 star(s) pretty nice urban course Decent variety among holes -Fair number of obstacles; only a couple supereasy holes -Every tee has a bench and a trash can -Next tee signs wherever there's a distance between one hole and the next -Two "el" line stations a couple blocks away make this course very...

    Review by m1ke in course Fort Kearney State Rec. Area

    2.50 star(s) Fine overnight spot for roadtrip Pretty good layout with moderate challenge. -Decent variety among holes with some open and some tight fairways; there's definitely fun to be had and it's a good time -Well maintained; freshly mown grass and baskets in good shape No elevation. -You need to know in...

    Review by m1ke in course Tuthill Park

    3.50 star(s) Lots of fun, definite flaws Interesting landscape flow; course starts at top of hill with lots of elevation change holes, to a long downhill throw and a couple more elevation holes around the foot of the hill, to a bunch of flat holes in the field and around the river, then back up the hill with...

    Review by m1ke in course West Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Excellent course, could use some work Outstanding course design and layout (with one glaring exception; see below). -Lots of elevation here, and utilized very well. -Plenty of variety; up and down to different degrees, multiple degrees of woodedness, varying degrees of technicality, left and...

    Review by m1ke in course Highland Park

    4.50 star(s) Amazing course w/ fixable flaws Outstanding course design; truly exceptional- one of the best I've ever seen. -Tons of elevation, well taken advantage of; shots uphill & downhill (to varying degrees, too), shots across deep ravines, etc. -Good signage, including little stickers on each basket...

    Review by m1ke in course Community Park

    4.00 star(s) Fun, challenging, a little risky Excellent course layout with lots of variety- holes range from mostly open to mostly wooded with varying tightness of fairways. -Plenty of challenge but not too much for beginners. -There's not a whole lot of elevation there to work with, but what little...

    Review by m1ke in course Central Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) A lunchtime regular Ditto all the Pros the first two reviewers said, plus... -Density of wooded areas means this course doesn't lose as much challenge as some courses in winter when leaves are down. -For the area, this course is less waterlogged than most the day after rain. -UPDATE: They've...

    Review by m1ke in course Muse Park

    4.50 star(s) Possibly the best I've ever played Not sure I have much to add beyond what other reviewers have said, but I can reiterate: -Outstanding variety among holes; each one has something interesting to offer. -Truly excellent use of terrain with plenty of elevation change. -Very clear signage; we had...

    Disc Golf Vs. GOLF or Ball Golf

    Count me in as hating the term "frolf" to refer to disc golf. When referring to the original sport I use the term "plain golf," but I'm deliberately using a loaded term in response to several members of our DG group who play both sports and call it "real golf." When explaining DG to someone...

    Review by m1ke in course Shady Oaks Park

    4.00 star(s) Great course design, but flawed Outstanding variety of holes, with plenty of interesting twists; holes on sides of hills, among thick saplings, at bottom of hill in front of creek, on other side of creek from most of fairway, etc. Most fun I've had playing in western suburbs of Chicago. Wet...

    Review by m1ke in course Clark Park

    2.50 star(s) Cramped, but fun Decent variety of holes, with a bit of elevation. I think the challenge level is pretty good; it seemed a little easy at first but I realized that most of the trees were still bare the day I was there. Since there are plenty of trees I bet when they fill out the course becomes...

    Review by m1ke in course Castaldo Park DGC

    2.50 star(s) Nice course, but Poison Ivy Pretty good variety in holes- fun layout. Nice park. New-looking signs and teepads. Poison Ivy, and not just in the brush next to the fairways but actually on the fairways of some later holes, under the big trees. If it was cleared, my rating would go up to a 3...

    Review by m1ke in course Crookston DGC

    1.50 star(s) Decent but unexciting Nice park; well maintained, good facilities. Very little variety- holes mostly go counter-clockwise around edge of park so there's a lot with trees on the right, wide open on the left and/or most of the fairway itself. Flat. Not much challenge on most holes other than...

    Review by m1ke in course Buffalo Ridge Park

    4.50 star(s) Outstanding challenge Ditto on everything the last 4 reviewers said. Hot, but what do you expect in Phoenix? Rocky- I don't recommend throwing DX plastic here if you can help it. VERY hard to navigate first half of course- all signs are knee-height and the heavy scrub which makes the holes such...

    Review by m1ke in course Sunrise Park

    1.00 star(s) So boring I didn't finish Easy. Good if you want to practice distance throws (and don't have any other big empty field handy). INSANELY wide open, and no challenge other than distance. Boring. Out of 20 courses, this is the only course I've ever left w/o finishing because the course made me...
