Glenview, Illinois - new 10-holer!

[mashnut]

The first three holes were a pleasant surprise, it was fun to check it out with you guys today. Those tees are really awful though.

 

[juanbond]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the woodchip tees at all... Probably brick tees next year, I hope!

 

[mashnut]

I just put up a review, I put in there that better tees would easily raise my rating a half disc.

The baskets were glittering like diamonds on my drive up to work today. I should have a warm fuzzy feeling at least once a day now because of that.

Are they/you planning on leaving the baskets in year round, do you know?

 

[mashnut]

Nice, can you see some of them from 294? That would be good exposure for the sport.

 

[notapro]

Oh yeah, for sure. #8 is the most prominent, and a few others are visible.

You gotta be looking for them of course.

 

[juanbond]

Nice, guys, thanks for the reviews! Honestly, given the course's current conditions, an average of 1.5 stars was about what I had expected. Hopefully by next summer we'll improve some things...brick tees, trim some rough, alternate pins, and some landscaping.

 

[juanbond]

Course record as far as we know is currently 26 (-4). Nice, notroman!

 

[notapro]

Stopped by earlier today, teesigns are now on wooden posts, and there are markers around the practice basket. That was fast! :thmbup:

First round I birdied 1, 2, 9, and 10... But got a 5 on 3. Oops...

 

[mashnut]

Wow, that is quick!

 

[whitechocolate]

I'll be out here 4:30-5pm today for a couple rounds before running over for a poker night in Des Plaines. I will be the guy carry a blue/grey Silverback. PM me before 4PM if you want me to watch you.

Look what popped up first on my semi-regular Google News search for disc golf:

I made it out there on Friday. Besides the woodchip teepads, it's not bad. I used the grass next to the pads where possible. The orange baskets are nice. :thmbup:

Plenty of room for alternate teepads out there as well. I am looking forward to seeing how this course develops over the next few years.

I played it last week It's a nice place. The only two things I disliked was the tee pads as others stated and I hated hearing the noise of 294 the whole time I was shooting.

I'm worried that the area around all the pads is going to turn into gross mud from the erosion of people throwing from next to them.

 

[jasonc]

That is possible, but there isn't much time left this year for considerable wear and tear. Hopefully the planned brick teepads will be installed early in 2012.

 

[mashnut]

Are they pulling the baskets for the winter? The snow melting times are going to be the hardest on that grass if they don't.

 

[jasonc]

Good question. I think Mr. Juanbond or one of the other course designers may be able to answer that.

I just remember reading about the planned brick paver teepads from the OP.
