Thanks Countchunkula...still might try Campton because I don't get down to that area often and I am going to be in Wheaton anyways.

I'd really like to knock both of them out tomorrow, just depends on how the kid cooperates.

It's gonna be a big pain in the ass, but if you've gotta play it...

I took my little guy to a few non-stroller friendly courses in Cali. It didn't go well. At napa we ended up carrying the baby and sometimes the stroller.

75+ and sunny tomorrow :hfive: if your not at Streator playing at least get out and enjoy the weather. Goodluck to everyone tomorrow!

make sure you check yourself for ticks once your done at campton. Ive got one on me from there this year and batavia is rly bad with ticks is what ive heard

 

[JC AceHole]

I am considering Campton Hills in St. Charles and/or Four Lakes in Lisle tomorrow. It looks like both have plenty of elevation, but they are also relatively short, even for our area.

Are they stroller friendly? Any info/recent change updates not listed on the course page would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :thmbup:

I agree a stroller will suck at either one. If ur gonna be out by campton the new course at Batavia might be a better option. It's mostly flatter but I think its a solid course

 

[ztrain]

Batavia, Wheeler and West Chicago are quite a bit more stroller friendly than Campton.

Are the hills comparable to Napa?

If so, that would kinda suck but it's only 9 holes.

Considering Batavia, but that looks even farther out of the way.

 

[mashnut]

Steeper and rougher than Napa, but much smaller.

 

[jasonc]

Well, yous guys convinced me to skip Campton.

We made it through Four Lake without any problems. The view from the top of the ski hill was nice. Not quite on the same level as a Dela or Coyote Point top of the world view, but the kid and the dog had fun up there.

I really wanted to bomb a few down to the bottom, but there were too many people hanging around and playing volleyball. Maybe next time...

 

[mashnut]

That was the (most) disappointing thing about that course, there's no payoff hole for climbing all the way to the top.

[RPS2012]

I really hope this isn't true, but I just got word that eagle ridge is about to get a major overhaul from the parks department. Apparently all the ash trees are going to be cut down (emerald ash borer). This is really going to suck as it is one of my favorites in the chicago area. Hopefully the course can be salvaged.........Does anybody have any more info on what exactly is going to take place there? Their are an awful lot of ash trees around there...........


:thmbdown:

Sucks that they now have cement in there, cause that makes a redesign/tweaks tough(er).

I believe SR. Has been talking with the park District about what they are going to do to replace the trees but I have no clue =/ Its gonna suck some major bawls once they do everything to it but hopefully it wont be too bad =/

You can move concrete pads, it just takes a lot of people and a lot of work. The timing is unfortunate though.
