- every hole is technically challenging
- every hole is different and challenges you to use different shots
- easy enough for beginners to have fun, challenging enough for experienced players trying to birdie
- some of the best elevation change in the Chicago area
- staircases in good repair where needed
- well-maintained course with woodchip-covered fairways
- baskets all in good repair with good chain coverage

- signage is very basic, and signs for holes 7 and 8 are missing
- tees are square instead of the standard rectangle and though concrete, are a bit short
- no benches at any of the holes, not that big a deal but might be nice to have a place to take a break for some people with all the elevation change
- navigation to holes 8 and 9 is slightly confusing, but it's a small enough course to figure it out without much trouble
- every hole is short
- no alternate tees and only 9 holes

This is one of my favorite courses in the Chicago area. I think my 3.5 is pushing towards the generous side, but I've always loved this course and ultimately decided it deserved more than a 3 for its unique qualities. As reviewers have noted, it is quite short, and unfortunately only 9 holes. What I love is that all of them are different and they are all technically challenging. If you want to test your distance, you will be disappointed by this course. However, it will challenge you to make a lot of different shot types. This course is relatively easy, but it can punish you if you miscalculate due to all of the elevation change and obstacles.

I think the course has been improved a bit over the years - there are more legitimate staircases than I remember from previous years. Any place where there were dicey walks up or down to a basket seem to have a true staircase as an option now. I can see how some of the other paths would get "interesting" when it got muddy. The fairways are covered with woodchips and aren't muddy. Even though you're in the middle of the woods, it's not so overgrown that it's difficult to find discs. I really enjoy this - the fairways can be tight and challenging, but if you miss you can find your disc easily most times.

There are uphill and downhill shots, level shots, places you can see the basket and places you can't, even with the short holes. I just love the variety and how well they've used the fairly limited space.

Hole 9 is one of my favorites and looks like a blind shot, but it's actually pretty easy to land right next to the basket if you throw a decent 200-250' drive straight off of the tee. Given the short distance and the large drop in elevation, it may be desirable to throw down to limit distance/fade.

A few warnings - bring your bug spray! This may go without saying but the mosquitoes can be thick. I haven't come across ticks but it wouldn't surprise me if they're around too. Also, we showed up at about 7:45 AM this time and the parking lot gate was locked. There's no signage indicating when it is unlocked, but it was open by about 8:45 AM. We parked about a block away but this means you have to walk down a (not too busy) road where cars come by at 50 MPH with no shoulder... not ideal.

All in all, I love this course despite how short it is. It might be nice to have a few longer holes, but I enjoy the technical challenge. Like a previous reviewer said, it's a great place to bring new players to see how fun disc golf can be - I have employed this method several times.

Campton is a great place to frolf. There's never too many people there, so for the most part you don't have to worry about being rushed and what not. Not really the place for beginners, but If you know how to get around your obstacles this will be great! There's a couple holes that DEFIANTLY have ace potential. Hole 2 If I were to guess without peeking on the par info would be 140'. So it's not too bad.

There's only 9 holes, but that's fine cause you can go as many times as you'd like!

Tough forest course provides excellent opportunity to practice touch. Good upkeep. Easy access and easy to find times to go where its not too crowded.

A lot of forest

Might lose a couple if not prepared.
