College Meadows Park is located in the northwest corner of the St. Charles Community College campus but is maintained by St. Charles County Parks and Recreation. The land has good elevation changes for disc golf and is generally well maintained. The site is lightly wooded and a lot of the park is marked as prairie restoration, so there is a lot of tall grass OB areas.

The course has two paved tees per hole, both with good tee signs. There are three pin placements per hole, so there can be some variety to the course from one visit to the next.

There are some cool shots on this course. Hole one has a cool pin placement. Hole three is a fun elevated tee to a protected pin shot. Hole five is an elevated tee shot with some cool pin placements. Hole six has a challenging gap to a blind pin with additional obstacles past the gap. Hole seven is up on a plateau with a cool long pin placement set in a rock outcropping. Hole nine has a sneaky blind water hazard past the pin. It's a fun round.

Wind can be a big factor here as the basket for four, the tee for five, the basket for seven, and all of hole eight and hole nine are up pretty high elevation-wise with not a lot around to serve as a wind break. You have to be ready to deal with that wind.

The land isn't heavily wooded enough to really be challenging. It's fairly easy to at least par the shots, and even if you make a mistake there isn't enough of a challenge here to punish you with more than a bogey. I think the designers did what they could with what they had to work with and made a fun course, but it doesn't stand up against the better courses in the area.

Playing without a map I straight up got lost after hole one and had to wander around looking for the tee to hole two. I then followed the path past hole two to a dead end and had to wander around looking for the tee for hole three. After that I could find my way around, but those two areas could use directional signs to get you to the next tee.

Hole six makes you hit a gap to a blind pin and has a lot of shule. It's a good shot, but playing solo it's easy to lose a disc there.

The long tees on three, six and seven change the tee shot and the long tees on one and eight change the angle of the tee shot. The other four long tees just make the same shot longer.

Tall grass obstacles are a pet peeve of mine, but here the fairways are mowed pretty wide and give you an actual area to shoot at. When you combine the wind and the tall grass it can be frustrating for new and lower skilled players, though.

College Meadows to me is the kind of course I'd like to play in a doubles league at. The shots are fun, there would be plenty of people to spot holes like six and help you find your disc in the tall grass, and you can play two times around from the different tees. That kinda of low-key good-time golf would be perfect for this course. It's a nice park and a fun layout.

- Easy to play if you have a new disc to test
- Never crowded
- Tees are clearly marked
- A good course for new people

- Parts of the OB is high grass and it is hard to find disc
