This is a very nice park in typical Illinois style open fields, yet there are a few well placed trees and shrubs that actually create a few doglegs and interesting flight paths that make for fun throws.

There are a fair variety of right and left doglegs. Very minimal major trouble make for ample birdie opportunities for novices while more realistically keeping advanced players shooting for a 2 or 3 on every hole.

Nice park office where scoredards, maps, pens, and rental discs are available for free.

Grounds are well maintained and tee boxes are ample and paved with hole posts with bag hangers to make navigation a breeze.

There isn't too much variation in hole length or style. Other than hole 12, most all are pretty open. While 12 is heavily wooded and perhaps my favorite hole, it does lack a well defined path and could benefit from selective tree pruning.

Grounds were a bit uneven, it was easy to step in deep holes due to the leaf cover. I imagine this would be less of a problem had I played in spring or summer.

Par is far too generous for any but novice players.

Overall for a fairly fun track. Not terribly difficult but a fun and enjoyable walk. Well maintained park especially for such a small community.

Review updated to correct typo.

-good change in course style between front nine and back nine. Front nine has some elevation and plays through mature trees with a good mix of shot variety and length, back nine is a bit longer, more open with slight elevation changes.
-A couple of holes here (5 and 8) have trees just off the teepad that take away the obvious rhbh line, which is nice because it makes you think about the shot and choose the best line on the hole.
-A lot of shot variety here, some slight rhbh hyzers and anhyzers balanced with straighter shots.
-Hole 11 is a tightly wooded hole, downhill to a pin on the side of a hill, nice hole.
-I felt like a lot of these holes were weave type holes where you have to throw a nice S curve to shoot the hole correctly; examples 1, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12.

-Navigation was my biggest issue here, there are no tee signs and I didn't print the map out so pretty much I had to wander around around a bit to start getting the flow. Biggest issues were hole 1 teepad, hole 5 teepad, hole 10 tee (across the road up by the playground), hole 17 tee (behind the lookout bench left of 16's fairway.) These weren't huge problems as I've had bigger problems with marked courses before, but it was annoying. Even just putting the hole number on the pad would have helped. Luckily the baskets all had number plates on them.
-Parking is a bit ambiguous, I drove around a bit, trying to find 1's tee, and there is very little parking up by the start.
-I didn't see any bathrooms or drinking fountains.
-A couple of holes 13, 14 were a bit too open, but they had some slight elevation to correct for that.
-It's a shame that the lake wasn't brought into play here, 18 plays along it, but no risk involved

Overall, I really enjoyed this course, a lot of variety here and it's empty so you aren't overrun by college chuckers like you are at the campus course. The shots here are better than a 3 rating, but the navigation issue is annoying enough to knock it down a half disc.
-do yourself a favor and print out the map before playing here, and if you've seen 4's pin (at the curve in the road at everly park) as you are driving around looking for the first tee, you've gone too far, go back up the hill until the edge of the ravine. There you'll find 1's tee. Happy hunting.

Solid layout with a good mix of shots. Fun course overall. Nice city park. Well-maintained. Far enough away from WIU to be a quiet, pleasant round.

No tee signs! The walk from 9's basket to 10's tee is quite long. Holes a bit too long in spots. One or two tees too close to previous basket, which could have been avoided by shortening hole a bit.

First half of the course is in a moderately wooded city park, playing up and down gentle hills. Very nice, and a good mix of short and long. Back 9 is across the street. There's no danger in crossing, but the walk is too long. Move your car, then play the back 9. Back 9 starts strong then plays through a tight, wooded gauntlet (fun contrast) into a less-mature but still well-groomed portion of the park. These holes are solid, but a little less interesting. Overall a good course, but the absence of tee signs is inexplicable. Print out the course map and take it with you or you will leave the course angry. A few bucks spent on tee signs could raise the rating on this course by a full point.

Very beautiful scenery throughout a variety of holes that start tight with a moderate covering of mature trees and change in relief and obstacles and finish with some long chalenging open holes with freshly planted trees. Accessable shelters/picnic areas, restrooms, and several water fountains.

Space primarily park area and secondarily a disc golf course. Thus poor layout and spacing between holes make navigation difficult without maps. Back half long and wide open, discs susceptible to unforgiving winds that make holes arduous and perceptively unrewarding. Some holes boarder lush forests with poison ivy and thorns.

A hometown gem yet to be discovered by very many WIU students. One of my favorites!
