I played this course at dawn on a Saturday morning . The course is located near the pool on the right side of the park as you come in . You will see a disc golf sign posted where the first hole is . The course has okay baskets , natural tee pads with yellow toe boards , many with 2 sets of tees . The park itself has a lot of activities , but shouldn't interfere with your game , if you are careful throwing at a couple of roads on the back 9 . The bathrooms are situated a hundred feet to the right of the first tee . There are no trash cans on the course , so please carry out what you carry in . Navigation will be almost impossible without a map . Some of the baskets do have printed signs on the top of them with NEXT TEE pointing in the direction of the next toe board . The first 8 holes wander around and back and forth in the woods where you tee off from . Some creative lines were formed for this course , so you will have to shot shape a bunch . Some of the tees have laminated signs at the toe boards showing distance and approximate location of the basket . You will have a nice throw over a pond on 9 . to an elevated basket on the other side , guarded by trees and their canopy protecting it . The course does have elevation on both the front and back 9 . The grass is cut and most fairways taken care of on the back 9 . Some pretty cool configured holes on 16 , 17 & 18 . Signature hole would be 17 , an S drive downhill over a creek protected by a hill on it's right . You will be protected by shade on most of this course . Plenty of parking available in the park

#1 , I have never been a fan of toe boards . They are dug up , or covered up , and hard to see . #2 IF you fail to print a map , it's on you for the next 18 holes . Several times you will see a toe board and it will be for a later hole . Since there are only a couple of tee signs on the front 9 , you will not always know which way to throw from , or where to . #3 . Weeds . Although the fairways were cut okay in most spots , the weeds were a little high on several holes ( 4 & 16 come to mind ) . This course can play short the better players . Short tees were great for newbies . There are places where you don't know if you are at the Long or short tees , especially on the front 9 . #4 This can be treacherous after a good rain . Places on this course will hold water , especially on the front 8 and near the creek on the back 9 , where the grass is scarce , making the fairways slippery .#5 . The course may not be receiving a lot of love from the local disc club , because I ran into some spider webs while retrieving a bad drive or 2 . Understandable , since Lincoln Park is only a half hour or so away . #6 . Make sure you watch your drive's path . Again , the weeds are high in some spots and you don't want to lose a disc or spend a lot of time looking for a drive that ricochets off a tree . #7 . If you are a traveler like me and you finish up on 18 , and you parked at hole 1 , you are going to be a little disoriented as to where your car is . It starts and finishes in different parts of the park , and you definitely will not see your car . When you look for the basket at #11 , it is way down toward the pond . Don't throw straight away , or you will be all turned around for the next 4 holes .

I don't know what to think of this course . I am okay with the shorter length , and even the higher grass in spots . Hole 4 could be a great hole is it was cleared . Holes 8, 9 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 15 ,16 , 17 & 18 are definitely keepers as are several of the others if they had rubber or gravel tee pads . The course was originally installed in 2004 , so there has been 14 years to have this course fixed up some . It almost looks as if some of this course was just given up on . Potential ? Yes . . I would like to return in the future to see if tee pads are ever installed and the course is cleaned up , driving up my review at least a point . At this time , I would tell you to drive past and go to another park .
