- 2 tees per basket, although i felt the added interest was limited
- well maintained park for the most part: mowed and clean
- nice incorporation of wooded area on the side of the park for holes 5-9

- gravel tees
- most baskets are very basic and have rusted chains and shallow baskets
- no maps on tee signs
- limited amenities: no benches, maybe 1 garbage can, etc.
- heavy undergrowth and lack of an actual line in places
- smell from creek is noticeable on holes 2 and 3

This course is maybe a 1.75 for me. I feel like it has potential but just doesn't really have a wow factor in any way. They have it labeled as an 18 hole course, but it's not - it's a 9 hole course with short and long tees. Most of the setup here is as basic as possible - a wood post with hole number and distance, low quality baskets, and not much else. Navigation wasn't wholly straightforward but can be figured out without too much trouble. A course map could be helpful.

The gravel tees leave a bit to be desired. I think I would prefer natural. As others have noted, some of these tees end up feeling like you're trying to drive off of a sand pit, and footing isn't great. I did enjoy some of the wooded holes, but with a little work to make some actual lines this course could be better.

Holes 1 and 2 were pretty basic, open shots with limited tree obstacles. Hole 3 is a nice shot down a narrower fairway, but the rough growth to the right is thick - I was hunting for a disc in there for a long time. Hole 6 is where things start to get a little more irritating - the tee is literally right against the woods - bumping it out 5 feet would be so much better. You're basically throwing a shot from out in the open into the woods but with no real opening in the wooded edge to cut in. I feel like it's purely luck if you drive through the trees and isn't emphasizing any particular skill. Hole 7 and 8 play much more reasonably through the woods, but on 9 you are throwing back out of the woods into the open, and again, lots of potential here, but it's so overgrown there's no real line to follow. I think if some of these holes were cleaned up a bit this course could be a lot better.

The park was generally nice and clean, although Hole 8's tee sign was missing. If I was in the area I might come back and play this course, and I think with a few improvements it could be fun. It's certainly not going to provide an immense challenge (except where there currently is no line at all), but for a quick round it's alright.

The course was redesigned from a very short crammed in 18 holer to a 9 hole course with a little more room and dual tees. The tees numbered 1-9 play fairly short, and are mostly beginner friendly. The holes numbered 10-18 are a bit longer on the open holes, and offer slightly trickier lines on the wooded portion of the course. There is an ok mix of different shots required, though if you have a straight shot in your bag you'll be pretty successful. There are 4x4 posts at each tee with the hole number and distance, and the baskets are all visible from the tees so more detailed hole signage isn't all that necessary. The course flows well, and is pretty easy to follow. The tees have been improved over the old layout.

Despite these improvements, however, the tees are still pretty bad. They're framed and filled, and most are pretty rutted out and eroded. The baskets are old and in poor shape, many don't catch all that well. There aren't any really interesting holes here, it's slightly better than many of the other boring Chicago 9ers, but it's not one to choose over the other Joliet area courses.

Beginners will find the short tees very approachable, there are some tight lines on the few wooded holes but punishment is limited for inaccurate shots. The longer tees provide a little more challenge for intermediate players, better players won't find a whole lot of real tests here. I think the redesign makes this course significantly safer, it plays much better as a 9 holer with some buffer between holes than as an 18 shoved into a small area.
