- ample parking
- some neat water hazards
- lots of potential for cool technical play on wooded holes

- could only find 4 remaining baskets
- some of the worst catching baskets I've ever played
- unrealistically narrow and winding fairways
- super overgrown in wooded holes with virtually no maintenance
- very rough off the narrow fairways, and wooded area attracts mosquitoes
- tee posts for several holes missing
- no information on tee posts besides hole number
- natural tees
- hard to find since tee post for hole 1 is missing
- every hole is very short
- pretty much entirely flat

As other reviewers have said, it's cool the church wants to promote disc golf. That's about the only positive thing I can say here. It seems like this was a more decent course a few years ago, but it's clear there has been zero upkeep for several years besides the very, very occasional mow.

This one was close to getting one of my rare 0.0 ratings, but I guess technically there is still part of a functional course here. It ended up being a very quick round for me since only 4 baskets remain (1, 3, 4, 6) that I was able to find. One or two more may have been swallowed by the woods, I'm not sure. With tee signs missing and natural tees, it is not easy to locate anything. The holes are so short that navigation becomes an issue too since with tee posts missing you aren't sure which basket goes with which hole. I was probably only here for 20-25 minutes and the first 5 were trying unsuccessfully to locate a post for hole 1.

Hole 1 throws around a pond (or over, if you want to, but the plants surrounding the pond have choked off this route a bit). Supposedly there's another small pond in the woods but I never caught sight of it, so it isn't really in play. You enter a more wooded area for hole 4, and after that proceed to hole 6... not sure where hole 5 went. It's almost as if this course was a human exposition upon visiting an alien planet where we dropped baskets randomly on unsuspecting life forms to see what they would make of them and observe what developed organically, like some cool science/sociology experiment. I suppose there is some science going on here anyway - one of the baskets had some intense thorny plants growing up through the basket. I guess it helps catch discs since there's only one very weak layer of chains in these baskets.

The wooded holes COULD be really cool if they were cleaned up a bit and made more realistic. They are so tight and overgrown, plus having turns, it's hard to have any real line or even know where you're supposed to throw. Similarly, the rough is brutal and hasn't been cleaned up at all.

Natural tees are never the ideal substrate, but on a course like this I wouldn't really expect much else. Still, it makes it that much harder to find baskets when posts are missing. The baskets here rate as some of the worst I've ever used - I don't know where they even got chains like this. They don't make a clink when you hit them, they are almost silent. It is kind of a criminal offense against the sport of disc golf to not offer up better chain banging.

While there is some potential here, my general feeling during play was "very frustrated." What kills me about courses like this is - WHY go to the effort to put in a course if you aren't going to maintain it at all? In many cases, it's probably a group of people who care about disc golf, then move on, and nobody picks up the slack. Otherwise, it's hard to explain. Of all the 9 holes (if you can call it that) in the Chicago area, this is one of the absolute worst and that's saying something. Unless you absolutely insist on bagging every course out there, skip this one and you'll have a more enjoyable day.
