This was a hard course to rate. On the one hand, it has some good wooded holes, some decent length, and excellent elevation change for this area. When I visited, the tall grasses weren't as much of a factor and some had been cut back. It's unclear if this is a "new normal" or if I just hit it on a good day/at the start of winter. Retrieving discs has clearly been a challenge for some people.

In some ways, this is one of the more unique niners I've played. However, the feel of it is just a little off. The fairways are very narrow and packed tightly together; if there had been other disc golfers during my round it could have made for some concerning shots. Instead, all I got was one completely oblivious course walker.

The equipment here is excellent. It's good to see such nice tees in a park this small. As others have said, finding the course from the road isn't the easiest, and nothing at the course refers to this park as "Linda K. Fischer Park", which doesn't help the confusion. The course is easy to navigate and flows back to the parking lot well. There are both uphill and downhill shots here after holes 1 and 2 which are relatively flat. In particular, hole 7 is a long dogleg left that finishes uphill which is pretty challenging. Note that I was here on a very windy day as temperatures were changing, and the wind will be a major factor on holes 8 and 9 in particular, which are up higher and way out in the open.

This course may be too difficult for most beginners, though some of the grasses being cut back has made it less frustrating. There are a few wooded tunnel shots that will force you to hit your line, though most of the shots are pretty open and mainly incorporate elevation change. You may want a distance driver on a couple of these holes, but for most a fairway driver or midrange does the trick.

Overall, I decided to rate this course a 2 but it is close to a 2.5 for me. I think it was a bit better cleaned up when I played than when others have. I really couldn't come up with that many true cons. For reasons I can't quite decipher, the feel of this course just didn't speak to me. It seems like it should be a pretty cool nine hole course but I think it just felt like too much crammed too tightly together in this little park. When I was here it was deserted, and I do think it's worth trying if you are in the area.

There is a disc golf sign out on Haligus Street. This small course is in a fairly small park with trees, hilly terrain and lots of brushy rough.
There is a nice course map at the beginning with map as well as a nice bench and garbage can. The tee signs show the hole #, par and distance. There are nice sized concrete pads. The baskets have pretty orange rims which say' "Lake In The Hills" and then Rotary Club on them.

There's not a comfortable throw on the course. Every hole is tight and technical or overgrown or bordered by prairie grass or a blind shot with hazards abounding. For a very accurate thrower, the course might be acceptable, as long as you have a spotter or two. Playing by myself, I played extra cautiously and just hustled through my round. And I still had to spend time hunting for discs that were just off the fairway.

# 1 is a 280' low, tight tunnel shot to a visible basket. # 2 is a 345', par, with no visible line to the basket.
# 4 was a 340' downhill annie shot with deep grass on the right.

# 5 is a 210; tight uphill that is overgrown.
# 8 throws 305' down a narrow fairway. The basket sits behind a large, clumpy bush surrounded by tall grass.
# 9 throws back to the beginning down a narrow fairway with tall grass on the left and the Haligus Street on your right.

Tight fairways with tall grass rough.
Overgrown in some places.
Blind shots requiring spotters.
Not a course you want to play alone.
Not beginner friendly.

It's too bad because with some selective pruning and cutting, this could turn into a fun little course. Take away the tall grass and some of these tight holes would be much more enjoyable. I agree with Three Putt that this course is designed for recreational play but recreational players will not enjoy their round here. Without a fairly substantial amount of cutting and mowing, this course will remain languished in mediocrity for the ages.

- Course is set on a small piece of land within a neighborhood. It doesn't seem like there are any other activities going on here, other than a stray pedestrian or someone on a sidewalk. Should be free and clear for DG.
- Patches of woods are present in a few spots to force some lines here, starting with a low ceiling tunnel shot on hole #1 that opens up into prairie. Ending up in the rough before clearing the forest can be a major hazard. #2 has numerous bushes in the fairway, #4 has a gap to hit (or a forest to hyzer over), #6 shoots downhill into the woods with the basket tucked to the right. #5 also has trees on both sides to knock down errant shots.
- The area is situated on and around a decent sized hill, so there are plenty of elevation changes. #3, #5, #7, and #9 all are uphill shots of varying difficulty. #5 is the most dramatic, it is a long 210'. #4, #6, and #8 are all downhill shots, with two over 300'. #6 slopes down quickly in the woods.
- Decent mix of lines and distances here, a lot of RHBH hyzers, but not all. Elevation changes make some hole play a lot longer, like #7 at 335' and #9 at 340'. Should be plenty of distance for all but the biggest arms.
- Great amenities, baskets, signs, and teepads are all top-notch.

- A lot of holes are pretty wide open here, with any line open to the basket. The biggest challenge is usually just staying out of the tall grass. If you have the arm to reach the hole, there will be little to no challenge.
- Tall grass can be a pain, be sure to keep an eye on your shot!

- All in all, a pretty good course that has a good variety. The elevation changes definitely make it; the downhill shots are fun but still tricky, and the uphill shots test distance, with accuracy as well. There are many places to get into serious trouble here, with tall grass, but also with some nasty patches of dense trees/woods. Beginners should take care here to not lose discs, intermediate players should find it fun and challenging.

The course is located in the middle of a subdivision. The land is very surprising for it's location. The course has minor elevation, tall rough, and one hole with water sort of in play. It's really rough and rugged land. This isn't your typical Chicago suburb park.

The flow of the course is pretty good. As long as you get a picture of the map you'll know where you are going. There are no long walks.

It has a really neat small red barn that sits behind basket #3.

Hole 1 is a nice tunnel shot with an option to throw an overhand over the top.

Hole 6 is a short fun downhill shot.

Brand new Innova Discatchers.

Nice tee signs and course map.

Tee pads are cement, level, and plenty large.

The course is very open and I found myself throwing 7 righty hyzers. They could have blocked off the hyzer on #3 by moving the tee pad a little to the right.

I wish they would have put the water into play a little more and added a par 4 hole.

I didn't have problems but beginners are going to hate the rough. They need to mow the fairways a little wider and open up the greens. Some greens have less than 10 feet from the rough.

Overall this is a good addition to the area. Like smyith said I wouldn't drive too far out of the way to play it though.
