Most miss the point of this course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 20, 2007 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Ball golfers might remember that most metro areas had "pitch + putt" courses that you played with a wedge a putter and the long hole might require a 7 iron if you had no distance in your shots. That is what this is. So when judging it judge it for the short game practice facility it is and looking at in that light it succeeds quite well. The ideal use of this course would be play this get warmed up then drive the mile and a half and play Sinnissippi which is one of the better courses in the state.

Cons:

Holes are bunched together tightly so be aware of other players. NOT a destination course unless used in conjunction with Sinnissippi and Genseo.

Other Thoughts:

If this was in metro Chicago close to some decent courses it would be used constantly day and night. As is it is out in the middle of IL

Pros:

Holes are close together great for practicing short throws.Easy to find the next hole.

Cons:

Can be a little harder near playground equipment.Plus if roles to the right too far will lose Frisbee in the river.

Other Thoughts:

My best there is a 43 par, but haven't played too long.

Putt Putt in Rock Falls, IL 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 24, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice little park and short course. The trees have arrows on them telling you which basket it the right one. very easy to follow. Signs for every hole. A quick round of 18 holes

Cons:

Dirt tees, Hole 2 or 3 plays over a playgroud. And Basket 18 is very near the parking area. I was worred about hitting a car.

Other Thoughts:

I know a lot of players will not like this course as it is very short, as a lot don't like the course around here that is 200ft to 325ft.
We only used a putter and had a good time playing here. There is a shelter house here at the front that was getting busy when we were leaving. They were getting ready to have a family reunion so the park maybe busy during the warmer months.
