This course makes for a perfect pit-stop.
*Solid equipment - Tees and baskets were in good shape
*Mix of shots - I found myself using backhands, forehands, and even a roller or two. A couple holes called for long driver shots, while others were very short
*Beginner friendly - Everything is fairly straightforward and there are relatively safe landing areas for players of any skill level.
*Stroller friendly - no major hills or ravines at this one.
*Scenery - course is in the middle of some wooded areas with a creek running through. Very pretty in the fall!

Several things held this course back from being a perfect niner:
*Hole 9 is very wonky, and the sign is completely inaccurate. It's a 90 degree dogleg right with a weird tunnel option. The sign calls for 370 ft, but there's no way it's more than 270.
*Overall, the course is extremely straightforward and the golf holes are a little bit boring. It would be good to have a few long tees or pins
*Course shares much of the space with a walking path

While not worth going too far out of your way for, this quick nine hole course is a great place to stop while you're visiting Dekalb or traveling through the area.

This is just another of Chicago's famed 9'ers. It's not going to wow you but as you're playing it, you're probably going to have a big smile on your face. It's just that kind of a course. And that's exactly why there were about four other groups playing this afternoon. And on these four groups, not one player was carrying more than 2-3 discs.

The park is just the normal, flat city park found in every village in Illinois. It's flat with scattered mature trees. There's thick, bushy rough bordering some fairways.

The course plays at a very comfortable recreation level. It's no pitch and putt. The course has concrete pads and some of the best tee signs anywhere. They are concrete blocks with a slanted top surface. The signs are imbedded into the concrete making them very difficult for vandals to trash. The baskets are Discatchers with yellow bands. Hole distances vary from a 182 ACE run to a long of 407' across a open expanse of grass.

I thought # 9 was n interesting hole. Overly confident players (make that younger players) can try to cut the corner by trying their hand through a very small window in the trees. Trouble is awaiting those players who fail to throw with pinpoint accuracy.

Intermediate and advanced players won't be challenged.

Course probably "not exciting enough" to hold the attention of some players.

The course is mostly open, sometimes just a tree or two you need to avoid.

Once again, Chicago area rec and beginner players have a wealth of perfect courses awaiting them. This is disc golf nirvana for the player who throws 275' drives and likes to play a variety of courses. If you're an advanced type player who drives 450', you might find yourself driving 450 miles into a neighboring state to seek out a courses that challenges you.

some cool holes
good use of the trees there
path makes it easily accessible on bike
can get crowded/littered with the college nearby

walking path may be a problem
completely flat
some trees have been cut down which makes the holes easier.
some very short holes
bugs can be a problem with forested area and river nearby

cant really complain too much since there isnt much else in the area.
