Pros:

SBHS DGC is the shortest 9 hole course, scratch that, shortest course in general I've ever played. It's located on the west side of the Streamwood Behavorial Health System campus. It's tucked into the lawn area of the western most buliding on the campus. It's a minor miracle that they fit nine holes here. Kind of impressive to be honest.

The baskets are Gateway Titans that were all in good shape and caught nicely. One basket and pin position per hole.

The length of all the holes are under 100 feet. Most of them are just putts. I believe the longest hole was listed as 95 feet. That's not a typo, 95'.

The tee signs are very basic. Hole #, par and distance (distances ARE in feet not meters). There's a basic hole map which is completely unneeded since every basket is less than 100 feet in front of you. Good on them having signs though.

The course is permanent and free to play.


Cons:

It feels like you shouldn't be here. I've played some sketchy courses in my time but this one just felt like I REALLY shouldn't be here. So much so that we speed played it. I think we were only there for 15 minutes max.

The course is essentially just putts. The course should be played with your putting putter. That's all you'll need here. I've never seen a course like this before. I thought it was missing a digit when I saw the course length and under 1000'.

No signature holes, nothing memorable even besides the sheer miniture nature of this design.


Other Thoughts:

I would recommend giving this one a shot due entirely to the uniqueness of the course itself. I've played well over 800 courses and this is one of the most unique ones I've ever seen. Is it a good course. Absolutely not, not even close. It's so bad that it's a borderline must play though, if that makes sense.
