Perfect par 3 course for beginners.

Scenic.

Low (golfing) traffic, so a great course to practice at alone or with a friend. You don't have to worry about holding people up here.

There are only 9 baskets, with 2 launchpads per basket to make 18 holes (not necessarily a con, but it might get boring for some people).

Holes 9 and 18 can be tricky, as discs may end up in the adjacent baseball field.

A paved walking path runs between the wooded holes, so watch out for people when throwing.

The driveway entrance cuts the course in half.

If you're new to disc golf, look no further than Shore Acres. I like to say that this is where I learned how to play disc golf, a sport that I had given up on until I met a friend from Chillicothe who reintroduced me to the sport.

The course is very basic but sits next to the Illinois River and shares the park with a baseball field, swimming pool complex, tennis courts, and a shelter. Even the wooded portions of Shore Acres are easy, as the trees are tall with only a canopy and few branches that get in your way. It is very hard to lose a disc at Shore Acres.

The course is scenic and well-maintained. It has a porta-potty next to the parking lot and garbage cans as well. If you go to Bradley (as I did) and want to try a new course besides Bradley Park, Shore Acres isn't too far away!

Great memories at Shore Acres, would definitely recommend it especially if you're new to the sport. Basic doesn't mean bad or boring; Shore Acres is a great venue for a quick game with a buddy or just to practice alone!

We had fun here. Park is well kept. Baskets in good shape. Everything is pretty close and easy to navigate around.

Not much of a challenge.

Good course to play if you're in the area. I don't think it's possible to lose a disc here. If you have kids there is also a nice playground in the park and it's easy to push a stroller through this course.
