- reasonably sized concrete tees
- picnic tables, garbage cans, port o potties
- well maintained park
- moderately wooded with some decent elevation change on a few holes
- numbers on baskets
- very beginner friendly
- very quick round of 18 if you want to do something quick
- navigation is pretty straightforward until the last few holes
- some minor water hazards come into play on a few holes

- baskets are pretty basic
- some safety hazards with holes throwing very close to each other and close to the road
- very short (I enjoy this sometimes but some people do not)
- mandos are not clearly marked and are hard to follow
- no next tee signs
- pretty open and repetitive holes from 13-18, and navigation becomes less clear
- tee signs are very basic

This course probably wouldn't blow most people away, but if you keep in perspective that this is an older, simpler quick-paced 18 hole course, it can be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed my round. It's probably one of the quickest 18 hole courses I've played, and it's pretty low key and beginner friendly. There is still enough challenge to play for birdies if you are experienced. Some holes are fairly wooded and will require some accuracy to make up for the fact that your driver may barely leave your bag.

My biggest issue here is the safety factor. 1-2 holes (3 and 4 in particular) play really close to the road into the park. While this is usually deserted, it really isn't the best. In addition, the short nature of the course means a lot of these short holes are compressed back to back and the risk of hitting someone at the next tee is high in some areas. There were a fair number of people here playing when I passed through, so it's something to look out for.

Amenities were pretty good here, with sitting areas and garbage cans around the park as well as port o potties. The baskets and tee signs were both very basic. They're perfectly serviceable except for the mandos which I didn't find clear at all. Some next tee signs or more detailed maps could be helpful, but navigation followed a pretty clear course until the end. On the last 6 holes, the layout isn't completely intuitive and does a lot of back and forth in an open area. I saw multiple people confuse by this including myself.

Besides the compressed nature of the course, there aren't really other activities around to interfere with disc golf. I don't think I'd go out of my way to play this course, but it's definitely worth trying and if I was nearby I think I'd come back. Some days I don't want the 5 star course, I just want a casual, fun, quick round which Shorewood definitely provides. To me, this is a perfect course to grow the sport. I saw several beginner-level families out here and this course is easy enough to not get frustrated but also shows how unique disc golf can be. It has some woods, some open areas, some elevation change, some minor water hazards, and yet despite all of this it's very forgiving and the rough is not really a factor for the most part. I wish we had a few more courses like this around.

-really easy to find holes
-easy navigation
-fun to throw with friends or by yourself

-muddy if any rain comes in at all
-sometimes it is littered with trash.
-doesnt offer TOO much challenging throws

-This is a typical old school style disc golf course, Lots of short but technical holes with some holes in a more open field setting.
-Concrete pads are in good condition, All baskets are in good shape, plenty of trash cans and there is a port-o-potty at the parking lot.
-While most holes require a well executed straight shot there are a few holes that require some shot shaping. Enough fairway obstacles to make almost all the holes interesting and fun.
-Good potential for aces.
-Good course for players of various skill levels. This would be a great course for a beginner to learn the sport of disc golf and yet more experienced players will still find enough challenge here to make for a fun round.
-Navigation is very straightforward and the course has good flow to it.
-Close in proximity to some other very good courses making this course ideal for a quick warmup round before playing some of the bigger, badder J-Town courses.

-There is a lot of course stuffed into a relatively small space. When busy this course could be a little hairy, fairways overlap and some teepads are too close to the last hole's basket.
-Signs are in very poor condition and most are completely unreadable.
-Course can be very muddy after any kind of precipitation.
-Couple holes shoot wayyyy to close to the road. While you probably wont hit any cars, Plastic and pavement do not get along well.
-The course does lack a lot of what I really like about disc golf, which is peace and quiet in a nicely wooded setting. The highway is close and the course is surrounded with industrial style buildings and lots.

This course was a fun play and I did enjoy playing here but it is a little too short for my likings. I threw a lot of mids and putters with a couple drivers on the open field shots.

Like I said earlier in my review, there are a bunch of other awesome courses that are all close to this course which make this course awesome for a quick warmup round.

7-11 at 59 and jefferson has a small selection of discs. Even better than that, Aces and chains which is at jefferson and larkin is a dedicated disc golf store and it is on the way to west park.

-Concrete Tees
-Chainstar Baskets
-Wooded/Open Playing
-Techinal Game Play

-Swampy when rainy
-Crammed Baskets
-Short Holes

Great course for beginners or just a quick round. West Park and Channahon, must plays if in the area.

The course is laid out with a lot of trees and technical shots. If you hit a tree or end up with a bad shot, you can still usually pull a par or bogey, which could be a con to some of you "pros." The lack of distance and a lot of tree cover made it very girlfriend friendly on a 95 degree day

Not enough variety. it's technical but too short imo. I like to be able to throw for distance sometimes, I usually don't driver over 250 so its n ot that big of a deal, but I would have enjoyed a few 400+ holes

It's the last turn before you are stuck on 55 South, so be sure you see the tiny westbound driveway leading into the park, or else you'll be seeing St. Louis signs pretty quickly. I heard there are a lot of bugs after rain, and since it's a wooded course, be sure to be prepared with some off.

TEchnical little course tucked right off I 55

-great use of the land offered
-creek comes into play_wicked little paths
-unique mandos marked by yellow ribbons on trees #2, 4, 5, 8, 16- w/ drop zones
-good balance of rights and lefts, more tight than open
-numerous tees designated on a majority of the holes
-will test versatility in the short game
-signs and concrete white tees, natural reds

-very short, lack of distance -lots of putters from the tee
-gets nasty swamped after rain, under canopy of trees
-certain tees are close to previous holes' flight paths, keep your head up
-shorewood pigs like to pull thru and flex their little peckers once and again

Fun park to chill down brews and ace runs.

Can get crowded but plays pretty quick, central location with numerous great courses in the area

This is a very technical course. It has many holes that require many different shots. Hole number one is a longer sloping right curve, great for RHFH. There are several holes that are virtual straight shots through trees, but elevation changes make them all feel very unique. It's a very good course for beginners to hone their skills. The mandos serve to make the course more technical. None of them are excessively far from the natural lines in the course, really they seem to deter from people taking lucky throws through lots of trees and throwing an open line.

The course is pretty short. The longest hole being right around 340 ft. This can leave it dissatisfing for many strong armed players. It can also get pretty muddy during rainy times.

This was the course I learned to play on first, and its great just for that. The shorter, technical shots are perfect for teaching control with mids and putters.

Course has a nice layout with a good variety of holes. Everything is pretty open and easy to follow with some more challenging acable holes as well as some long hyzer shots. There is a lack of flatness on most of the holes, which is a good change of pace from most of the other courses around.

The course is well maintained and has great tee boxes. Additionally the course hasn't ever been busy when I have been here.

This course is great for any skill level and is easy to follow around, there really isn't a need for markings as the course flow is laid out quite well.

Although it is a nice course, it really isn't overly impressive. Holes are laid out in a casual fashion and don't offer much of a challenge for more skilled players. Aftrer a while straight shots through the woods are all the same.

A couple of times I have come here and it has been really muddy, but as with any course, just watch conditions before heading out.

Good beginner course with variety, fun tee shots and up and downs. If you're in the area its worth the stop, you wouldn't want to pass it up. But if you're looking for a challenging course, this just isn't it.

This is a small park where the course plays into some nice wooded areas and utilizes the open space. See the link below for hole by hole photos.

This is a very short course with some variety. The mandos are interesting and there are quite a few. You need some trick shots and forehand to score well on this course. A forehand cut roller can pick up a few birdies.

There are Sort/Long tees. Not all have Longs. Concrete for 1 set.

Pretty easy to navigate.

It's minutes off I55.

Very short and lacks challenge for more skilled players.

If you go during prime hours it can get congested with baskets being close to tees.

Course can be muddy after rain.

This course is located right off I55 and will not take long to play. I'd consider playing Channahon instead of this course if you have the time.

fair for left and right handed. mando on hole 2 is challanging. lot of ace runs out here good course to learn on

other then hole 2 not to challanging of a course,

fun and can get a round done in 45 min. near the highway be a good trip hit 6 disc golf courses within 10 miles

Nice short course. Challenging without having any truly long holes. Heavily wooded, especially 3-6 and holes 9-10.

Muddy! Most tees are cement, but mud surrounds them in springtime. Bring your mud shoes. Very few long holes.

Overall a nice course to play when you don't have a lot of time, your working on your short game and tight shots, or you prefer not to play a long course. I learned on this course, which was great, but I no longer find it very challenging.

Nice course, requires a good amount of skill with some fairly tight shots. Challenging and not too long, with a good mix of wooded and open shots. Nice use of space, decent flow. Holes are fairly well marked.

Some holes are a little too close to both the road and the parking lot. Was very crowded when we played on a Friday afternoon, and that hampered our play. The dried up creek that runs through the first few holes was EXTREMELY muddy, so you can run the risk of dirtying up your disc or shoes pretty bad. You run the risk of getting confused, especially on the later holes - we accidentally skipped a hole altogether.

There is nothing extraordinary about this course, and there isn't anything too bad either. The entrance could be very easy to miss from 59, so I was glad to be with someone who had played there before. Shorewood is a fun little course that I'd be glad to play again.

Works on hitting lines and accuracy to get to the hole.

Mostly dense woods with a few more open holes.

Signs were okay, tee pads and baskets were good as well.

Old school course. Very short and compact. Provides some interesting tight shots that you may not see on other courses in the area.

Located in a small, but nice park just for disc golf.

Not many holes to really drive on, more of mid-range approach and putt shots.

Hard to find the first time. Just really keep an eye out for a small Shorewood park sign at the entrance to the place.

Road not too much of an issue as the people using it are disc golfers coming and going and driving slowly. Just be aware.

The length of this course doesn't take away from the fun or playability of it. It is all about accuracy and rewards well put discs and punishes slightly miss placed throws (by like 1 stroke since it is so short). It is a fun course and is near by to some other good courses like Channahon, West Park, and Highland Park. I come by to play here once or twice every year.

Well maintained and nice calm atmosphere. Course was well marked and had nice concrete tees. The course itself is mostly short with a good variety of left, right, and straight shots. Includes some doglegs and uses the creek on some shots.

The baskets were pretty old so they weren't the best to putt on. Other than that I can't really think of much.

Overall it was a fun, well maintained course. It wasn't too crowded, which is nice. We played Community Park right after this one and we were much more impressed with that one.
