Best park style golf in the area 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 31, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The teepads are some of the best you will see. They are perfect size. (Width, Length)

Great mix of shots

Amazingly manicured

Cons:

No long bomber shots

Busy during peak hours in season

Other Thoughts:

This is one of the best courses in the area especially for beginners. There are virtually no places to lose discs because it's flat, manicured, park golf. All the holes are sub 350 making it the perfect par 54 course. I would take anyone here from new to veteran players. Every hole offers a unique approach and most give you the option for a choice of different lines. Forehand, backhand, and rollers can be utilized here. Even when I'm playing poorly I have fun at Wheeler park!

Fantastic! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 15, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

1. Variable holes, everything is different. (Some flat, some clear, some in the woods, some are elevated).
2. Legit bathrooms. The girls in our group appreciated that.
3. Not too crowded, even on a Saturday afternoon.
4. You can buy discs at the mini golf course
5. Baskets were all in great shape.

Cons:

No next tee signs. Missing 2 concrete tee pads.

Updated review: They added another concrete tee pad on #4. Still missing 2 other tee pads.


Other Thoughts:

I loved this course, and it's right next to Penrose Brewery, which is a great spot to grab a pint after. I'll definitely return to this course.

About the House Score Cards 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

They offer free score cards at an entrance booth.

Cons:

It would be nice if the scorecards had the course design printed on them because the course keeps changing its layout. The score cards (unless they've been corrected in the interim) show hole 16 as a 3 and the course as par 66. The hole is actually a 4 (and is marked so at the hole), and the course is a par 67. Also, because the course design keeps changing, it is too easy to go to the wrong hole, especially when it used to be the right one. Clearer marking would be helpful.

Other Thoughts:

This is a very nice course, overall. If I were in charge, I'd space the holes farther apart on the front nine so they don't crisscross so much, and then I'd put in some permanent tees, preferably concrete or rubber tire compound.

Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 28, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

Variety of terrains and some fun obstructions. Pads seemed in good shape and the posts had informative 'mini-maps' that made identifying the hole easier for first timers. Also, for mobile phone users, a map is available on the Geneva Park District Website: http://www.genevaparks.org/fa...isc_golf.html

Cons:

The course was a little tight with two holes very near each other. A couple of times we had to double-check which hole we were shooting for. On one of the holes (15 I think), the post had been pulled, but we just replaced it and propped it up.

Other Thoughts:

For a relative novice (I've only played a few different courses), this course had some really fun holes and was a great time. We played on a Saturday morning, started around 7:30am and there were only a handful of other players on the course. It didn't seem overly crowded.

Picture Perfict!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 7, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

An amazingly well maintained course, that in my opinion rivials some of the best Ball golf courses I've played. This course offers the perfict balance of challenging holes and long wide open holes to grip and let the disc rip that what ever your favorite part of DG is you will be satisfied. This course is well laid out and for the most part it is easy to follow the flow of the course

Cons:

When it rains or right after it rains the mud on some of the more vertical hole becomes very slippery, I myself almost rolled all the way down a hill, other than that No complaints.

Other Thoughts:

IF YOU ARE IN CHICAGO this course is a must play!!!!
