Some longer holes but no par 5 length. Baskets are all in good shape. Course is undergoing changes. Hole 9 is now two par threes and no longer the longish dogleg left hole is was and hole 19 which I used to love and have nearly aced twice is gone. Most holes are par 4 and should be par 3 but that doesn't detract from the nice variety of holes on the course. Some holes are now much easier as very obstructive trees/shrubs near the baskets have been removed (#2 & 26) which makes them quite a bit more accessible. The dead pine tree in front of #2 tee has been removed as well. #7 is still very difficult to reach in one shot as getting through the trees is nearly all luck. If you are in the area you should try it. It is 10 minutes from my house so I play there often. Some other reviews state no practice basket but they have added one east of the pond.

Can be a bit easier if you are a well above average player. Can get crowded. It is called The Oaks for a reason, look out when walking for acorns so you don't twist an ankle and in the fall, the leaves blanket the ground in areas (#3 especially) and you can look for your disc for a LONG time in the leaves.

Park is clean save for a few beer cans here and there (please get your trash in the MANY cans on the course). I have never run into anyone other than disc golfers on the course but others state they have.

Full Disclosure:
This will be a relatively short review as I am not intimately familiar with the course. + I am writing this review months after I played it. So Keep that in mind!

I wanted to do this review because whenever mention of the course comes up I remember it being a very pleasant experience. I WOULD recommend.

27 holes available, park seemed well maintained.

If you live close to the city of Chicago and are looking for a day trip this is worth it! At least once.

Personally it is a 45 minute one way drive for me, and I will most likely not make a return trip. That being said, I do not regret playing it once. It was worth it.

Encountered quite a few people, some were disc golfers some were not. Nice enough people, but not a pure disc golf experience if that's what you're looking for.

I did not lose a disc, but my fellow players spent some time searching. Particularity on holes 19-27.

Not clear directions on where next tee pad is.

There are markers on the basket indicating the direction of the next tee pad. Not pinpoint accurate as the basket shifts overtime. Sometimes pointed in the dead wrong direction.

Overall 3.5/5 fun course. Fun summer day!

- 27 holes with multiple pads per hole
- Large, clean, well landscaped course is dedicated to disc golf
- Mature trees do a decent job of forcing a variety of lines
- Benches at a large number of holes
- Good tee signs with hole geometry and distances for all pads

- Mostly flat terrain with limited variety in type of holes, feels repetitive by the end
- Navigation is occasionally confusing
- Footing on the rubber tee pads can be less than ideal

I had put off playing The Oaks for about two years, not because I hadn't heard good things, but because it was just a bit farther than all the other Joliet area courses I enjoy playing when I get the chance. Playing through this course on a beautiful fall day made me sorry for putting it off for so long. The Oaks is not overly challenging or varied, but it is still a fun, well-kept course in a wonderful park with more holes (and tees) than you will find anywhere else in the area.

The golf here is generally fairly straightforward. There is minimal elevation, though what there is is used well, and most of the baskets are straight ahead of you from the tee pad. The challenge comes from having to bend your discs around the large mature trees. Many times there will be multiple routes, including backhand and forehand friendly lines, but frequently there is really only one good option, or one line that is much easier to hit. This helps keep the round from getting too boring. It would be nice if there were some more "dog-leg" type holes, as throwing to a basket more or less right in front of you gets repetitive.

The 3 holes in the tightly wooded section of the park (19-21) are a welcome change of pace, and I wish there were a couple more of them spaced throughout. Hole 13 was a standout for me. A longer, open hole at the start leads slightly downhill, where you then have to play up, across a small creek and through guardian trees to the basket which is up on a small terrace.

The equipment here is generally very good, with the baskets, signs, tee pads, and many benches all in good condition. I am not a big fan of the rubber pads however, and frequently found them a bit too short, and with less than ideal footing, especially when the gravel used to border the rubber pad is covering the surface.

My partner and I got turned around 3 or 4 times during our first trip (especially between holes 2 and 3 and 21 and 22) despite most of the baskets having tines taped in the direction to the next hole. However, both times we were truly stumped, we were quickly able to ask one of the many other friendly groups on the course the way to the next tee. After through once, navigation shouldn't be an issue.

This is a great course with the multiple tee pads providing great variety of looks off the tee, and a layout for many skill levels. The Oaks is well worth a play through, particularly if you are a fan of more open, parks style courses, and would rather stay away from tight, wooded fairways where bad drives are severely punished.

***Update 9/2020
I recently played The Oaks for the first time in a couple of years and wanted to give my impression of some of the updates to the course since my original review in 2015. The work done on this course recently is quite impressive: around 10 new baskets, new concrete pads for the white tees, a few completely new holes, new directional signage, and a bunch of new landscaping. There are a huge number of distinct holes on this course, and while a few are still repetitive, non are truly boring. The new Hole A playing over the pond from the parking lot is an impressive challenge that added something I always wished was there.

My only critique of the new additions are that many of the new X pin positions are overly protected by small trees and bushes. So much so that there almost isn't a green on some holes like 2X. I get the intent, but I think it was taken too far and hopefully these greens are broken in and opened up a bit over time. This course has never been in better shape, and I am more than ever interested in playing here more frequently.

Long 27 hole course. I especially consider this a good thing considering the lack of good, long courses around Chicagoland. From the moment I pulled into the driveway and saw the gym/clubhouse building, I knew this was going to be a rewarding course to play. The facilities here are top notch, in all sincerity. The clubhouse has a full gym ( I assume for members only?), nice bathrooms, a small disc shop, and scorecards/maps. There are some nice peaceful looking ponds and a bridge leading to the disc course.

If you enjoy having multiple tees to mix up the play/add more challenge or make the course easier then this course delivers; they have three tees for most of the 27 holes.

Great variety throughout the holes. Some of the holes are shaped very well with trees, bushes, and water hazards being used strategically to create nice lines. However, there isn't necessarily a TON of diversity on hole shapes. The true variety comes in the length of the holes as well as terrain. The distances range from 210 ft to 490 ft (I played white tees). The terrain varies from shaping around big trees, to wide open bombers, to very tight wooded fairways. Elevation even comes into play on a few holes.

Being that most of the holes are fairly open, meaning no OOB or strict fairway, you don't need to be very precise on the majority of the holes. This makes it a fun play with little stress, but some more risk/reward would be nice. A lot of the holes are very straightforward holes, not very long, and with no obstacles in the way.

I hate to complain about extra holes, but the last 9 holes feel like they were added on at the last minute and rushed. I like these holes since they introduce a few tightly wooded fairways not seen on the rest of the course, but they just don't seem finished.

The pars on this course seem kinda lame honestly. Ex. there are 15 holes under 300ft with a par 4? I scored a 91 on this course, nothing terribly impressive about that, and it was a -14? Just seems like most of these holes should be par 3 to me.

Everything was mowed, there were plenty of trash cans, and benches by most tees. The signs were pretty nice too. If you judge this course relative to other Chicago courses, it would be at least a 4/5, maybe 4.5/5 in my opinion. I had a blast playing here, and will not hesitate to make the 50 min. drive to play again.

**Well maintained, clean park
**Nice benches throughout the park.
**Nice recreation center with scorecards, course maps, Discs for sale and inside restrooms.
**27 holes with 3 teepads for most of the holes.
**Nice Mach 5 baskets, yellow number plates on top with LARGE numbers on them which really helps the first time you play here.
**Very well constructed, compacted-crushed limestone, grippy rubber tee pads. These tee pads rival concrete...
**Nice graphic tee signs at the White tee pad so you know where to throw

**Mostly shady shooting through large mature oak trees was a plus on the 105+ heat index day that my wife and I played.

Navigation, especially after hole 21, a little more signage would remedy this situation. Help from the locals kept us pointed in the right direction...
Need -more- trashcans!!!

I am 900+ rated player and shot -11 while leaving quite a few out there which I suppose could be a pro and a con, Still a VERY "fun" round though and I would play this course again.

1. Check in at the recreation center building and get a free registration card, without one, there is a fine. They also have free Maps and Score Cards...
2. no smoking in the park, there is a fine
3. No dogs. There is a fine.

The Oaks is a very good course with a feel that sets itself apart from other Chicago area courses.

The most obvious pro this course has is its 27 holes, the most for any single course in the area. For such a beautiful and sprawling area to be dedicated solely to disc golf is pretty impressive.

There is enough here to appeal to a wide range of players. The difficulty is definitely on the easier side, but there are some unique looks and enough distance to keep experienced players interested for the round.

The three wooded shots come at a good spot in the course and give accurate/low power players a chance to make a comeback on big armed players who have an advantage in the early/middle part of the course.

Multiple tee pads on every hole, and decent tee signs.

While the land itself is scenic and enjoyable to play, it does not lend itself to a wide variety of shot types. There is minimal elevation, no water, and three truly wooded holes.

About 60% of the course requires you to hit fairly straight lines through large trees, but in many instances there are easy hyzer lines that will put you close to the pin. I played with a newer player who was tossing hyzers on most shots because he couldn't hit the straight line through the trees, and in most instances he ended up with a similar upshot to myself.

The flow coming out of the woods after #21 is really confusing, and the course would benefit from a sign at this spot. Coming out of the woods its about a 75 yard walk where you pass some of the earlier part of the course, and its easy to become disoriented.

Somehow this is one of the most crowded courses I've played in the suburbs despite all the space and the number of holes.

The Oaks is definitely worth a stop if you live in the burbs, but not a place I would go back to on a regular basis unless I lived close by. If you're from out of town and only have time for a couple courses, skip this one and hit the two courses in Joliet.

27 holes, not too many courses deviate from the standard 9 or 18 so this is always fun in my mind. Another great feature at this course is it is well maintained and is well used by many people. The tees here are exactly the way I like them; rubber, well secured and absolutely solid and level. Not to mention there were two sets of tees on all the holes and even three sets on some (or at least that is what I noticed). Good mixture of distance, there were no really obnoxious long holes. A few would require two shots for some people but most all of them were reachable from the tees. Incorporated the option of a hyzer or anhyzer on most holes. It did force you to throw a straight throw on a few holes (means that the park made you work at being a well rounded player). It was easy to find from I-80, just head south on LaGrange to Laporte heading west, it takes maybe 5 min.

While it is a well-used park, you will find that you may be waiting a lot as it can get packed in the warmer weather. There were a few holes where there were no true "golf" shots. Basically you lie up of the tee, and lay up again with your approach. They are easy par holes but what I call a dumb luck birdie hole. The general flow here was really weird at times, it seemed as though you were walking all over the course from one hole to the next, made for a much longer walk in my mind. There were a few holes that were in a wide-open field that really didn't match the rest of the course in my opinion.

This course is beautiful, I think they made a really nice place to play some disc golf. Something I really enjoyed about this park was there were a lot of non-traditional disc golfers playing (women and masters aged players). It was surprisingly very dry considering how wet the area has been lately; there were only a few holes where it was a little muddy. You may have to fight for parking spots depending on the kind of day you show up. Make sure you are ready to play the park because it is a hike to play the full 27, eat a meal before you play or bring a snack bag for the course.

-Large oak trees make for good obsticles without being overbearing
- Few signature holes to keep things interesting
-Pro, Am,and Beginner tees at almost every hole
-Good combination of open field, light and densly wooded holes.
- Mostly flat with the exception of #14 which is up about 25 feet and hidden from view
- mostly short holes(under 300) #9 is for the big arms.
-Signs at every tee box
-Holes ranging from 300 to 600 feet
- Very well maintained tees and fairways
-Many throwing lanes on most holes

- Rain tears up the ground on certain holes
- No water fountain
- Can be very crowded at times
-A few holes are lined with dense woods,so keep an eye on that disc
-Closed on certain holidays
-I've been at the Oaks while they had a cross country race going on. Without any notice hundreds of people where running through the course.
- Standing water can make it very buggy in the summer
- Par system is all messed up. 310 ft par 4s and 450 ft par 5s. Best if played at all 3s and maybe a 4 thrown in there

My favorite course hands down. Good for everyone. Worth the drive for 27 holes. Ive never heard of any one needing to register or have ever seen cops out on the course. I play this course at least once a week in the summer and have never run into any problem. Ive even purchased disc from the "pro shop" with no mention of checking in to play the course

- Course is set in a large area, with lots of mature trees, and a little forest. There are no other activities on the disc golf side, not even a walking path.
- A few different sections of the park to mix things up. There are some open fields, some pretty dense forest, and a very large grove of mature trees. Pretty good flow from one part to the other, some open field shots end in the forest and such.
- The part of the course with the large trees has some additional features to spice things up. There are smaller ditches that can snag errant shots (like #1 on the right, for starters), some serious rough in one section, fell branches as obstacles, and some slight elevation changes. Considering each hole looks pretty similar on the surface, there are some very different challenges. Avoiding the big trunks and low branches is half the battle at some points.
- A few holes in the open field provide some lengthier fairways. There are a few spots where only a true bomber can get it to the pin, especially from the long tees. Some small elevation and small obstacles on these holes as well, but nothing too crazy. #13? is a longer downhill shot, to a hill with lots of trees and an elevated basket. Very nice.
- Some shorter, denser holes in a small forest add some variety as well. Definitely helps to break up the rest of the course.
- Decent length to the course, and a good mix throughout. A player with a big arm may find most of them a bit too easy to get to, everyone else will find it just right (especially with some alternate tees).
- Decent signage, decent tees, decent baskets. Navigation, not so decent. I guess they figured that scorecards in the office make up for no directional help. A first timer with no map is in for some wandering.

- My major gripe with this course is the repetition. Almost all of the holes require getting around or between some oak trees, over and over and over. The other hazards and some rough help to break it up, but there are a ton of holes that feel almost identical. The short forest holes feel tacked on as a desperate attempt to add some variety.
- This course gets destroyed by rainfall, with large sections becoming muddy, swampy, marshy, or all three. Anywhere there is no grass is a potential flood area.

- Every time I play this course, I feel mixed emotions. It usually goes: on the way there, not that excited. Once there, I feel like I don't appreciate it. Halfway through, I like it a lot. Once done, I feel a little let down. On the way home, I feel like I wasted my time. There are some pretty darn good holes, and some really tough shots at parts, but overall it feels too easy. I think the additional 9 holes just water down the whole experience, and the good holes get lost in the shuffle.
- Still, a great course for a beginner or intermediate player.

Great designed course with several well protected and hidden baskets. offers a challenge no mater what your experience level. The large oak trees provide great shade in the summer heat, as well as obsticles to throw through. Multiple tee boxes let beginers and pros play together on a more even playing field.

Lay out can be confusing until you play through a few times. Gets very crowded on the weekeds but worth it for this great course. Mosquitoes are thick in the heavily wooded areas bring some Off spray. Watch out for poision ivy

The park itself is a nice looking piece of property and is used solely for disc golf. It is fairly flat and is covered mostly by huge oak trees. Much of the course plays in the shade and there is very little rough to lose discs.

The park district takes very good care of this course. The tee pads have limestone laid underneath with rubber tee pads laid on top. They are boxed in by wood frames and are very level.

There are some nice signs on the middle set of tees and the baskets are Mach 5's with number plates on the top.

There are multiple tee pads on many of the holes. 54 total tee pads for 27 holes.

There are several signature holes and some nice landscaping in areas. Although this course lacks elevation the design utilzed it well.

This is a very beginner friendly course and is pretty fun to play.

Even with the multiple tee pads this course is very repetitive in shot selection and distances. This could have been a championship level 4.5 star rated course if it was 18 holes.

Although this course has a lot of oaks there are very few holes with major obstacles and rough. It lacks the challenge that many great courses offer. From the last 2 tournaments run here the SSA is 73 (-8) from the longs and 70 (-11) from the Whites.

Even with good signage it can be difficult to navigate in a few areas.

1. Check in at the building and get a registration card. It's free. Without one you can be fined.

2. There is no smoking in this park.

3. No dogs. There is a large fine.

The course plays through a large disc golf dedicated area. Most of the holes play through large old oaks with generous lanes between them. For variety, there are a few holes that play in open rolling fields, and a few in denser trees with some brushy rough to mix things up a bit.

There is a good mix of ace run holes, and holes that require a long accurate drive to have a shot at a deuce. The large trees leave many different lines open on most holes, but many have preferred lines, and these are a good mix of righty and lefty shots with some straight shots right at the basket.

There are multiple tees on nearly all the holes, with up to three different looks. They change the holes quite a bit, and make the course accessible but challenging to most levels of players. There are nice signs on the white (middle) tees that show the layout of the hole and the distance from each of the pads. The tees are rubber, and are perfectly laid to be flat and flush with the ground.

The park is excellently maintained, and very beautiful. There is no trash anywhere, and the grounds are immaculately kept, making for a very enjoyable setting to play in.

The course is 27 holes in the amount of space appropriate for a great 18 hole course. There were times where way too many holes were right in the same spot, as well as times where there were multiple baskets to look at off the tee so you had to walk up and check out the number plate the first time through. There were bricks in the ground pointing the way to some of the next tees, but they only seemed to be there on the holes where it wasn't confusing where to go next. You often have the choice of a few different tees to walk to, and it's rarely the most obvious one.

The design made great use of the limited elevation and the big scattered trees, but these make for a little lack of variety. Nearly all the holes seem pretty similar, and the ones that are different aren't all that memorable. I really felt like a fantastic 18 hole course could have been put together here with more variety and more interesting holes, and would make for a more challenging and fun course.

One small thing I would like to see is brooms for the tee pads. They collect gravel dust which makes them quite slippery on the holes where you really try to rip a drive. The tee signs are only at the white tees, which means there is often extra walking to see the tee sign when throwing from the long or short tees.

This course is definitely accessible to beginners, with little punishing schule, reasonable distances, and many available lines, especially from the short tees. More experienced players will find more challenges from the long tees, and will enjoy the beautiful setting for disc golf.

Though it's not the most challenging course around, it's one of the most fun to play. Definitely worth the trip to play, especially if you can hit up some of the other Joliet area courses.

Note to other dog owners: it's posted that having dogs on the course is a $1000 fine, so you probably want to leave your disc dog at home for this one.

I played this and am rating it from the long tees. What I personally like and how this course stacks up in my list of 18 (and over) hole courses:

1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == B-
(Due to the relatively open nature of most of this course, there is not enough trouble out there to tax the braincells in chosing exact shots/routes needed. And the course does not harshly punish poor decisions or execution.)

2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == A-
(About a quarter of the holes are too long for my arm. This is fine design-wise as that makes them challenging for longer arms but turns them into routine pars for me. The rest of the holes set up perfectly for me.)

3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == B
(Although most of the course plays under the canopy of beautiful mature Oaks, things are pretty open and the design does not force the point in this area as much as I prefer. There is some medium level terrain that is used very well.)

4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == A+
(From the beautiful mature Oaks, to the open fields, to the maintenance you can not get much better. Seclusion from civilization is superb providing a perfect place to unwind and recharge from the stresses of life)

5) Bonus points for multi-throw holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == C-
(The multi-throw holes are a plus to be sure, but they are not inspiring in added strategy or execution needed to score well.)

It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (125 18-hole, 64 9-hole as of mid 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

From the moment I exited the car, it was clear that the maintenance of this course was beyond reproach. For maintenance, this course is only surpassed by a few of the nicest pay-to-play courses I've been to, like Bryant Lake, Token Creek, and Blue ribbon Pines. The beauty of the oaks: its free, you just have to register at the visitor's center the first time you play.

Anyways, three sets of rubber tees on each hole (often only two tees, but sometimes white uses long, sometimes short). These are the nicest rubber tees I have ever played on, probably even better than concrete. All raised high and dry off ground on a bed of gravel, perfectly level and flat, with wooden frame around them. We watched a parks worker in a lawn tractor putting in/ redoing one of the tees, repeatedly (for 15 minutes) running back and forth over the sand underneath the rubber to compact it and make it perfect. That's what I'm talkin about!

Nice tee sign at the white tee pad on every hole, gives a good hole map. Usually pretty easy to tell which basket you are throwing at.

The course plays through a mostly flat area of GIANT majestic oak trees, and a few tiny creeks. Its actually quite scenic. Great place to have a picnic, they even have benches on almost every hole, and some tables spaced periodically throughout the park.

Crazy flow, with holes nicely close together, without too much concern of hitting someone on another hole, or crossing fairways. A testament to good course design. Makes good use of the available trees, including a few fallen trees, to mix up the challenges a bit.

Many of the holes are weaving between trees to a basket, like on Anna Page, or Lemon Lake-Red. If you like those two courses, this is your spot. Though many of the holes are cut from the same mold, it gives you a range of lines to play on each hole, and different looks from hole to hole, so it never gets boring.

Don't misunderstand, this course has variety. In the middle nine, it emerges into a big field with some rolling hills for a few long open holes, and the start of the third nine takes you on a merry romp through some scary wooded fairways that give Dretzka a run for it's money.

Another thing that this course uses well are the ravines. In fact, almost all the best holes on this course involve a river valley in some way. For example, hole 2 is a blind downhill drive to a well protected basket tucked into a creek hillside to the left. Very distinct hole, just what you want.

The signature hole, however, is probably hole 13. This monster takes you out of the large field and back into the trees. You shoot downhill, into the trees that start before the ravine, to a well-shielded basket on the topmost section of a multilevel terrace on the opposing side of the ravine. Very very cool looking hole, not quite as hard as it looks (or maybe I just got lucky)

26 is another hole of note, mainly just because it is distinct. You shoot at a wall of thin, tall trees past a small ravine. They wrap around the basket like a castle wall almost 180 degrees. You either have to go a ways around to the left to curve around the treewall edge, try to tomahawk above wall but below larger oaks around, or pick one of several small gaps in the wall and go for it. The basket is on uneven ground past the wall, to boot. Just mean, but I like it.

The Oaks is a very enjoyable experience to play. Every hole offers some challenge and fun, with a sprinkling of wow! holes in the mix to keep you on your toes.

This is a course with 20ish good holes and 7excellent ones. Great facilities, great experience, nice mix of distances, especially with the 3 tees so pros can be pushed as well as beginners. The different tees do give different looks, sometimes bringing several more oaks into play on each step up.

Because this course seems to zigzag around through the scattered oaks with abandon, its not always obvious which tee is the next one. In particular, the transition from 21 and 22 is the worst. After basket 21, head to your right, past tee 18 and basket 17 to get to tee 22. In general, having a copy of the course map with you would not hurt.

I really wanted to rate this course higher, I really did, because of the maintenance and the replay value of three teepads. However, its not quite excellent, because it is mostly flat, and limited. It uses the terrain well, but its still reaching into the same bag of tricks most of the time, with flat scattered trees you will always have multiple options for lines to play, and little punishing shule, which makes the course play fairly forgiving. Not extremely tricky on a consistent basis, just every now and again.

Not a great course, but the overall playing experience was darn near an excellent one. I would be tempted to rate this course higher if I hadn't played some of the other even better courses in the area like Lemon Lake and Highland Park to compare it to.

DO NOT SMOKE IN THIS PARK. MASSIVE FINES FOR CIGS. According to the word on the street, this no cigarette smoking policy has many of the locals up in arms, enough so to boycott this course. Instead, they focus their efforts on Lemon Lake Park.

One thing is certain: you don't see cigarette butts, or anything else, littering the ground here, or many unwashed, questionable looking DGers. When we played it was mostly families and groups of HS/college age rec players with a few discs each.

If you want to take you family disc golfing with you, this is the perfect place to do it. It even has a fountain.

Mosquitoes were not too bad here,must be just enough breeze between those Oaks to keep em off.

1. Great variety of holes. There are 27 of them, so some feel similar, but there is a wide variety. From little hills, to forest, to long, to short.
2. Tee boxes are great. Very well maintained, with great signs. Usually there are also benches nearby. And for each hole, there are about 2-3 tee boxes (Women, Men & Pro).
3. For there being 27 holes, it is still fairly easy to navigate. Holes 19 & 22 are a little tricky (Going into the woods and then coming back out).
4. Overall park is very well maintained. Not overrun with grass or fallen trees.
5. Baskets are very well kept.
6. There is an office out front where you can buy discs, or pick up a free score card. It isn't necessary to stop here, but its nice if you want to pick up a disc before or after.

1. Level of difficulty is relatively easy. My first time ever disc golfing, I threw a +1. Very generous on what is considered a par 4! To increase the difficulty, we try to aim for -1 for every hole (so if we play 18, we try to end -18).
2. Course retains water!!! This has been an exceptionally rainy spring, and each time I went, it seemed very muddy. Since summer began, it has been perfect.
3. It can get a little crowded. But no big deal. Its disc golf. Just chill and enjoy yourself. Maybe you can partner up with another group you meet there. Cuts down the wait, and you get to hangout with some pretty cool people.
4. Your first time here can be a little difficult to navigate. Look for arrows on the ground near the previous hole's basket. Or just follow someone else. After you play it once, it pretty easy to follow.

This place is amazing. One of the best course in the Chicago-land area. If you haven't played here yet, I highly suggest it. You can play 9, 18, 27, or anyones that you want. There are plenty of options.

Really enjoyed this course as it is completely different than what I play at home. Lots of single trees arranged in moderate to tight corridors. Well maintained and some challenging holes.

Was somewhat crowded on the day we were there.

Very cool course overall. Will definitely play again when in the Chicago area.

27 holes with 3 teepads.
Well maintained, clean park
Nice facility with scorecards, inside restrooms and discs for sale.
Mostly in the shade shooting around large mature oak trees.

Very wet and muddy 2 days after a lot of rain in the area. Holes 19 - 21 were
rather crammed together in the woods unlike the rest of the course.

most Chicago courses are rather simple and 9 holes. This is one of the better ones and close to Cedar Lake, IN another good DG site.

3 teepads per hole, Red, white, and blue level. Large trees. Great use of land. Great shot and hole variety. Even open holes are a challenge.

Ummmmm?...
Those that say there isn't shot variety probably didn't play the other teepads.

An absolute joy to play.
27 holes x 3 teepads = 81 holes!!!!!!

I have not played this course in several years now and do not remember it well enough to properly update this review. i will be playing this course in a few months and then properly review this wonderful course.
