I really enjoyed this course. It might be a 3.75 for me, but based on how fun this round was, I decided to round up. It is a rare course that can actually justify 27 holes. The Oaks has the space and length to put in 27 truly unique fairways. This course wasn't as secluded as the name and pictures suggested, as there is a Mokena Park District fitness building at the beginning. However, this is a beautiful piece of land with the namesake towering oak trees very noticeable on the front half of the course.

There biggest con here is limited elevation change, but the course designers worked with what they had. There are a few more open shots, a few heavily wooded shots, and many sparsely wooded shots. Very few holes are without challenge. I found these challenges very appropriate - par is achievable on every hole, but birdies will be difficult to come by from the long tees (I only managed 1 in 27 holes).

The course is beautifully maintained, with excellent full color tee signs, 2 tees per hole, decent baskets that appear painted neon (perhaps for glow rounds?), and garbage cans/picnic tables/benches on several holes. The short tees are rubber, but the long tees are spacious concrete pads in great shape.

Hole 14 was probably my favorite due to the elevation change - a downhill shot with an uphill ending that heads into the woods. Wherever necessary, there are nice wooden bridges that cross the creek running through the course, including on this hole. Wooden stairs are also built in on especially steep sections. The rough is very reasonable throughout the course and risk of losing discs is minimal. It's easy to see the care that goes into this course.

Other highlights are 2 different practice baskets and woodchips put down in muddy areas, including around baskets. Navigation would be pretty confusing without a map, but the next tee arrows under each basket are a huge aid and made it quite straightforward. This is a great touch I wish more courses would incorporate. I also really enjoyed the variety of wildlife. A hawk was circling the course most of the time I was there and other birds can be heard. I saw frogs and toads, squirrels, etc. It might not appeal to everyone but I love seeing wildlife on the course, and it helps me feel like I've gotten away from the city a bit.

The holes weren't quite as wooded as I had expected, but the mature oak trees are no joke and are beautiful (as well as large targets for your plastic). Even the semi-open holes forced you to hit lines to be successful. I really enjoyed the challenge of this course. Less experienced players will probably want to go with the short tees.

I would highly recommend making the drive out here. It's not quite on the level of The Canyons in nearby Lockport, but this is another course in the general Joliet area that is fantastic and worth playing.

Great balance of fairway, obstacles and a couple of woods/weeds (but not annoying). Great length (27 holes; not to long between holes)

To be the perfect course it would need a some more elevation changes and slightly more variation in hole length and left and right - but it has some of everything.... not a huge problem...

They've just redone it: So most reviews are from before that. New cement tees and a (slightly) different layout, which is all for the better.... I wish this were my home course. I like dodging oak trees instead of tunnel shots or artificial obstacles. I think there are plenty of challenges and opportunities. I like a course that you could eventually average 3 per hole but not the first time out - i can see this being that course.

Old growth trees are the primary feature in a well planned and idyllic disc golf course. Three rubber tees on most drives that are suitable for various levels of play. 27 drives with average distances between 250 feet to beyond 400 feet make this course worth while to drive to. Most drives are on a level surface but the hill to the south comes in to play halfway through. A few minor ravines are also featured. Despite most drives a straight forward, about a third will require a skill shot.
The white tees have the distance and layout of drives. Baskets are in good shape often with signs pointing to next drive. The course is well taken care of despite all the traffic.

A few baskets can be hard to find the first time through, most notable, 2, 19 and 22. No warm up basket available despite there is plenty of room. Some of the drives are packed in a tight space and players should be wary of others who might throw an errant shot. There are a lot people at the course and some younger players might not be sure of etiquette. Patience and guidance might helpful.

Although this course is free. Mokena wants first time players to register and you are given a card to carry on the course. I have never heard of this being enforced, but I registered anyway. The field house has excellent facilities and discs can be bought there. Some drives have been moved to accommodate recent construction. It might be a good idea to extend the course to 36 drives and have two 18 drive courses rather than one long course, This could help with traffic.

Great course layout that utilizes all the terrain provided. While playing this course you will run into all different types of throws that are needed. Regardless if you are a seasoned vet or a first timer this course is a blast to play. Its upkeep is very good and has recently had work done all around the whole course making it even better than it was before.

Sometimes it can get a bit too crowded but thats okay! Love to see so many people playing the sport!

I recommend anyone to go and play this course whether your trying to have a fun relaxing game or even a little competition between your friends.

Good use of land
Very well maintained
Mix of wooded holes with semi-wooded holes
27 holes
Great tee pads

There is a lot of people
Holes repeat shots

A great course to play to warm up for more challenging courses. Some things I would change about this course is having more variety on holes and more holes with distance. The clubhouse is nice with a small selection of only Innova discs.

course is well designed
offer 27 holes
has nice run ups compared to other places I've been
offers different styles of play ex. woods, hills, open field

heavy foot traffic will do a lot of sitting on benches waiting for other players

*27 holes is awesome for when you feel like 18 isn't enough. I consider this course my home course and I rarely don't do all 27.
*The tee pads are great, and they also have 3 pads for most holes (blue, white, red). Baskets are the best I've played on.
*Pars are a little inflated, good course for an ego booster. There are a couple par 3's, mostly 4's, and one 5.
*Course is very well kept, with garbage cans at most holes so there's not cans everywhere.

*On a nice day, and even average days, it's very crowded. This is by far the best course in the area, which is a pro as well as a con.
*After it rains it can be very wet, but what course doesn't.
*For some reason trees fall over a lot here, which can get in the way. But they usually clean them up pretty fast.
*Like I said, the pars are a bit inflated. I've shot a -20 using signs from the champion tees, and I've been with a guy who's hit -28. Not too challenging.

I absolutely love this course. I came here about 4 times a week during the summer of 2011. Definitely my favorite course. Highly recommended.

Terrific DG park, given the type of topography in this part of the country, this is about as good as it gets in the area. The course has a lot to offer and is just a great place to play. Has multiple tee locations for various skill level & offers something for any level of player. Good shot & distance variety & a descent amount of tree obstructions throughout the course, not too many & not too few for the most part. The more wooded areas of the course can pose some challenging trouble shots. The tee boxes offer a good amount of space and descent footing. Baskets were in great condition. The course is overall very well groomed & maintained.

Does not have any permanant water in play, is confusing to navagae w/o a map or guide, the check in & smoking rules & fines are lame because these are nonexistant at other courses & people may just not be aware, so why fine them, a warning seems more resonable if anything. Just letting people come & play & putting in sand buckets to put out cigs at tees or designated smoking areas makes more sense.

Terrific, fun course, a must play if in the area or a reasonable drive away.

This course is well up-kept with good rubber tees and well marked signs. Because this is a public park, it is well groomed and makes for a beautiful course to play. 27 holes is nice because you can play extra if you are wanting to make a longer day but can also stop at 18 if you are shorter on time. The layout of the holes weave between trees on many holes but there as some open and long holes as well. there are a few in the third set of 9 that are heavily wooded and tight which also makes for a good variety.

27 holes is nice, but it can get a bit repetitive in terms of shots. While it's not true for all the holes, a good number of the 27 can be thrown well with either backhand or forehand shots. This is handy, but cuts down on the need for special and difficult shots and thus it can get a bit repetitive. Also, the par system is way too easy, so if you are looking for more of a challenge I suggest playing most of them par 3 with the exception of maybe one or two if you even want to do that. If you don't adjust the par that is fine, you will just see yourself throwing birdies left and right.

I love this course and always miss it when I leave school and cannot play it until the next year. Highly recommended!

Located in a very nice community recreation park. You have to register before you play, but it's free so no biggie. Plus they give you a little members card. There were 3 different tee pads per hole, and they all were nice flat concrete pads. Played with very nice elevation changes, but it is mostly flat. A lot of the fairways were pretty busy with mature oak trees, but there was usually a few different routes to take in order to have a nice birdie or easy par. The beautiful giant oaks provide sufficient shade to keep you cool, although it does get pretty hot so don't forget plenty of liquids during the summer. Trash cans located all over the park, but there was trash scattered throughout the course. Most fun I've had playing 27 holes!

Course par was ridiculous. I played them all as 3's with the exception of the long par 5's. The flow of the course was pretty poor. Even with painted bricks on the ground by the occasional basket, I found myself asking locals, walking halfway down fairways, throwing to wrong baskets on more than a few occasions. Make sure to bring a map!

I thought it was pretty wide open, even the wooded holes had nice clear fairways. So you don't have to worry too much about pinball holes.I loved the 3-4 holes that had an obstacle or trees guarding the pin. It also has a very cool hole that has a blind elevated basket setting that is strategically placed behind a big bush. I'm assuming there is usually a creek that runs through some of the course, but I guess I went during a drought and it was dried up. I wish the course would have brought the nice pond in the front of the park into play. Over all a pretty awesome course and I would definitely recommend to anyone!

It is a beautiful course with multiple tee pads, nice baskets and good flow. It has something to offer for every frolfer from long open straight holes to holes in the woods that are really narrow and short. It also has 27 holes so you can play all of them or until you get tired. It is also very open and well maintianed therefore you will not spend somt times looking for discs.Most of the course is in the trees so you get to play in the shade but the branches are high enough that they do not get in the way of most throws.

It is often very crowed and you find yourself waiting for others to finish before you tee off. It can also be slightly confusing the first time you go but once you figure it out it is a very enjoyable place to play. After a while the 27 holes seem to all run together and it may get a little boring. This is because the course does get a little repeditive and that makes it get a little old.

You are supposed to register to play on this course but it does not cost anything so it is worth doing if you are going to play here often.

This course is very well maintained with well cut grass and no downed branches. Markers on every tee box as well as clearly marked catchers which also display the par for the hole and the direction to next hole, make playing here a pleasure. Multiple tee locations make it able to played by multiple skill levels at once.

While the course layout isn't necessarily overly impressive, it does offer some nice variety, with holes ranging in not only length but also layout and obstacles.

The trees here are massive and provide a very comfortable play even in summer.

A couple of things that might discourage people from playing here, begin with the difficulty level. While there are many longer holes, the majority of the course is open and is very easy to throw on. While some trees do provide a little blockage of shots, there is really nothing keeping you from throwing a hyzer on every hole.

There are usually a large amount of people out playing, and you might have to wait the entire time, but this is easily avoided by not going there at 5pm with everyone else who just got off work.

This is another great course for players of all skill levels, but bring your throwing arm for the long holes. It is pretty well laid out with markers on every hole and nice tee boxes so getting lost shouldn't happen. Just avoid the busy time of the day right after work and enjoy.

the layout is challenging and fun. The teepads are terrific and seem well maintained.

Lots of users and can get crowded. Some fairways seem close or crossing over but not too bad.

Would like this to be a home course!

27 holes, some in heavy forest, some in little forest and some wide open. good variety of differnt types of holes. very well maintained grass usually cut, and tees kept nice.

if you dont get out early, you will run into some crowds

Great Course. A lot of sweet shots over creeks and islands. 27 holes of disc golf heaven. Still some holes for the big guns to open up. Nice benches and garbage cans.

Hard to navigate. Thats it.

Just play it!!!!

Makes you feel like Tiger Woods when you shoot 15 under par.....they say it is 72, more like 55. Very well maintined, very flat, very wooded. Some really nice design features let you know that people work hard on this course.

Very flat, but I guess it is in Illinois. That is the only bad thing, and is it really that bad?

They sell discs and have nice scorecards at the park office.
