Concrete teepads, solid Discatchers
Low risk of losing plastic
Good use of elevation
Beginner friendly
High fun factor
A few longer holes to open up the arm

Low overall challenge
Challenging (relatively) hole 1 to start the course. Parking at Wenger shelter on the west side of the park and starting on hole 5 allows for some shorter and easier holes to progress through the round.
Course not segregated from other park users. Runners, walkers, bikers, picnics, cross country, etc. all come into play of the course.

Washington Park is a clean neighborhood multiuse park that hosts a perfectly decent if not great disc golf course.
It is very suitable for the casual or first time player or as a warmup for one of the multiple more challenging courses in the area.
While not very challenging, the large trees and rolling hills are used well to create some interesting shots and create a high fun factor.

- Very nice, well maintained park setting
- Decent length variety with some limited elevation change
- Baskets and concrete tee pads in good condition

- Mostly open holes provide limited challenge
- Simple tee signs frequently show incorrect distances
- No concrete pads for longer tees

Washington Park is a nice disc golf course typical of the multi-use parks style courses found around Illinois. The course is mostly open, with larger trees providing sporadic obstacles in the fairways. The open nature of the course allows for multiple lines on just about every hole. As such, it is not overly difficult, but allows for a fun round where you can play the round however you prefer. It is beginner friendly, but provides enough challenge for intermediate level players to not be bored by it. There were multiple holes where each of the 4 players in my group threw a different, but still effective, shot, which is fun to see.

There is enough variation in distance to keep things interesting, allowing you to bust out the drivers for max distance on longer holes, or shoot for birdies or even an ace run on shorter holes. The sparse elevation is used well, and a number of holes play slightly up or down hill. A few holes stand out including 17, the only true par 4 playing over slight hills with the parking lot behind and a small creek in front. The baskets are in good shape and catch well, and the concrete tee pads are nice and sufficiently large.

The course is mostly open, and a lot of the holes are on the shorter side, resulting in a lot of easy birdies. It is a multi-use park, and while the course does a good job of mostly staying away from areas other park users will be, there are some areas where conflicts are bound to happen, so be careful and observant. The tee signs are very basic, distance and hole number are all that is provided, and a number of the posted distances appear to be incorrect.

Washington Park is a pleasant place to play a round. Go to have a stress free round, try a few new shots, or take a new player out for their first time. There is a lot here to like, even if it isn't particularly challenging to more veteran players.

-park is nice, fairways were mowed. -had newer Disc Catchers installed, I prefer Mach 3 but to some this would be a pro. -Nice concrete tee-pads.

-Too open, most holes only required a hyzer to get into deuce range, made for a boring round. -because of the lack of trees it was very windy. -no water, and only a porta pottie at the parking lot. -Signage not very informative other than hole # and feet to basket, minor con, but con non the less.

-If a beginner and in Peoria area this course would be a nice option. If your experienced player peoria has a bunch of other courses, Mcnaughton (a.k.a. McNasty), Icc, Eureka, Bradley, that would be more fun and challenging to you.

Some long holes
Very well kept park
Beginner friendly
A good ace run par

Minimal trees
People in the way, one kid took my disc
Easy repetitive holes

My buddies and I use this course to start our long days of discing

The course plays through an open grassy park with scattered mature trees. There are some rolling hills, and they add some interest and variety to the course, and come into play on most of the holes. The design tries to incorporate the available trees as much as possible to force different lines and keep it from being totally wide open. There is nice variety of distances from ace run holes to a couple longer shots where you'll pull out a distance driver. There are good concrete tee pads, and the baskets are in nice shape.

The course is too open to offer much of a challenge, most holes only have one or two trees in play to avoid and that gets pretty repetitive after a while. As a RHBH thrower, I was able to throw a hyzer on nearly all the holes, and it looked like a hyzer route for lefties was just as available on most. The walking path comes into play on a couple holes, though the course avoids it for the most part, just a couple spots where you need to watch out for pedestrians. Navigation is a little difficult in a couple spots, there's some backtracking after some holes. The tee signs are pretty useless, they have only distance and that was often wrong. The long tees are natural and not very easy to find.

This is definitely a beginner friendly course. Only a few holes have much length, and there isn't much chance of getting into any kind of trouble with an errant drive. There are enough trees that a beginner will be encouraged to try some different shots, but not enough that it will get frustrating. More experienced players won't find much challenge here. With most holes fairly open and a reachable distance, there are lots of easy birdies out here. It's not a bad place to get a quick round in, but don't go out of your way for this one.

-This was a really pretty park, nicely maintained with a small smattering of trees thrown in to make you think about it.
-Easy to follow design, navigation only a probelem in 1 or 2 places (where you have to cross the walking path.)
-Some nice challenging holes (#1(tree on left and pines on right make it a tough straight shot or a huge annie, 7(I think?), 17 only real multishot hole)
-Some decent slight elevation changes across the walking path.
Nice concrete pads

-Signs were insufficient (6x6 posts with hole # and yardage carved in, they didn't depict the hole and most of the yardages were off.
-Except for a few holes, no real challenging holes: most were under 280 and had no real obstacles
-Multiuse park (watch out for pedestrians and bikers on paved paths)
-No alt pin locations, could be made into a much more difficult park.
-Only a crappy stinky portajohn for facilities, no water, no garbage cans on course (but a few on the walking path), but a nice parking lot.

Really a fun little course, good for a casual beer round with some buddies. Very nice for beginners but does offer some challenges for more experienced players.
