    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Castaldo Park DGC

    2.00 star(s) Used to Be Better Good baskets, signs, and tee pads. Holes offer multiple lines to basket. Very slight elevation adds some challenge to a few holes. Always have fun playing here (it is my home course though). Nice park setting with bike path, pavilion, and playground. They have been trying...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Katherine Legge Memorial Park

    3.50 star(s) A great 18 hole addition Very big park that has room for all sorts of activities including soccer, lacrosse, cross country, walking/jogging path, and a pavilion for big parties and barbeques.

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Willow Stream Park

    2.00 star(s) Nothing Special Baskets, signs, and tee pads are all good. Course circles a patch of woods as you play around them. Some good use of elevation on a hole or two. Was well maintained and clean. Easy to follow flow of the course. Course has few obstacles to throw around. The course was crowded...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course The Links at Wheeler Park

    2.50 star(s) Nice Park and 18 Holes Located in a nice old park among other activities. Had some nice holes, I really liked the steep downhill shot on hole 12. Moderately wooded throughout with a mix of moderately long holes (~300') to short ace runs (~125'). Baskets were good and I think signs were being...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Margreth Riemer Reservoir

    2.50 star(s) Interesting Reservoir Course Located on a large hill with two ponds at the bottom. Uses elevation fairly well. Good signs, tee pads, and baskets. Good practice in wind, as it is a open course with few trees. Uses punishing rough on sides of fairway to force better throws from the tee. Rough...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Kress Creek Farms

    3.00 star(s) Kress Creek Birdies Located on an old farm. Unique location from other courses. Nice length, but mostly open. Some moderately wooded holes and longer open holes. Good signs and baskets. Has some narrow fairways and long grass to punish you for errant drives. Challenging course due to its...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Lewis University DGC

    2.50 star(s) Nice with a Little Challenge Good signs and nice baskets. Good use of elevation, pin placements, and shot variety. Mix of RHBH and RHFH shots. Clean course located on the Lewis campus. Not crowded when I played. Dirt/gravel and uneven tee pads in spots. Layout was very weird, holes 1-5 are...

Dual tee pads, all should be cement now. Good mix of throws: hyzer, anhyzer, straight. Mix of heavily wooded and moderately wooded holes...

    4.00 star(s) Another Great Course in Joliet Great use of the park. Parking lot is between the front 9 and the back 9. Holes are both open and moderately to densely wooded. Great shot variety and elevation use. The shots over the valley/ ravines were really awesome. Great signs at every hole also tells...

    Review by 4_Of_Spades in course Shorewood Park

    3.00 star(s) A Nice Little Course 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...
