3.00 star(s) the meadows gets better each year The Meadows is a links style course with long open fairways shooting to generally well-guarded baskets. The open fairways are lined with thick rough that is easily manageable in winter, but will certainly warrant a straight drive in summer unless you want to...

I wouldn’t pay to play with a pro DGer. It just doesn’t appeal to me the way playing a ball golf round with Tiger or Rory would. I feel like after 3-4 holes McBeth or Ricky or whoever would be tired of watching my less than perfect form and waiting for me to work my way up to the basket while...

My first ace I was with my buddy who threw one about a year prior. I had come so close so many times, it was just a relief to finally sink one. I yelled “finally!”, did a Tiger style swinging fist pump, then chugged a Busch lite in celebration. No signing discs or tee signs, just kept throwing...

What is your planned route from Iowa thru Illinois? If you’re taking I80 Id say you have to play the canyons in Lockport- best course in all Chicago area IMO. Highland or west park are great alternatives if you’re looking for a quicker play. Shorewood Park is a decent course too. It doesn’t have...

1.50 star(s) Black Licorice Baskets are in very good shape. Navigation is pretty simple- just follow the paths. Holes 1, 9, and 10 struck me as quality, reasonable, and fair disc golf holes. I would like to play these three holes again on repeat. I generally don't mind natural tees, and here is no...

Being from Chicago’s south side, I highly suggest you play Canyons in Lockport. I regularly make the 50min drive to go play while passing several good courses along the way. You should also consider Highland park and West park in Joliet if time and energy allow (I prefer HP over West, but both...

Not sure if it meets all your qualifications (I’m almost positive there are no RVs, but idk about showers), but I suggest you look into Sand Ridge State Forest- southwest of Peoria proper. I’ve stayed there a few times when making a weekend trip to play these courses from Chicago. My work...

2.00 star(s) I-57/ I-70 pit stop This course plays around a small community park and through the backside of a middle school. Each hole has a nice big and level concrete tee pad with a post designating the hole number. Each Bastet is in good condition and have the hole number on top. Baskets can all be seen...

Hey, Now! Great idea Jeffmonty, thank you. Definitely will check out the public transit options. As often as I use the CTA in Chicago, you'd think I would have thought of that! :doh:

Hello all! I am taking trip to Denver the last week of March. Wondering if any locals have advice on which area courses to check out. I’ll be staying in the uptown area, right by St. Joseph Hospital and I’ll have limited (if any) access to a car. The closest course I see is Lakewood Dry Gulch...

I’m planning a trip from Chicago to Memphis leaving the day after Christmas. Top on my list is stopping at the Bud Hill courses, but the rest is kind of up for grabs. Most of the reviews for Memphis area courses seem like they’re a few years old so I’m curious if any locals have some insight on...

3.00 star(s) Fun 18 on the Ohio Atkinson Park plays through and around a multi-use park with ball fields and walking paths. I played on a cold November morning and there were surprisingly plenty of dog walkers about, but it didn't seem like we were ever interfering with each other. the front 12 play mostly...

1.00 star(s) Southern Wisconsin Safari Baskets were all in good shape, probably the best homemade I've ever thrown at. The designer utilized the school district property to create some interesting and fun shots. You will throw up and down hills. Some baskets in possibly dicey locations to create a risk/...

You're right, I exaggerated a bit for effect. Most I've worked in are 50-70 (still a big group of kids to orchestrate), though in middle school/ high school gym periods in the hundreds are not uncommon.

Yes, I'm a teacher aide. For the interests of DiscGolfPark I think they should certainly market to schools, especially those with huge numbers of students because these schools often have bigger budgets and get nicer, newer, odd/different equipment more frequently. Also, schools will need more...
