3.00 star(s) Not bad The course has a nice range of holes and there are a ton of elevation changes throughout the course. It's a fun course overall as there are varied tees and it seems like different pin placements on every hole. The woods holes are pretty tough, and some of the serious distance holes are...

3.50 star(s) Very Solid 18 Really nice variety of in wooded and semi-open holes. Really nice terrain shots, and some really fun tunnel in the woods kind of shots. The hole that got me the first time I played it was 15, which is in the back of a culdesac of trees and is almost impossible to find unless you're...

3.50 star(s) Good, but not a great course It's a fun course overall. Many of the holes have demanding placements of your drives. You can't just grip'n'rip and expect to score really well here. The chains are ultra-soft. Almost like Ozzie Smith's glove back in the 80's, and the course has a variety of hyzer...

2.50 star(s) Not too shabby Solid distance and a nice--albeit challenging--mix of trees and other obstacles. Some really fun spots to grip and rip. Holes 1-3 are a little tough to get the hang of where the tees are, which hole to throw to, but once you figure out the layout of the holes it makes it much...

4.00 star(s) Quite a course The tees are varied, and not just longer. They are truly set up in a way to challenge those who want the challenge and play a lot easier for beginners or folks who would rather just take it easy and work on short game. The shots are varied, and the water comes into play a couple...

2.00 star(s) There's a course in Mt. Vernon, so that's a pro. The course is laid out in a fairly simple way to figure out where to head. I hear they're moving this up from 7 to 9 holes soon, so that's a pro as well. The course is really easy. The holes are fairly short and they have so many lines of attack...

3.00 star(s) Fallout 3 A really fun course. It's set up to allow for a few grip and rip shots, and there are quite a few really technical shots. It's really hard to understand where you're headed at times on this course. After finishing up hole 8 it seemed like the natural place for 9 to be was right in...

2.50 star(s) Kinda tight It has 18 holes, and some of them are quite good. There are a couple shots where you can really drive a disc, but on the whole the course is pretty short with really tight fairways. I think that hole 6--the one that starts on top of a hill and ends just outside the graveyard--is my...

Course Intro

Rend Lake College media

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone has any helpful hints of finding some funding for a new disc golf course on private land? I teach at Rend Lake College in Ina, IL and I'm trying to get a professional level course set up around campus. One of the main sticking points is the funding, as our...
