2.50 star(s) Nice course that could use some work I found a lot of this course to be fairly challenging, with a decent amount of obstacles. Some holes were more wide open then others, but I liked the balance that was provided. The concrete tees are nice, and what signs are there are fairly straight...

1.50 star(s) Cramped course with little challenge Most holes have concrete tees, markers on each hole listing the distance and general direction of the basket (though help isn't needed there). Course starts and ends near the parking lot, which is always convenient. Ample parking so long as other events...

3.50 star(s) Fun course with some challenge Course is pretty easy to follow once you find the first tee. There is ample parking since this is part of a massive park complex. There are rubber tees and signs for each hole which include information on where you'll need to go to get to the following hole...

2.50 star(s) Decent little course This course was pretty easy to follow. I think only once did I throw out of order and that was going from 17 to 18 (there is a hole in between). The path winding through the park acts as the tee pad in most cases, while there are turf pads for holes in the woods. Signage...

I'm thinking of heading over to Shady Oaks in Streamwood and Black Bear Park in Hoffman Estates this morning. It's a gorgeous day and it'd be a shame to waste it. I'll probably be getting to Shady Oaks at 9:00 if anyone is interested in meeting for a round or two.

Hey all, first time posting here. I'm located in the western suburbs of Chicago near Bloomingdale. I haven't been very active playing in the last couple of years but I'm looking to get out there and spend a lot of time out on the courses this summer. I'm willing to travel around the area to...

2.00 star(s) A simple course Very well maintained, easy to follow course. Concrete tees and decent baskets on all holes. Slight elevation changes on the opening holes is nice. Good course for a beginner or an easy round. Very simple course, as there is very little by way of obstacles. Any trees on the...

2.50 star(s) Not sure how I feel about this course... Decent layout. I believe this course used to be nine holes only, and they've expanded to 18 in the last 5-10 years. Good amount of parking for this larger course. Decent obstacles, though not on every hole. Fair layout, providing a number of different...

4.50 star(s) The best in Chicagoland! This is such a long, pretty course and is so great to play. There is such a variety in holes, and the elevation changes, though modest, are very nice for the area. Shorter and longer holes are mixed up, and there is a good variety of wooded and open holes...really...

3.50 star(s) Quality 18 Holes Very nice concrete tees, two per hole. Course is very pretty, being right on Jericho Lake and a creek. Holes flowed very well into one another, the course certainly didn't feel contrived. A very nice use of space. Some longer holes, some tighter holes with good obstacles -...

4.00 star(s) Great Course! Very well marked holes and clear tees. Great flow, as each hole easily goes to the next (though the walk from 8 to 9 seems a bit contrived). Big elevation changes, which is unusual for this area. Holes 6-9 have very well built stairs which is definitely necessary. This is a...

3.00 star(s) A decent course to play The concrete tees and markers are very nice. The signs are definitely better than at Anna Page West, this is an easier course to follow. Very good elevation and lots of trees provide for a challenging round. Not a bad mix of longer and shorter holes, as well as open...

3.50 star(s) Pretty nice course Concrete tees on all holes is nice. Very good elevation changes for the area, with lots of trees as obstacles. There was a nice mix of wooded holes and wide open holes, and the distance was pretty fair. Some longer holes, but overall, great balance The course was fairly...

2.50 star(s) Neat little course Each tee is clearly marked with a posted sign. Quality markers detail where the specific holes are, but it doesn't matter, as this course has a decent flow. Really surprising elevation changes on this little park, and some pretty well placed trees. For the most part, this...

3.00 star(s) A nice course to play Nice use of space in this park, as there are nine fun holes to play. Some, though not all, are pretty challenging. A couple of longer ones, with some fairly wooded holes as well. Requires some skill, but not the hardest I've played. Clearly marked tees and holes - it...
