Indian Oaks has been on my wishlist for quite awhile. It's just far enough out from the suburbs that it was never convenient, but there are a few other decent courses not too far away to make a morning of it. The course is getting older and while the tee signs and baskets are pretty nice, the course is definitely starting to show its age and could use a bit of a facelift. Tee signs are a mix of multiple varieties, and poles from old flags on top of baskets are mostly worn out and missing said flags.

The maintenance was pretty good here although grass was a bit long in places. The mosquitoes were abysmal in the woods. Taking pictures of tee signs was brutal; you essentially have to keep moving constantly or you will get eaten alive, even with DEET. It is a multi-use park but was empty when I was there. You may have to watch out for other parkgoers at times.

Rough was generally manageable and while some of the holes on this course weren't very remarkable, holes 4-12 shine with some excellent technical woods golf. There are some very long walks between a few holes but signage is generally quite good. I don't get the tee signs with smiley faces on them, this felt gimmicky to the point of being cringey and isn't something I've seen before. I hope I don't see it again, give me those sweet hole elevation profiles the bougie signs have.

My main complaint in the woods if we ignore the mosquitoes was hole 5, which is over 500 feet and makes some hard zig zagging through the woods. There's just no conceivable way to throw a drive from the white tee that makes it most of the distance down the fairway, which makes it a bad hole design. It can be difficult, even extremely difficult, but this hole objects to the physics of disc flight.

After hole 12 things get a bit dull and repetitive again, with the final several holes leading back away from the parking near the start and not adding a ton of variety. Hole 14 was a bit interesting though, playing with a little stand of trees to the right. If you throw your disc in here prepare for a bit of a hunt, there's a crazy number of really thin trunks that are really flexible. it was a weird experience walking over the spongy, mossy ground in these hunting for a disc. Did not feel like Illinois.

Overall, this course is fairly flat and about half of it is really interesting and challenging while the other half is fairly forgettable. I think this course failed to live up to my expectations a bit; it's a decent course but nothing too spectacular. The woods holes are probably more dense than most area courses, so I do give it credit for the serenity and natural feel of that part of the course.

Definitely a very challenging course. Most of the holes are in the woods--long, with plenty of doglegs to keep you busy. If you don't know how to shape a good line, you're going to have a terrible time here.

Tee posts are very informative and accurate, which is necessary for winding courses like this. There are plenty of signs directing you towards the next tee as well.

The baskets are very nice. Not a single spit-out while I was there, and they're kept pretty clean. Tall flags make them really easy to spot, which is handy for these holes.

Definitely one of the more scenic courses that I've been through, though I'm one who enjoys the wooded areas in general. The tall ceilings really give a sense of scale to your surroundings.

Just taking the holes into consideration, it's not a bad course. That said, the flow is horrendous. It's a long, long walk from tee to tee, especially in the wooded areas, and there's plenty of unnecessary backtracking.
Since a lot of golfers come out during the summer, the terrible flow of the course can really be torture on the hotter days. The wooded areas get extremely muggy and the bugs will get to you.
The walk from Hole 18 back to Hole 1 is a long one, so park somewhere close.

Carpeted tee pads aren't my thing, and when I played here they were pretty sunken in. Some of them are obscenely short for some of the throws you have to make.

I'm an intermediate player who enjoys challenging courses, so my opinion of this course isn't because I suck at disc golf. The holes themselves were okay--it's the course flow that really ruined it for me. I never felt like I was actually going anywhere and the lack of variety made it feel very monotonous.

It's not the ideal course to play alone. There are plenty of blind throws to make, and the rough is very unforgiving.

I'm starting my rating at 3.0 with potential of 3.5 to 4.0. Once concrete tees are installed and the wood holes are cleaned up a bit i'll adjust my rating accordingly.

This is a very nice park. Most of the park is rather flat but has some minor rolling hills in a couple of places. Half of the holes play in semi open areas with large trees. Many of the semi open holes have thick rough off the fairway. The other half are in the woods with some nasty thick rough! This is a much needed challenge and great addition to the area.

There is a practice basket located south of hole #1's tee.

Brand new blue powder coated Discraft Chainstars. Each basket has an estimated 3 foot long pole on top with a flag attached. The baskets are highly visable.

The tee signs are very nice. Very descriptive with distances of both short (red) and long (white) tees. Tee signs are located at the long white tees. I'm interested in seeing the youtube scan when it's complete. Another nice addition is the ace board underneath the sign. Good area to write names for hole in ones.

This is a very challenging course with a wide varitey of shots. It's very unique to the area as heavy rough comes into play. Poor shots and lack of course management will make you pay. There are several nice par 4's and a difficult par 5 on the course. I suggest beginning players and less experienced to play the red tees.

I was very impressed with the signage. Each basket has a next tee sign at the base of the pole and many areas have signs leading to the next tee. I did not print a map and had only 1 problem finding a tee. That was hole #13.

Currently the tee pads are grass, dirt, and carpet. Many are not level and some of the wooded holes are short. I did not play the red tees but looked at them and some were not playable in the woods. I had dry conditions so it wasn't that bad. I'd imagine after rain it'd be slick and difficult to throw.

The wooded holes are very rough! The fairways themselves need to be cleaned up quite a bit and the walking paths to the next holes as well.

There are quite a few blind holes. Along with the heavy rough this course is difficult to play by yourself. Losing discs is a possibility. Bring a spotter.

Beginning players are going to find this course very challenging and possibly frustrating. Try the red tees first!

There is an option to stay out of the heavy woods. Play 1, 2, 3, then 12 thru 18.

Educate yourself about poison ivy. I saw some in the fairways and rough in the woods.

It's been an extremely dry summer in Northern Illinois. Bugs didn't bother me too bad today but i'd suggest bringing bug spray.

I have a feeling that this course will break in as time goes on. It's very fresh and when you get off the fairway it's difficult to move around and find discs. As time goes on and it gets more play it will hopefully become more player friendly.
