Pros:
This is a challenging course. Not impossible, but challenging.
Weekly $8 dollar doubles tournaments 6 pm Tuesday's.
Under the bridge at hole 2 is a disc retriever to fish your discs out of the shallow water. Look inside the railings under the bridge.
My "Pros" section is small for a reason. There are not a lot.
Good holes:
4: Very nice par 4, whip out your most under stable driver. Very rewarding birides! Not a gimmie.
6: Nice placement shot with an elevated basket,
15: Nice par 5, 850 ish feet, very birdie-able.
Cons:
You are playing in a marsh. If you decide to play this course, I just want you to understand its a full blown marsh. I don't mean the ground is a little wet. This is a marsh. Cattails, standing water, algae, frogs, snakes, bugs, long saw grass.
This course loves to eat discs. I'm just going to say, with no exaggeration, if you throw in the cattails, your disc or shoes and socks are gone.
Horribly maintained.
Bring a towel, the water is absolutely foul. In every imaginable way. If you need to get a disc out. Be prepared.
Not a nice area, I hide everything under my seats when I park my car. Do not leave valuables in your car.
Parking lot is terrible and hard to find. Also once you get into the parking lot, you'll probably be very confused to where the disc golf is. Tee 1 is hidden behind giant park district service trucks.
Bad holes:
Hole 1, 2 and 3 are a little lack luster, not terrible, but they don't really get you engaged in the game.
Hole 7: Cattails right, you do not want to go it.
Hole 8: Very brutal OB if you play doubles. You have to have the right disc for this hole. If not, no big deal easy lay up and the hole is enjoyable.
Hole 9: I'm not going to type an essay describing this hole. But its a ticky tacky shot in which you throw a boring hyzer, from an open tee pad, through a mini tunnel for a lay up shot. It's impossible to drive the full 300 feet of the hole, because if you put that sort of speed on the disc you cant make the mini tunnel's turn. I tomahawk over.
Hole 10: Cattails = dead disc
Hole 11: You have to own a sidewinder or roadrunner for this hole, you have to play it with a spotter. Or you'll search forever! Even if you make it over. There is no vision whatsoever of the basket. You throw blind over 75 yards of cat tails in all directions.
Hole 12: Long grass on the left and you're searching for 20 minutes at least.
Hole 13: I hope you're a lefty, and the way the trees are discourage forehands.
Hole 14, if you throw a disc into the woods on the left. It's super gone. It's very dense brambles, thorn trees and thorn bushes.
Other Thoughts:
I don't mean to rip on the course too much. I just want people to know what they're getting into. The course does offer some nice holes, and even some elevated baskets. Just prepare to lose a disc.
The course also has a local disc hunter who spends all day everyday hunting discs and if your name and number is on it. He will call and sell it back to you for 5 dollars.
The people are not friendly
