Pros:
Watts Park is a small, very clean city park located in the affluent Chicago suburb of Glencoe. The park has tennis courts, a ball field and a nice smattering of mature trees. These trees come into play on most every hole, either have to shape your shots around them or serving as basket protectors.
The course has indoor-outdoor carpet tee pads. Right now, they're fairly new and look nice. The signs are homemade but give you the basic info. The older baskets work well here.
The course is excellent for beginners. There is really no chance for losing a disc, offers up one creative, challenging hole and lets newer players gain confidence without hunting for their discs in tall grass.
All the holes are between 225 and 260'. Easily the signature hole here is # 9. It's a fairly simple hyser shot up the chute of a small sledding hill. But the hill has a small fence up both sides with small trees and bushes growing behind it. If you miss the window here, you will be left with a interesting shot over the fence and through the foliage.
Cons:
Tee sign missing on # 1.
The house on the corner by # 7 probably gets more than a few wild hyser drives landing in their yard. I hope they're OK with players retrieving them.
The course is short with no holes over 260' and not much in the way of obstacles.
Other Thoughts:
I can see the draw of this course. It's just a fun, no-stress little series of ACE runs. Perfect course for beginners but an enjoyable rec course for many of us. I hear it get's crowded with the school crowd but as frustrating as it gets sharing a course with them, I love seeing them come out and play.
