Lost a black and pink heart dyed Detour on Hole 1. If you find it please let me know, 209-535-6184, and I will come to you to get it. Thank you!

Very tight lines on some holes. Great course to work on midrange game. Water can come into play on a few holes, but not really a concern
@geigerhyzer
Clean park course with plentiful wood chips on the fairways. Short and flat with some OB and water.
@johntpt25
beautiful little course! parking is challenging, but street parking seemed to be OK. Just passed the park entrance/playground.
@quentenfisher
This is a perfect example of a technical park course. Super neat use of the tight fairways and water. Absolutely loved it.
@elib34r
It's a dinky little course with a lot of overlapping fairways. Half the tee pads are from the walking path. Definitely doesn't deserve the 4 stars it currently has
@tedler2462
The rough was absolutely brutal. Stay on the fairway and your good. Easy ace race course.
@discrabbit
Course has improved a lot with respect to maintenance. It's playable now!
@the1andonlyisla
Matt thinks this course sucks but it's a great pitch and putt course to hone your game, hidden in a neighborhood.

One of my least favorite courses in the area. The local dubs league that runs leagues here during the winter rave about it, but I could never seem to find the fun in the course. It feels so smushed together and the course design is very boring and monotonous. It's a nice park for sure, but I feel like it doesn't belong as a disc golf course and it should have stayed as a local park for people to walk their dogs through and take there kids on nature walks.

Fairways are nicely mulched, but rough is thick. Keep them in the fairway and watch your step on the turf pads, but this course is loaded with ace runs and always a good time.

If throwing for aces gets your juices flowing; then this is the course for you! This track flows nicely through a picturesque neighborhood park. A great place for a relaxing round of shot-shaping. PROS: • enjoyable for all levels – beginner through advanced • challenges with different lines through a variety of obstacles • good turf tee pads + accurate signage. CONS: • there is definitely the risk of losing a disc on this course, so don’t forget your “water disc”. The middle section has several holes that bring water into play • the basket on hole #1 was damaged about a year ago and still hasn’t been repaired/replaced. I always enjoy chasing chains on this par 3 course which is kind of unique for the Chicagoland area.

Super short woodsy course. Great for a quick round and some shot shaping practice. A nice bonus before or after playing Knolls
@lossingdiscs
Great pitch and putt course or a great wooded course for beginners. Some difficult shots or small island greens to keep you on your toes.
@caseinpoint
Great short technical course. Lots of shots through trees.
@tglasgow
Adding a half star because course maintenance was done! So much better and actually playable!
