Need more or repaired directional signs. Especially going to hole 10. Many holes cross sidewalks or roads(not unusual for being on campus). Some nice holes. A decent course that is definitely worth playing.

Average course. Pros: shot variety, shape, and elevation. Cons: the tee pads don’t always line up to the hole, which is annoying cause they’re narrow, and next tee can be difficult to find. Overall: good use of campus space, tho not a top option it prioritizing a course in Rockford

Great course but a little busy. Scared to hit ppl or vehicles

Actually a lot of fun, lots of long shots and wooded corridors, NOTE- couldn't find hole 3 or 4 short hole, can't remember which. Might have missed it, but it wasn't obvious. Only thing I didn't like was having to throw long with a main road in the middle, good way to hit a car or get your disk ran over. But other than that, great course!

A definite must play again. The tee pad signage needs to be updated to inform pin location being played that day. Still a very nice course to play.

Rockford University is a very challenging course, partially because of the course design but mostly just due to the lack of upkeep. The holes that are out in the open on the campus are mowed and in decent shape, however, some of the more backwoods holes have completely overgrown fairways. I really like this course, because it's very convenient for me, but if I have time I typically play other courses in the area.

It’s pretty nice idk I just started playing disc golf. It’s a more technical course which is fun

Teepad shape takes some getting used to. Half the course is woods. A lot of attackable par 3s.

Wooded areas are great but course design is lacking/strange. Would not play again.

Make sure you have a disc retriever because this course is very wooded and full of poison ivy. Overall great course, signs point you to the next tee pads, a nice walk as it takes you around Rockford University’s campus. Lots of technical shots too.

Fun course with odd tee pads. That's the only downside of this course.

I’ll be honest, this is my favorite course layout in the Rockford area. Great shot shape variety on an attackable and technical set of holes. Having something this good in the heart of the city is great. The only knocks would be that the edges get a little rough at times, and some of the general course upkeep compared to some of the park courses in the area. But I can overlook some of that given that this is on a University campus, and ultimately we are the visitors here trying to remain respectful to students/staff. A must play!

The course itself is great. Variety of shots, open/wooded, and elevation. Some neat views and uses property well. Very clean for being on a school campus. Has arrows hanging from basket pointing to next hole. There is a long walk between a hole in the middle of campus. Not well signed for direction. Signage is old and outdated with incorrect pin positions and distances. Fun course however and worth playing if in area.
