Rockford recently installed another 18-hole course.
Both courses are challenging in different ways:
Course #1 (East) is a beautiful long course with concrete tee-pads, open fairways, and pins in tight areas close to trees and shrubs
Course #2 (West) presents it's own challenges with tight wooded fairways and elevations changes

wow, that sounds great.
Is the construction around there done yet? Finding that park last summer w/ all the roads torn up was a struggle for this out-of-towner.
Damon,
I have not been out there this season yet - I gotta believe the road construction is finished. I plan on getting out there as soon as the gale force winds die down. Here is their site -

rockford guys raved about new course this weekend
what do you think of the web site ?
looks like good map into town
any short cut advise for us out of towners
might have to take day off (may 20) and go play here
i want to go up there this weekend
I might be able to get out there on Saturday morning (15th). I would think of starting about 8:30am to get done with both courses by noon.
there is a doubles tournament in rockford on August 8th (sunday). bring your own partner. starts at 9 a.m. its going to be a fun time.
bummer, i'll be @ Am Worlds.
played both courses today really nice. the new one is really hard its a great course
Played here yesterday. This course is very tough but lots of fun. I saw a guy hit the first basket on the west course with his tee shot as I was playing 18. He hit it square on the pole and it bounced out. The shot is a right handed hyzer about 235 feet. This course has a lot of nice righty shots. Being a lefty, I had to think hard before letting go. I plan to get back there on the afternoon of 10-12.
I have not played here yet but would like too. Wish the Rockford guys would sanction a tournament.
Last I heard Carl was working on becomming a PDGA official. He told me that they were looking towards next year for a C or B tier tourny. The course is the best in the area for a tourny.
that'd be awesome. hopefully they can find a weekend when nothing else is happening in this area. most of the summer got filled up this year.
