Dan Nagel and I are working on an 18 hole design (with the input of a few local kids who initiated the project). Marilla is a beautiful park. Probably looking at a course par of around 58-59.
Front 9 will be a little more geared towards the rec players, but still fun for non- beginners. Back 9 will be some pretty awesome disc golf. We've got some elevation to work with along with some Pontiac/Mokena type land.
We've got a legit par 5 already mapped out at 860 ft. You've got to hit a landing zone at about 270-290 (downhill). You then dogleg right with a small river on your left and a hillside/woods on your right. 400+ ft of open upshots till you hit the final 100+ ft where you need to navigate a handful of trees to the green.
Hoping to get a design finalized this Fall and course installed in the Spring.
Sounds awesome! When do you think it will open? It's great seeing so many 18 holers popping up.
