Short 9 hole course. Cement tees with nice baskets. Many dueceable holes. Even though it was rather short I really enjoyed the course. No way to lose any discs but quite a few drives that requiered excellent placement through trees. Somewhat compareable to Bevier. I ended up playing a glow round & it is awesome. I guess they have glow rounds every friday night in the summer. Lots of disc golfers there. I give it a thumbs up. It is only 2 miles from Madison Meadows in Lombard. It is an 18 hole course.
I agree; a nice course with virtually no chance of losing discs. Also, challenging due to all of the trees that you need to play around to get at the holes. However, it can get a can get a little crowede like it did on Sunday when I was there. Several large groups play with 6-8 people at a time, which really seems to clog up play.
I think this course is very similar to Madison Meadows in Lombard only 9 holes. Open, trees but not too dense. I would definately play this course if i was in the area but i wouldn't go out of my way...
This course has changed a lot since CEValkyrie's original post. They have removed most of th trees that made this course so technical. It's now pretty much as Daniel said. It's a shorter version of Madison now. There are still a few tricky shots, but, nothing like it used to be.

I heard the storm last week took down quite a few trees on the course as well. Doh!
if anyone is interested we are playing glow at this course on Halloween
On the DGCR course listing http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=458 (http://www.dgcoursereview.com/course.php?id=458) this course is listed as having long tees. Does anyone know their locations or have a map? Or were they part of the old layout?

I didn't even know this course still existed. I thought it was private now.

It still exists and is public. It's nothing special, but its close to my house and is a good place for a quick round. Hopefully someone knows more about the longs, if not I will make up my own and just measure them out with google earth.
Long teepads do exist. They are mostly just worn out dirt patches that are (kinda) hard to find. I don't recall where all of them are off the top of my head unfortunately.
Try this website if it still works. It is blocked at my office. I believe they were on there
***edit wrong site the first time***
www.commonparkdiscgolf.com
not sure if it is still a working site though.
If no one can give you the info, I will go over there and figure them out for you in the next couple days. It just been to long since I've played them. It's closest course to our friend's house and my wife loves the excuse to go see their baby. And then my buddy gets out of the house for a bit. It's win-win.
Thanks Whitechocolate, I never saw evidence of old tees but maybe I didn't search hard enough. I had seen that link for the park website before, but alas it no longer works.
Don't go to too much trouble on my acount. But if you are planning on heading out that way, let me know and I can (depending on timing) meet you up there. Thanks again.
