Trinity Links<---Joliet(Lockport)

Great baskets! Fairly new Mach 2's & catch great. I liked a few holes on this course but hated the layout. It was a pain trying to figure out where to go. Some of the holes were impossible. If you like a challenge, this is the place to go. This is probably the most difficult course I have played. It was in a strange area. Jay & I didn't see anyone for hours. It wasn't the nicest of areas either. I was waiting for Bubba to come out of the woods looking for some anal cavity.

I agree with Brett 100% on his assesment. To recap. Excellent baskets. Very tough holes. Very poor layout.



We missed I think two holes because we couldn't find them. You had to backtrack a couple of times to get to the next tee. It sees little usage if any at all, so things are a bit overgrown in places. Very Children of the Corn feel.



Verdict, I would not play here again. West Park and New Leonx are a ton better in my opinnion.

This is a tough course and isn't too bad really.  It has some rough terrain.  The stupid thing is there are so many holes that dogleg 90 degrees so that you can't get to them, but they are only 150-250 ft. so they are easy threes.  Without these holes the course would be much better.  There are some bomber holes which are fun.  The course itself is ugly to look at.

Mirth,

   Can you move Dan's post here?

Impossible to the point where most the shots are luck? (Adlers Hole 4/ Beviers impossible-tight wood hole)

[CEValkyrie]

Impossible like you have a 90 degree corner to cut thru trees. Any type of shot is impossible to get there for a birdie but easy 3. This is Chris Heeren's favorite course .

Is it? Hahaha

Well then it must SUCK!

Didn't we play that at Peoria? Hmm..

[CEValkyrie]

This course has White & Red Tee. The Red Tees (Longs) are very hard to find. Not all holes have Red tees.

Mirth,

   Can you move Dan's post here?

What are you talking about? Its right above yours.

[airspuds]

some baskets missing 

only got about  9  holes in before rain came   

2 baskets missing  at least 

[mtaudio]

is this course even worth checking out???

[Mukey]

It is if all the baskets are there. I used to live in Lockport & played this a lot as it was close.

[mtaudio]

...sounds like I want to play it w/someone who knows the layout...


What's the schule like??      (ie potential for lost disc) ...I'd consider West  low to med...  Lemon Lake= Hell, bring spotter & weedwacker

[Mukey]

Shule is OK this time of year except near the pond. Bring bug spray if you go.

Well i decided to go out to Trinity Links to continue hitting new courses.  What this turned into was a semi-scary car ride into a under-privileged part of town.  I was able to shoot the first four holes, then ran into the course curator . 

A really nice guy who was taking all the baskets down.  He says that theft of the baskets is at an all time high and the course has really not been maintained well.  I guess the land belongs to a psychiatric hospital, and disc golf was always the second priority.  Well because of the low use the hospital gives the course they intend on cleaning up the course and trying to get more people out there.  He says later this summer they will have the course cleaned up and new baskets installed. 

This course is only going to have baskets 1-4 installed the next couple months.   He (I wish I got a name) said look for signs up at the local disc golf courses because they intend on advertising the re-grand opening later this summer ....


P.S.   I brought 40% DEET bug spray and wouldn't go 1 percent lower at this course

This course should be really nice when it's repaired. Steve Olson has put in a lot of hours already, so be sure to thank him when you see him. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.

[skipache]

great course just needs people like steveO and jack, im cool with helping just not good at getting places 

[Abelardo Arenas]

If you mean like having a workday to get things cleared or moved or cleaned up or whatever, I could probably get some guys from the club (Fox Valley Metro) to come down for that. We'd just have to know in advance, to arrange it.

You can send me a personal message if you would ever like our help with that.

[airspuds]

i always thought this was a good course
but what do i know

why steal baskets when you can get your own for less than you paid for your ipod, gym shoes, or gas to get to the course ?

maybe they should just make it an object course (rail road ties standing up) for a year

[Daniel_K]

 I had the same experience, we met Steve (Just learned his name).  He told us about the theft and it was definitely a little depressing to hear about that because i think the course shows tons of promise.

Look forward to see you guys out there!
