I was really surprised when I got there.

Tees-> Cement, looked like they were just poured.
Baskets-> Mach2's
Tee Signs-> Looked new & all in good shape.

It was very easy to find my way around this course. There are 2 separate 9 hole courses. They must have expanded & decided not to number them 1-18 for some reason. Both 9's start near the parking lot & end near the parking lot. The park was very well kept similar to Lombard Madison Meadows but it had some really nice rolling hills & elevation. There was shule on the course in areas but it really didn't come into play. My only negatives about the course is that with some new pin placements, this could be a really challenging course bringing shule and water into play. Also, after you holed out, you had to walk backwards to get to many of the tees. Overall, this is a fun course & could be spectacular with minor alterations. There is plenty of room for more holes too.

I had to read my description since it's been almost 2 years since I played this course. I was a 320 ft throwing Advanced player at the time. This course is very frustrating. It has the land to make it a top course in IL. Instead it's just an average course on some sweet land!!!! For example, hole #1 off the parking lot is a 225 foot open hole. About 50ft back there are some nice pine trees and a creek. Instead of them coming into play it's a wide open Fairfield hole. Hole #3 is identical. It's a 200ft  putter hole. Behind the basket is a monsterous tree and a steep hill. Neither come into play.
