Fantastic Pics Mike!!!! Can't wait to play this course. My favorite baskets, new MachIII"s.

Is this a Gary Lewis project? If so, could you get him to move up to Northern IL for a few years.

Where do you think Gary does his courses? ALL of them are in Northern Illinois! If you look at a map PEORIA is even in Northern Illinois. I thought it was only Chicagoans who referred to anything south of Chicago as "down state"!

any one  got any ideas on an airial map
or topographical map

Well, when you grow up in true Central Illinois around the Bloomington/Normal Area, you consider Chicago to be in Northern Illinois. Since I now live North of Chicago, the Joliet area is more like South Chicago rather then Northern Illinois. Considering it takes the same travel time from both to get to Joliet, I guess there's no difference. What i'm really trying to say, Gary come up near the Illinois/Wisconsin border & get a championship calibur course installed. Please . Mad props to Gary. I have no clue how he does it but he must have some magic to get so many park districts to put courses in.

I'm thinking of checking this out this Saturday 1/17. Noonish.

Supposed to be 40+ degrees.

Or I could go to Parkside. About the same distance for me.

well, so much for long-term weather forecasts...

If this ice storm is as predicted, I'm not going anywhere this Saturday except to the park to throw when the sleet finally stops.

should finally make it up to League on Sunday though. Jim, will you be there/ have my Roc?

Anyone interested in checking the course out this Saturday 3/6?

if it's not too rainy...

This is going to be a GREAT course.

Two holes still aren't in yet, and the signage isn't up; I played 25 with a local, otherwise I'd have been clueless.

Played from the middle tees, which are plenty long enough, but a # of birdie/ace runs at that length. (had one deuce, blew about 3 others.) Trees everywhere but not exactly tight, although many protected pins. Lots of lefty/anhyzer holes; largely designed by Steve Matul (lefty) and Roy Carey (lots of forehands), I understand, but there are routes for righties on most holes.

Couple of weird fairway crossings though, which could be nasty when it's crowded. Should be gorgeous in the summer when the leaves grow in; pretty sloppy right now. Creek runs through in several places which will really come into play after heavy rains.

I was expecting a few tight woods holes but there aren't any, unless they're the 2 holes not up yet. Course reminds me a little of Bradley in Peoria if anything.

Well worth a trip - it's actually closer than Parkside for me

Can't wait to play this course!!
