Elwood Disc Golf Course

I don’t know why this course is rated as well as it is. Had to constantly walk halfway or more toward the basket on each hole just find out where the basket was because you’re doing blind dog legs, up and downhill with no ability to see what you’re throwing at. There was glass everywhere and when I say everywhere I mean everywhere. Everywhere I looked and walked shattered glass of all kinds - like enough to make stained glass mosaics. So. Much. Glass. I’m one hole I really needed to do a kneeling approach/putt shot, but opted to crouch instead because I was concerned I might actually cut my knee if I knelt. Until the 12th hole or so It felt like Every t-shot was a tunnel shot. And Nothing but trash everywhere. I almost sprained my ankle on a discarded electrical box. Saw an agitator for a washing machine just thrown out there. Oh and some dude literally drove a jeep up one of the walking paths (still not sure how he did it) at like 10 or 11 and just started playing from there. What the what? I only played the first 18, but it felt like a poorly maintained hillbilly-burnout’s playground. And once the leaves start to fall, this course has got to be a disaster. And did I mention…GLASS. Least favorite course i’ve played to date. Be better, Elwood. Take care of your public spaces! I will not be back.

This was a great course to play during a hot summer day. The shade through the forest was welcomed!

Highly technical par 3 course that will challenge you. Beautiful sketches in the trees.

A course with glass and personality.

"Technical" to the point of being unpleasant. Trees blocking every basket, and if you hit one (which is highly likely), it will likely bounce into heavy brush or a creek. One of the few courses where I made a beeline to get to hole 18. Oh yeah, and there's broken glass everywhere on hole 1.

Big shot variety, over grown but not unplayable

She’s fun, not dog friendly though

Course built on landfill but worth playing. Technical and hilly

Lots of the same shots. Dirty. Some pads missing. But not a terrible course. They make good use of what they have. I had fun even though I played terrible

Good course but needs more upkeep and better pads

If the broken glass was gone it would be a 4 star

Tough course to play the first time on your own but I could see the appeal once you know the basket locations. Good course for those without a big arm. Shot shaping is the key to most these holes. Signage shows alternate locations but doesn't indicate which one is in use. Some of the added holes lack true pads/signs. Nice tight layout that makes good use of the elevation changes. Brought my cart but regretted it. If I were to play it again I'd likely just need a half-dozen discs. Only threw a driver twice, everything else was putters/mids. Creatively decorated.

Glass, glass everywhere.

It’s just terrible, not an enjoyable course to play. The gaps aren’t true and the holes just aren’t well made. There is also glass over the ground everywhere. The only people who could enjoy this course are beginners.

Some great holes. Others poke and pray.

Beautiful holes and well maintained fairways. Not for beginners but a short technical course for intermediate players and above. Only flaws were the glass on the ground through the course but it wasn’t sharp and on the letter holes the tee pads got confusing on a couple holes but not worth taking a star away.

I made the mistake of finding this place in the winter. After 4 summer rounds I find this place terrible and pointless. It’s walk path wide, and when there’s an actual 35’ fairway you get to throw through 10,15,20 trees in it. If you go into the rough it’s 10 minutes trying to find your disc. I liked it when I found this course and liked the challenge, but it is just not good.

One of the best courses in the tri county area

The course is great, we loved the hole layouts and terrain. The letter holes need pads and better markings, updated pad maps on all holes would be nice. At the very least needs a map on UDisc. Still gets 4 stars from me, playing the course is a lot of fun.
