didn’t get a round in here, just can’t believe this is the course i started playing on. A must play if you’re close but be ready to be annoyed

Hole 9 has some (hopefully very temporary) construction in the middle.

If you're going to the college or live nearby, it's probably cool to have a course nearby. However, if you're just in Chicago visiting and want to try a course nearby don't go here. Lol It wasn't worth the $30 in Uber charges. The baskets are in terrible shape and the tee pads are the worst I've experienced. The signs are correct at least and it wasn't terrible, just not worth a trip.

Definitely not a great spot for a disc golf course, but it works out ok when not busy with students. I could see if you are a student here it might be nice to whip around in-between classes or something. This course would be hard to play on school days without worrying about hitting a pedestrian (as there are a ton). It is also annoying that you can't really lap this course (especially when playing 8 and 9). Not sure how any layout change would happen here, but it would be nice if there was more space. Also, the layout map on UDisc is slightly inaccurate. Not a big deal, but just something that is a super easy fix. Also, I think not just the few players but moreso the school would benefit from newer baskets. The old rusted baskets look and sound terrible. They don't just make the course look junky but the campus looked junky because of it which is really unfortunate. The school should consider putting in custom Mach VII or Mach X baskets that match the school colors or something. DGA allows you to do this when you buy their baskets through them. Yes, having baskets like that for a layout like this would be a little overkill, but they would not just look much better, they would also be an awesome upgrade for the players. Overall though, having a disc golf course on campus has gotta be awesome for the students that go here and it definitely utilizes the space it's in as good as it probably ever could.

nice beginner friendly course, signage and udisc are different but navigating was easy enough
@jacoblegge
Good casual course if you happen to be in Chicago. -1 star for no tee pads though.
@discrabbit
The space is just too awkward for good disc golf. Leave this one for the students 😎
@cletus84
I’m sure this is a great course for those who live nearby, but not really worth any sort of drive out
@jasonpuhr191533
Simple college campus course. Students were in the fairway on hole 1. It happens.
@reichmusic
Great job. Probably unplayable in busy school session or nice west here - would be nice to finish near hole 1- Par 2s are dumb? Ace or you are average?
@potatoehead77
Short course. Came on weekend and wasn’t busy with students. If you play strict on you can make it more challenging for yourself. Good value
@ecbnorge
Nice course for beginners or more advanced players who want to work on their approach shots.
@jimidiguana
Busy during the week, but still playable for the most part. Sometimes have to skip some holes because of people but can’t complain!
@owsnic001
Really nice little course given the space. Hole 9 is a really good par 4, and generally there are a nice mix of shots. Some holes are soft, but that's because of the space limitations. It's literally between campus buildings
@marcbahnsen
Fun urban course that is only really playable in the summer or off class hours… the pedestrians are too much otherwise.
@tracerbullet
Compact and quick to play. Definitely miss some of the holes that were removed when the new building was put in
@cannotthrow
Pretty busy with students a lot of the time. All holes are quite short except for 9. The new hole 9 is the old hole 5. It used to be a par 4 and is now a par 2. Bad mistake by whoever made that change on accident. Some of the shorter easier holes are par 3 even, while 9 has trees in the way and is further. Still fun to play.
