    Loved this well maintained disc course for its variety of terrain (hills, bushes, grass, creeks,…read morepond, etc.) as it provides a beautiful land to play on. On the flip side, this course is one of the most challenging I've played on and definitely caters to those with a much higher skill level (otherwise you'll be spending a good amount of time looking for your discs, or losing them). You'll need good arm strength as some of these holes are over 650 feet away (not the longest -- for example, 905 feet on hole 18 at Squaw Creek, 810 feet on hole 17 at Fairfield White, 930 feet on hole 13 at Anna Page Park South,), which is a bit longer than most holes you'll find in other courses in the NW suburbs. The people here are very friendly. During my visit, I received some coaching on my throw, there was a another group who took time out of their day to help me find a lost disk, and people were overall very social. If you get tired of disc golfing, there's also great walking walking trails that run along-side the course so you can still get a wonderful view of nature while being mostly safe from being hit by discs. Overall, excellent forest preserve and course and I'd love to visit here again soon!

    Experts probably like this course, but for amateurs there are just too many high risk areas. We…read morewere constantly worried about losing our discs between the tall grass, thick brush, and hidden creek. We skipped some holes, played super conservative on others, and birddogged each others shots on others. The pro side of it is that this also means it has great variety - hills, trees, water hazards, narrow or curvy shots. It's just hard for casual players to have fun. Watch out for mud.

    A very interesting course for disc golf. It can be a little difficult to find the entrance to this…read morepark as the lot is not very obvious when driving by it on the street. The course itself is fairly large but spread out quite widely in a circle. This means that you run across lots of difficult obstacles such as tall grasses, water, bridge, fence, etc. If you don't have good control over your aim, it's easy to get discs lost in the terrain and spend a good amount of time looking for them. With that said, it's quite an interesting course to play and a good challenge if you play at rolling knolls as well. Between these courses, you'll experience quite a bit of obstacles. I do like how this course is a bit flatter than some others if you do not enjoy spending lots of time climbing hills, but there is also a raised basket and a basket on a hill if you need the practice. Worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a challenge

    Been playing here for well over a dozen years. It's a long, rather flat and open 18 hole course…read more Baskets are the Chainstar type. Tees are mostly concrete, with a couple holes teeing off a path or dirt. There are alternate tees and holes on 12 and 14, off the top of my head, but it's easiest just to play off the standard tees. Alternate hole placements change up the course a bit during the year. Overall, a great course to let your arm rip, for those that love distance. Watch out for the swampy area, which affects about 4 holes, as you can easily lose discs in there. Got my first hole-in-one here, on the old hole 13 (the hole where you had to shoot blindly into the woods). It's a shame that the new 13 is the total opposite of the old one.

    I've never played disc golf before, nor have I ever had an interest. However, when my friend Kelly…read moreW. asked if I wanted to try this place in Roselle, I gave it a shot. Why not? So on one of the rare, hot days this summer, we found ourselves trying to navigate this course. The best way to get here is to park in or near the Waterbury Elementary School parking lot and walk on over. Originally, my directions led me to some residential parking lot on the other side of the park, but I wasn't able to park there or I'd be towed. Go to the school instead. You have been warned. Goose Lake Park has a nine-hole disc golf course that takes about two hours to complete. There's no maps, so you need to find them ahead of time or just wander around and figure it out yourselves. Boxes of sand mark the starting spots to throw from and the baskets are clearly marked with yellow paint. We managed to find eight of the nine holes and only completed six or seven of them. We were exhausted from the walking and tossing! The only annoying things about the course were the clusters of tall grass! My frisbee kept ending up in the grass and it took us time to find them if we weren't paying attention to where they landed. I was wearing shorts and flip flops; it's not fun walking through tall grass with those on. Once I got the hang of tossing the frisbees, they didn't go in the grass anymore. Whew. I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would, though! Since I haven't played disc golf before, I can't really compare this to other locations. Yet, the lack of maps, the slightly confusing course design, and the annoying tall grass puts this at a three-star rating for me. It's OK. I'd come back, but I'm not in love. In addition to the disc golf course and walking path, there's a baseball field and playground for the kiddies. It's a quiet spot -- we only came across a couple other people walking dogs while we were there.

    I found out about this course on disc golf website. It has nine holes and theyre easy to spot and…read morethrow from. They clearly marked where to throw from using boxes full of sand with signs telling you how far it is and what is par. The park is well maintained with tall grasses in clusters. It is hard to figure out where to park, but you park near the Waterbury Elementary School and the first hole is right by the parking lot. It also has a gorgeous baseball field and a biking track through the park. Furthers mere, you can have kids play on the playground there. It was a great course that was well maintained, easy to find the holes and where to throw from, and short for new beginningers.
