Northwest IL courses

[sportsdude25]

Anyone in the nw corner of Illinois has a fine array of choice courses to play. Living approx. 2 hrs. west of the windy city, this area has some fine (and challenging) courses. There is a long, tough 18 hole course in Sterling,IL that will test even experienced players skills. Freeport,IL offers a fine 18 hole course in Krape Park. There are 9 hole courses in Mt. Carroll and Savanna, IL in Carroll Co., as well as courses in Fulton, Morrison and Rock Falls, IL. So, next time you are in the area bring your discs and check them out. Loads of fun!!!!!

C'mon nw IL disc golfers,
Anyone from this area know of any courses I may have missed? Post them on this thread, as I'm looking for some new courses to play. Or, if you are from this area, post and maybe we can get together and play a round on one of these fine courses. Let me hear from ya . . . Sportsdude25

I can't believe there are no northwestern IL disc golfers out there that don't want to try these fine courses. C'mon discers, let's play!!

Sorry, the only courses in IL that I've played are in Peoria and the Quad Cities.

Hey Furthur,
If ya ever get up this way give me a holler and I'll turn ya on to a few of these courses. They are about an hour northeast of the Quad Cities.

I live in IL, Joliet to be specific. I can't say I have ever been west to play any courses. This is because I am limited because of school and well because I can't drive (I get my license next Thur!).

[ziggy]

i was born and raised in rockford, i have had the luxury of trying out the courses you listed..

my top three for your vicinty

Rockford
Sterling
Quad Cities (yes a bit of a drive but worth it for a 1 day road trip)

unfortunately, i live in Springfield now

If you have the chance to take a drive to Mokena there is a really nice course there. Getting there sucks but it is worth it.

[sportsdude25]

Where is Mokena? I've heard of it but don't know for sure how to get there.

If you're looking for a drive, go to the QC and play West Lake. 24 holes of the best thought out golf I've ever played. Plenty of birdies, plenty of par 5's make this one of the funnest courses you'll ever play. Mature tree holes, open crushers, technical woods, elevation, and lots of water make this a course with nearly every type of shot.

Trust me. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

I've never played the QCA courses but would love to try them all.

Not sure about jmammo but I will be there on Sunday to play at channy. Can't pass up a tourney at one of the home courses!

I've played six of the seven nw IL courses in my area this summer and hope to get to #7 this next week. I'd have to say Sinnissippi in Sterling is the toughest as they continue to change basket locations making this a VERY challenging course. Krape Park's course in Freeport is always a good play and a close second to Sterling for difficulty. The rest are almost short practice courses, which is good for me, as I need lots of practice.

If anyone on here has played the QCA or Rockford courses, which ones would you recommend??
