Any Northern IL/ Southern WI players here?

[Haymaker]

Hey guys, I have been lurking here for a while now, but finally decided to set up an account and start posting. I am from the Rockford, IL area. Theres a few courses in the area but I don't think I'd say DG is huge here. Just wondering if theres any other players from the area on the board? I play mostly at the woodlands in Rockton, and Thunder park in Roscoe. You can also find me at the Beloit, WI, Janesville WI, Anna Page park in Rockford, and my favorite course in the area (although farthest from me) Krape Park in Freeport, IL. Anybody from around here or played these parks before? If so post here and introduce yourself!

I live up in Janesville but haven't made it out much this winter. Anna Page is probably one of my favorite courses within reasonable driving distance. I've never been to thunder park, is that the nine hole I heard about? I play mostly at lustig, even though it isn't the best course around, but it's close. Too bad they take the pins out in the winter. Been thinking about hitting up beloit sometime soon, or anna page if I can get some people to go with. They leave the pins in year round at anna right?

I haven't ventured out to anna page in the winter so Im not sure if they leave the baskets in or not... I know the woodlands leaves them in though. Thunder park is not far from the beloit course and its a waaaaayy better 9 hole course. Thunder park is a really cool little park actually, nice mix of woods, open, and water there and they have some interesting shots you have to make. I definitely recommended checking it out and I'm pretty sure they probably leave the baskets in there too

Baskets are in at Anna Page and the tees are clear. You might want to hook up with the local group, GRABM. At the least they're out there every Sunday, skins at 8 AM followed by random draw dubs at 10 AM. They have their Arctic Blast doubles tournament coming up this Saturday. Good group of folks.

There are a coupla other folks from the area on here though I'm drawing a blank at the moment. I'm in DeKalb myself and the local group, DeKalb County Disc Golf does random draw dubs every Saturday at 1 PM. Been meaning to give the Roscoe and Rockton courses a whirl but I've not had a lot of free time recently.

If I didn't work every weekend I would definitely be down at Anna Page for doubles! Do they run leagues all year round?

The weather's supposed to be up in the 40's and 50's this week, I'm going to throw some plastic for sure, it's been way too long. I don't usually take the winters off, but I've been having car troubles, ugh.

I have played lustig a few times. I am a little bit more north than what you are looking for. I will play the janesville jammer every year I can so maybe I will see you there sometime.

I played in the Jammer this last summer, took 9th (last place to get funny money!)in intermediate, which I thought was decent for my first tourney. I expect to do a lot better this year, but I don't think I am ready for advanced yet.

I live in Marengo, I've only played in Crystal Lake, and Marengo though. Have not had a chance to make it out to Rockford yet.

If your ever looking for another person to play with pm me, I only play with one other buddy and he isn't available some days when I'm off.

I hail from Delavan, WI. Work at a school and night school at a college eat up the majority of my time during the school year.

I have managed to play all the courses within 60miles of my town in the last 3 years tho.

These are the ones I recommend getting out and playing.

Rockford - Anna page
Madison - hiestand, elver, token creek
Silver lake - gray fox
Marengo - indian oaks is solid especially in its infancy stage. Has quite possibly the only true Par 4's in the area w/ #5.
Kenosha - UW-Parkside
Milwaukee - Brown Deer + Dretzka

What ever happened to the Duck Pond rehab in Fontana?

For folks that play Indian Oaks, there's a Marengo Disc Golf Facebook page for current information. John's doing winter random dubs 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at noon.
