Fairfield Park

"Best course I’ve played to date. Very challenging. Demands placement shots and execution to position yourself, but most holes, there’s a birdie to be had. Wind can be an added challenge on the prairie holes, but it’s the long ones through the woods that will push even veteran players. "

"Super wet but still playable"

"muddy areas super bad"

"Love this courese"

"Looks great. Lots of work has gone into this course. "

"Incredible course!"

"They’re doin good work try’n to keep the tees clean after all the rain. Thanks my dudes. "

"Huge course with lots of variation. Some of the rough can get really wild in the summer, and you’ll need bug spray. "

"Such a good and challenging course. Well maintained for this time of year."

"Good overall course "

"Snow "

"Water logged as all heck, downed tree on hole 12Gold"

"Muddy and wet. Still a beautiful and challenging course with tight wooded shots and big open rips."

"Great signage. Super fun. Finished playing as the blizzard rolled in. "

"Beautiful disk eater"

"Beautiful course, great mix of open and wooded holes."

"Not Great"

"My favorite course to play in Illinois "

"Challenging course with some great mix of distance, tree and combo shots. Definitely keep the app open because without the map it’s really hard to figure out the layout. Otherwise, one of the best courses I’ve played in Illinois. "

"Wonderful mix of holes. Thank you to all those who maintain it so well. Just watch yourself off the edges of the pads, some potential ankle breakers."

"Best course in the Area"

"Great course, only complaint is the tee pads have a lot of dangerous drop offs, beware "

"Hole one and two are mehhh Everything beyond is very well designed! Lots of fun"

"Gold is a great championship level course"

"amazing "

"Skip to hole 4 (first interesting hole) to save time so u can get to the woods. Make sure u play the golds in the woods. One part is completely separate from the whites and super sick. Almost missed them my first time here! "

"One of the best! Variety of tees and pins makes for a lot of options. Well rounded design of holes. Yes, the mosquitoes are insane, but you can’t do anything about that except prepare for them. Only real complaint is some blind shots without a sign showing where the pin is. Other than that it doesn’t get any better "

"Bugs"

"Hard and buggy "

"Really nice course. Can be a bit sloppy even after a light rain. The mosquitoes are BRUTAL."

"Great course but Mosquitos are beyond annoying. "

"Beautiful course! Very challenging, but not impossible or unforgiving. If you’re off the fairway, you’re scrambling, but you’re not wasting your day hunting for your disc. Opportunities to mash, but also requirements for carving very particular Shot shapes. This course is worth a planned trip. "

"Not easy but a great course. Bring bug spray and a couple water discs. "

"Fun course, cool trees, not too challenging."

"Very fun course, signage is excellent, some very challenging holes, and some very easy holes. Beautiful property"

"Better signage and this is a 5. As is I can’t give it the full 5 but this is an amazing course. Right to left shots, left to right, elevation changes, wooded holes with fair fairways, open bomber holes. It’s truly a great course. Why are they sporting signs without a map? "

"The golds are the real deal. Extremely technical and challenging. Highly suggest having spotters as you throw down the fairway to minimize the potential for losing discs. Also the sineage on this course is amazing. Super easy to know where the next hole is. Everything is marked well. First time playing and knew where to go the whole time"

"One of the best courses I’ve ever played, very similar to brazos east in Waco."

"All it needs is signs so you now where baskets and or water is . "

"One of the best kept course. Had fun playing here!!!"

"Super beautiful long course. Some long technical wooded holes and some open bombs. Two baskets and tee locations for most. Awesome. "

"Love this course! first time playing the new layout since moving away almost 15 years ago. So much better now!"

"Beautiful challenging course! "

"A little muddy but overall a great course "

"Solid course. Golds play true to par and the woods is nice and challenging. Fairways are fair and signage is good enough. Pretty good spot!"

"Amazing course with the option of a long or short layout. Very fun with some challenges thrown in. The only thing to watch out for is the bugs can be bad on the holes in the woods, bring bug spray."

"The Gold layout is a championship level course. There's a reason this course is consistently rated in the top 3 in Illinois. We will be back next week!"

"Very wet everywhere"

"Mix of woods and open with lots of elevation changes and disc golf everywhere. This is a park for a disc golf course, not a disc golf course crammed in between playgrounds and baseball diamonds at a community park. Finishes with a ridiculously long hole. Tough for beginners."

"A delight of a course. Fantastic signage. The whites are beginner friendly and the golds are great for more advanced players. Well kept."

"Fun time"

"Well maintained fun course with lots of cool holes "

"Enjoyed playing on a tournament ready course but played White baskets. One day I’ll build the guts to play Gold buckets. "

"Wonderful layout for this course. Visited from out of state and highly consider it. "

"The best course in the Chicagoland area. "

"Good signage regarding where next tee is at. No maps of holes on signs, so take a pic of the course map by the parking lot. "

"Beautiful course, Could use new baskets. Discs shoot through "

"Great group of people that play here. Multiple leagues play here so it's a great way to dive in "

"Awesome park !!!! Definitely my favorite course that I’ve been to. I’ve been to Lockport … yes it’s a nice course but I really like this better ! Wide ope drives and takes skill not just a big arm to play here … "

"Deep prairie grass. Challenging wooded areas."

"Gold holes are long and tough. Great course. "

"A lot of fun open shots and some challenging tight holes. Course is well-kept: tee pads are clean and the rough isn’t too bad. Best course I’ve played in Lake County. "

"Nice, open course with many different shot shapes! "

"All the bogs are dry right now. So it makes searching for discs very easy"

"Smart course. Old people should play the whites."

"Beautiful course. Open easy start. Some tricky shots in the woods. Clear and far final holes. "

"Had a lot of fun on the white tees"

"Very fun and challenging course! My buddy and I ran through white and by no means was easy. Now we can’t wait to come back and try gold."

"A great selection and diverse layout between the two set-ups. The White course is the easier of the two, but is by no means a sleeper. The Gold course plays much harder. Stay on the fairway or pay the price. The only bad thing I can say is that the baskets are absolutely atrocious. Would recommend. "

"Good, well maintained course with various challenges and character. "

"This place is beautiful. We played the white, as we are new to this golfing, and the difficulty same spot on. It is a great mix of open Prairie, along with beautiful scenic woods halls. There are even some rivers that add beauty to the course. Best course around these parts!"

"Awesome course, kept well, with technical par 3's"

"Always the best, worth over an hour drive!"

"Back 9 is daunting and more foresty. Front nine is very casual."

"Played the white pads. Very easy layout with some nice shots. OB is pretty clear. Fairways and upkeep is really clean. Really enjoyed myself. UDisc isn’t matched up with some of the tee pads and info on the tee pads. which isn’t a downside just a matter in difference of 50+ feet or so. I have family that lives locally so it’s going to be a pleasure to come out and play when I’m in town."

"best course"

"Fantastic course. Challenging and fun. "

"Very well kept. Fun and challenging. Varied shots. "

"Fantastic course. Lots of woods, elevation, and challenging lines."

"Layout can be a little tricky to follow since the two courses intertwine, but the holes are alot of fun. Very creative course "

"Golds are long!- A couple of the long holes are in the woods. Great course and we’ll maintained!"

"Great challenging course. First few and last holes are wide open. Long wooded holes are manageable and fair. Great grippy concrete teepads, benches and trash cans. Signage is good, could use hole maps though. Some baskets are in rough shape/rusty."

"Cool course. 17 white tees is pretty tough. Lots of really tall rough to carry, but general upkeep is good. Mix of open and wooded holes is nice "

"Good course. "

"My new favorite course. Mix of open prairie holes and long wooded tunnels. "

"“A less busy Dellwood,” to quote my daughter 😁"

"Best course I’ve played. Just an all-around beautiful course that provides a challenge to beginners and veterans alike. "

"Couple wet spots"

"Just about as good as you can get with varying hole lengths, shot types, baskets and water features. This course has it all. "

"Very fun course."

"This is my home course and I love it. Definitely swampy after rain though. The white course is straightforward but forces you to be technical on the wooded holes. Has a stockade hole and two practice baskets near the parking lot. It’s a great course to grow your game, learn what you’re good at, at shoot a low score. Tons of fun."

"A little squishy in the usual spots and water has filled in the OB staked areas, but overall it’s as good as you could hope for at this time of year. Tall grass is much lower, so errant shots are located without too much time spent searching."

"Slushy"

"Fantastic course!"

"Such a great place to play. Great views and a great walk with good white and gold baskets."

"Two great layouts. Definitely a fun play with lots of natural OB. A must play course in Illinois."

"Awesome course, well maintained tees and holes, clear directions, super fun!"

"I like this more than Dellwood "

"Grew up playing this course is so well maintained and beautiful be ready for a challenge if you play gold. But the white is a lot of fun"

"Fairfield is by far the most challenging and interesting course in the area."

"The course is great and it’s a good mix of woods & open holes. Probably more so than any course I’ve played in the area. The biggest downside to it is the way it’s laid out with the gold/whites diverging and then coming together ends up being a bit awkward. Especially when it’s something like white 12 sharing a hole with gold 16. Just leads to backups and having to figure out order of play. Also wish there were maps at the tees. Overall tho, it’s small things and this is a really good course."

"Very fun course but I wish the mowed "

"Great hole design and layout. Two courses are a little confusing because there are on two different baskets on the same hole. Sometimes both courses shoot at the same basket. Only reason it’s not a 5 star. "

"Amazing!"

"Great course with white and gold layout, the gold being the harder of the two. It requires all sorts of shots. My only complaint is there are no hole maps that show the map of the hole. Recommend walking fairway if playing the first time, bring someone who knows the course to help guide you, or use the map on here. "

"This one is a lot of fun and good for all skill levels. I could see conditions on the back half getting unplayable after rainfall as you’re in a wooded area with a lot of elevation changes, creeks, and ponds. Definitely some holes that you want to play it really safe on otherwise you’ll have to go swimming. But this one has a lot of opportunities for placement practice, uncomfortable putts, drives, and sidearms. Will travel again to play another round. "

"Excellent course!"

"Branches are in the middle of some fairways on the back 9"

"White course is a nice warm up course for those who want to challenge the gold. Holes are long and require extreme precision. Be ready to use every shot you can think of. Just make sure to bring bug spray."

"Excellent course, not the most scenic but a fun play"

"Lots of variety in shots, open and wooded. Down side is crossing over paths and bugs"

"Bring bug spray for the wooded holes. Bring lots and lots of bug spray."

"Bring bug spray. Military strength bug spray."

"Bugs. Lots of bugs. The bitey kind "

"Course should have a bit of a Weather recovery team sweep through, a lot of broken branches, trees and stuff congested in the areas in the woods "

"Great course. Well maintained. Good variety in woods and out. Some water holes. First couple holes will be heavy sun in y’all grass. Wall maintained fairway though. Then woods you face mutant mosquitos. But alittle harder to loose a disc"

"Very well maintained and some fun water features. Especially appreciated the frog filled ponds lining a few holes. Downside is the excessive amount of mosquitoes in the shaded portions. "

"Amazing Course!!!👍👍👍 A little muddy though."

"Excellent course. A bit buggy but the wooded area is phenomenal "

"Played for the first time today. Cool course with challenging baskets and lots of options for play throughs. Well maintained, can be a little wet a day or two after it rains. "

"No mosquitoes! "

"Very fun. Elevation changes. Open then wooded And technical . Very fun. I played whites "

"One of the better courses in the whole region/state!"

"Great variety, several holes where you can just let it rip, several holes that require precision, and several water hazards that keep you focused!"

"Baskets in. Swampy and a ton of mosquitoes!! Got bit over 100 times. "

"Very muddy!"

"Muddy"

"Great design and use of land! A challenging White level course and an outstanding championship level Gold course with long wooded and open par 5s. This place will test every shot you have and make you learn some more. Love this place!!!"

"Very muddy for most of it. The middle nine holes felt very swampy for the white baskets. Good overall. Signage was clean and layout of holes made sense"

"A little bit of mud ad wet but not bad"

"Awesome course, elevation changes, mix of open and wooded holes. Only muddiness/wetness problems."

"Insanely buggy, but otherwise great course with a lot of long holes!"

"Great course, definitely visit if you can. "

"Ground is muddy and soaked. Could badly use some raised foot paths in low lying areas. Great course otherwise. "

"Best course in the area."

"Nice challenging course!!! "

"One of the best courses I've played at, right up there with Dellwood. Worth the trip, championship level course with multiple tees and big variety of shots"

"Very fun course. Open and wooded. Great variety of throws. Concrete pads. Flow is okay. Baskets are good. Would recommend and come back"

"Fun course great mix of shots. "

"Needs a good bug killing"

"m o s q u i t o e s"

"Definitely want to bring boots or water-resistant shoes. Muddy and some standing water on fairways"

"Great course! Lots of long weeds and trees but well worth the long walk!!! Very scenic! Some water hazards!!!"

"Best course in Lake County. "
