Madison Meadow Park

"Would be a five star but since I’ve last been here (maybe 5-10 years) they’ve gotten rid of a lot of trees. Still love this course and highly recommend. Can be busy at times "

"Big open flat field. A couple holes use the trees/pond effectively, but overall not a particularly interesting course."

"Flat course. Wide open."

"Nice, mostly open park course. Not too challenging but definitely some fun shots to play. It’s rare you lose a disc here, save for the bonus hole lol. Layout / flow and the condition of the tee pads and signage aren’t the greatest but nothing out of the ordinary."

"I’ve just moved to Chicago and only had a chance to play a handful of courses here, but this course is immediately my favorite. It’s not a technical woods course, but it just feels good to play it. Have fun!"

"Good course for beginners if you can stay out of the water on hole 3"

"Very open. Lots of bombs and free mid range shots. "

"Bad flooding spots in some open fields "

"We were a bit worried on how close we where to the paths with ppl walking their dogs but overall a nice open course that gets pretty wet "

"Still a little muddy 3/5/22"

"Baskets slightly tilted, tee signs outdated or nonexistent. Still easy to navigate with or without udisc. Park paths don't come into play too much luckily due to some foot traffic. Layout itself is fairly straightforward with some soft par 4s. Pretty much every hole is reachable for ma3 player or higher(exception being 17). Lots of parking even with other people in the park. Includes practice/training basket near parking lot."

"This course is rated way to high for what it is. "

"Thanks for turning out the lights on us shrug emoji "

"Great well kept course. Only downside is how much geese poop there was. "

"old baskets, good tee boxes, some longs some shorts nothing technical "

"Goose poop e’rwhere"

"similar terrain for almost all holes: flat grassland, some tree obstructions. Mix of short and long holes. Its a large open area so a windy day can have a huge effect. I dig hole 19, proceed with caution ;). "

"Good overall course and great for beginners! "

"Nice park course but nothing special"

"Tee boxes are a little confusing but awesome course overall"

"Huge open fairways for strong backhand throws, perfect for righty golfers. Don’t try playing it after it rains though, turns into a swamp."

"Basic and great for working some simple shot shaping. Overlaps with fields that were used by other sport clubs so some holes are crowded out."

"Nice open course. Couple old baskets but won’t hold it against them. "

"Lots of shots for both new and intermediate players. Some Tees could use some repairs on their signage and the baskets are a bit on the cheaper side but the course holds up regardless."

"Nice open course. Pars on app are way off, so adjust accordingly."

"Nice course but we had to skip do to other sports "

"Amazing and wide open course"

"Great course for beginners and those who just need a little confidence boost. Super easy with a few trees and no real hazards aside from hole 3, which has a pond to the right of the fairway. Water immediately drops off so if your disc goes in there then it’s gone. Overall I love this place!"

"Solid course little swampy clean "

"Not a challenge on the course other than the standing water. Park has potential though! But needs an over hall. "

"Open shots, far between holes"

"After rain or snow some Fairways get pretty soggy and so does a walking path. Watch out for the geese"

"Signage for both the Tees and Baskets were inconsistent and dated. Without UDisc I doubt I would have known where to go/throw next. Overall a very beginner friendly course in terms of layout. "

"For a course that's just in the middle of a random park, it's quite decent. (As long as the geese haven't taken over hole 3) The pars on a number of holes are far too generous my opinion, but it's a good confidence booster when you don't have that great of a day and still end up with a -3. Great beginner course!"

"Tee pads are too short, covered in goose poop, and half are covered in water. "

"The course was more catered toward beginner players I felt, but still had enough trees, natural OB, and some distance to make it a slight challenge. The signs were probably the worst part of it in my opinion. This was my first time playing and while I could find each pad, it took a little bit of looking around."

"Great for beginners. Pars are very forgiving. Good course for working on straight throws. "

"Wide open with couple holes where pond in play"

"Main problem for me is the skinny tee pads, and a lot of really open long holes. A few really fun holes though."

"The football field caused some conflict with the bystanders"

"Pretty basic, but a nice little course. Very cool 19th hole (signature)… over the water shot."

"All open field shots. Very few trees. Decent to practice straight shots. Plays around baseball fields. Basketball. Soccer fields. "

"Nice course, well maintained. Not a lot of variety though, mostly just open holes."

"Changed the course too drastically "

"Many tee signs missing; others in disrepair."

"Easy course with enough trees toake you pick a line. Had fun. Well manicured. "

"Very uninspiring course, quite boring, horribly marked pads/holes. Had time to kill after Katherine Legge in Hinsdale, unfortunately "

"I always make it out to this course early on in the season to warm up my longer drives and placement shots. Beautiful beginner course, but lots of trees have been lost over the years, making some holes extremely basic. Very wet conditions pretty often as well."

"Fun course to play for beginner and intermediate players. While it’s located on a fairly open park, the course is well-designed given the limitations. Baskets are in reasonable shape and most tee signs are available and useful. For the first time playing, where to go for the next hole can be a guess, but local disc golf players are helpful. The park itself can get busy with walkers. There are times of year when goose poop and wet ground make the course less fun. All-in-all, I enjoy playing it"

"Well maintained and great open drives. Just enough trees to make it interesting. Loved it as a beginner."

"Fair course! Use the app to get to the next tee!"

"Decent course on the easier side. Could use some updates. Hole 11 basket in a different location than tee sign. Hole 17 no tree sign. Baskets are a bit lacking. Overall still fun."

"Great course for beginners with mostly open fairways and some trees for interest. Long holes are tiring though. "

"Obviously just a use for poorly drained parts of the park, but other than that okay"

"Love the open Ness the scenery was beautiful we came from the city of Chicago to play and a lot of these 18-hole courses are at least an hour away and on a Sunday it only took us 45 minutes so super happy with it"

"Wide open. Great spot to test your drivers. Windy. Lots of broken signage makes tees hard to find."

"Course is a little over par, easy beginner close"

"Great course! Some long and short holes. Only water around hole 3. Markers on tee boxes are all out of date and have very generous pars on them. Use UDisc for more accurate pars"

"Hard to find tees. Some signs missing, basket placement not correct on map.is a very nice course"

"Some nice fairway layouts to present a bit of challenge, but way too much pedestrian traffic across fairways for me. "

"Well kept up. Sometimes hard to find the next hole. Lots of short throws. Hole 19 is over the lake."

"Really large course, with some open shots. Surrounded by a lot of other sports. "

"Jank cages and hole 19 is a bit scuffed but solid course"

"Nice open park. Lots of pedestrians to look out for on holes. "

"Solid 18 hole course. Not too challenging but not a cakewalk either. Fairly busy however"

"Missing map for multiple holes water comes into play on two holes "

"Easy. Never been close to par until yesterday. Short holes few trees"

"Mostly open as it goes around a rec complex. Windy as hell in a day in April that made up for the generous par 4s and 5s"

"Pretty good course to practice drives but it gets a little repetitive with very similar layouts between holes. "

"A little swampy after all the snow and rain"

"Soggy in a quite a few areas but very playable. Fun course!"

"Still covered in snow and fairly wet but still a great course"

"Mushy"

"Flat and open"

"Lots of goose poop"

"Great course layout, good variation in holes. Make sure to check your map between holes, easy to get lost. "

"Good course. 19 Holes. Had goose shit all over it last time i played (Oct 2020)"

"That dude in the hammock ruined everything"

"Use pars on Udisc, as the pars on the signs are waaay too generous. Solid course for being an open park course. Trees and a little bit of elevation help shape the course and create interesting shots, but many holes are open and long so great course for getting your long drives in. I'd say it's 4 stars on a good day. "

"There needs to be more direction from one hole to the next"

"Lord of people out and about meandering on the course "

"Confusing without the app. Some variety of shots. "

"Relatively well-maintained. Good course for beginners trying to become more accurate with longer drives. A few tough gaps to hit. "

"New paint on tee signs. Several trees removed, sadly nullifying any challenge to holes under 300’. Baskets continue to be neglected or sat on by fat kids at football practice. Cages warped, chains tied with hand knots, if the basket doesn’t lean 15 degrees one direction you’re probably at a better park…"

"Very open, very little chance to lose a disc with a handful of holes that force a line. For the area it’s nice to find a couple of 500ft+ holes even if they are completely open. Great course for a beginner looking to get better at staple shots and get some reps in."

"Somewhat long. Fairly open going through a populated park (baseball fields, tennis courts, etc)"

"Really like this course. Open, solid mix of distances, a really good walk. Not a lot to challenge an advanced player, but fun to just rip."

"Open course. Lot of sun of hot days. "

"very open, high pars"

"Fun distance course. "

"Terrible course"

"Course has no variety in holes very straight forward course"

"Tj u bdrb. Is ok’d I’ll kyy"

"Wide open, no real chance of losing a disc other than the water hole(19)."

"Good course with a lot of long shots. Signs on some tee pads are missing. "

"Nice course. Big park with lots of other things going on. Lots of walking"

"Very well kept except the baskets which are a little rickety and unlevel. Can be a bit of a hike between some of the holes, so good for getting your steps in. "

"Fun course with medium and long holes"

"weird ass baskets "

"Distance numbers are off, no map, confusing layout. Despite this, really fun and beautiful course."

"Not all holes have layout map or tee number. Confusing also since there's no map for this course on the app. Open spaces with lots of people everywhere, no risk of losing discs in foliage."

"Well-maintained, nice open course 😀 Also it appears that mandos and drop zones are being added."

"Nice park course when it's dry"

"Long, fairly open shots in a large multisport park. Great upkeep. Par should probably be a stroke less on almost all holes"

"Lots of garbage cans. Keep it clean"

"Generous pars, fun course. "

"Better than what I expected. It's an open course with trees just in the right spot. There's also some 400 foot holes that you still have to worry about the ceiling. If you have a big arm this is a great place for you just to bomb stuff. Will definitely play again."

"Confusing where the holes are, and in the summer, if you put a disc in the pond, its gone. Luckily, in the winter, the pond was completely frozen over, and all i did was walk over."

"Good neighborhood course, few obstacles, low risk shots. Baskets are a bit old and would benefit from an update"

"Wide open and fairly long. Well kept, looks like it’d be muddy in the spring. Lots of geese and the mess that comes with them. "

"awesome course !"

"Great long course. Tee pad maps and posts need Maintnence fun course. Some pars should be lowered 1 stroke"

"10 need to be remapped"

"Wide open course with some bomber holes. Park district should plant more trees to make the course have better shot shapes and make the park more beautiful in general (similar to holes 6 and 8)."

"Good condition, a bit damp on a few holes, not much variety after they cut down trees last year"

"Warning!! hole 16 skinny tree on left midway to the basket a has bee hive be careful was just attacked while trying to retrieve disc. "

"Wide open course. The pats are way to generous. I shot -7. All par 4 should be 3’s and all 5’s should be 4’s. Other than that, fantastic course "

"Pars are too generous "

"a little soggy "

"Very muddy"

"Soggy but really fun.. not hard but throw your lines.. holes 19 is the over the water shot"

"A little swampy."

"Half of the course is still very wet and muddy"

"The park needs bathrooms and a few signs are needed."

"Lots of mess left by tons of geese, and lots of standing water even well after a rain. Nice open course for practicing long drives though. "

"Lots of standing water, watch where you walk"

"Great course! A LOT of open shots so you can really RIP on your disc if you want to! Give it a play and see what I’m taking about! "

"Great!"

"Fun course! Nice and open. But..... Problem with up keep. Some tee posts dont have signs and info on holes. Other then that good to play on a dry day."

"Confusing or missing signs on a good number of tees. No course map. Besides that there are several challenging and technical holes, fun course"

"Slightly muddy but mostly dry, even in rain"

"Some slight flooding "
