The Links at Wheeler Park

"They’ve cleaned up this course a lot since I was here 3-4 years ago and it’s even better now"

"Overall a disappointing experience. With the amount of money in this region, I’ve seen poorer communities with better layouts. Bring your compass & tent when looking for the next tee pad… if they’d fix it with markers to point out next hole and tee pad the course would be 4.5"

"Big mostly open course with some wooded shots. Nice signature hole 11 throwing down a long tunnel from the top of a hill. They could use better markers for holes they need to take a picture of the hole map in the beginning."

"Too much traffic but overall great round"

"These should be all Par 3s"

"Generous par. Fun course worth variety of holes"

"Pars are a bit high on most holes, layouts confusing but a nice course overall "

"Very easy course, although almost all the pars are listed wrong - should be one less almost every time. Otherwise we’ll upkept and some good holes in there."

"Well maintained, decent variety of shots. Heavy pedestrian traffic."

"Traditional park golf. Very beginner oriented. Well maintained. Heavy foot traffic of both disc golfers AND walkers. Lots of newer players who don’t pay attention. Impossible to navigate without Udisc gps"

"Really glad I brought my whole bag so I could throw just 3 discs. Still fun tho"

"Had a ton of fun here. Hole on the hill. Either 10 or 11 super cool. Great course. Only issue was really muddy soggy spots around baskets. Other wise pretty sweet. "

"Great tee pads. Fun layout for all levels. Can be very confusing even with udisc your first time or two out here. Expect it to be busy if it’s not raining/snowing. "

"It's clean. But basically just open air shots. Only 2 unique holes. "

"Very good layout for the space it’s in. Could have some better markers for next teepad. Beginner friendly too"

"Great upkeep. Just need arrows on baskets toward next basket. "

"Beautiful! Well maintained course. "

"Great course. Will play again. Wish all the tee pads were marked. "

"Great course. Play as all par 3s "

"Fun park course with a good mix of mid length and short par 3s. "

"Back 9 way better than the front "

"Great beginner course. Excellent use of the park and limited trees on the more open holes. Hole 11 is awesome and hole 18 is a great hole to close the round on. Some tee signs are missing, making it a little difficult to know where the hole plays. Some next hole signs would be great for new people coming to play the course as it is a little difficult to navigate. Some of the holes play a little too close to each other. Pars are extremely generous, even for beginners."

"Little muddy in some parts currently "

"Very nice open course in a well kept park. My favorite course in Illinois yet. New tee pads and landscape every year. Good mix of holes."

"Horrible signage. Good tee pads, nicely manicured park setting."

"Not a lot of diversity with shot making. Most tee shots are low ceiling side arms. Well maintained course."

"Great course. Just wish they had better tee markings. A lot of the par 4s are easily par 3s. Fun course!"

"Pars are way off but it’s an amazing and beautiful course!"

"Course looks amazing. Such a fun and relaxing course with a variety of shot shapes that will challenge beginner and give intermediate and advanced players a chance to practice shot shapes without losing discs. Absolutely fantastic tee pads, some of the best I’ve seen. "

"Confusing to navigate course without UDisc if you’re on for the first time. Other than that this is a simple course with a ton of fun practice lines. Nothing too serious or heavy here, just some moderately long/short holes with a clean park to surround it. Great for just yanking some discs. Only a few holes with tough lines. "

"Best course within a 20 mile radius, period. "

"Gorgeous park, well-maintained. Nothing terribly long and very few clear straight lines to the pins. Needs work in overall layout as it's easy to confuse which tee (made of bricks) is throwing to which pin. Updated signage would definitely improve my score."

"Par 4’s are pretty weak. Signage is brutal."

"Very enjoyable course with very nice tee pads and family-friendly posted pars. Signage could use some attention and layout on the back 9 isn't intuitive. Lots of fairways run very close to each other, and other park users are often a hazard"

"Fun course with a lot of challenging tee shots that bring the many trees in play. Mostly field & tree holes with a few wooded holes mixed in the middle section. Tee pads are brick pavers and in good shape. Layout can be confusing until you’ve played it a few times. Many missing tee signs. Plenty of parking. Small little vendor hut that will rent discs and have a small selection for sale. Recommend."

"Close baskets and warn down if not missing tee signs make the course a bit confusing but the park is gorgeous and definitely beginner friendly "

"It could be in better shape, and hard to know what hole you are throwing to. "

"Some of the bushes that made holes challenging are gone, but new trees are planted. Nice mix of different shots and distances. "

"Not super challenging but still very fun, especially as park courses go. Excellent use of the given area to make a course that is both beginner friendly but also far from boring for more advanced players."

"Top 5 courses I’ve played in the USA! Fun, forgiving, and beautiful park. Only criticism I have is better signs on baskets.(partial course played)"

"Well kept and fun to play"

"Well kept and popular course. Navigating the holes can be a bit rough. More open field stock shots than I had hoped for based on the ratings, but the more wooded holes offer a good challenge."

"Sad they don't have better signage, otherwise a beautiful course. "

"Get the proper signage and tee boxes in order and it’s a beautiful park style course."

"Coarse on the front nine was very confusing to navigate "

"First course I played on. Great course, perfect for any level."

"Needs hole directions "

"Nice open course with some fun shots"

"I felt lost for most of the course. I'm glad I played with someone familiar to the course. The course is well kept and the holes were fun and ranged in difficulty. Overall it's a good course. "

"Confusing layout, poor signage"

"So easy lol"

"Good upkeep, but very low ceilings. Fun to practice those shots but in the wind, can be a nightmare"

"Looks like they are adding several new tee pads. Fun course but got alittle confused with finding the next tee pad. "

"Great tee pads, well maintained "

"Very pretty course and the pads are fantastic. The biggest problem is it is hard to tell where to go for the next hole without the app. "

"Great intro / low level course. Trees to keep you honest but not oppressive. 2 or 3 holes above 300 most sub 250. Not well marked (distance and direction) use udisc or ask for directions. Easy to get lost on 1st play. A few trails winding throughout the course"

"A little confusing on the tee pad locations, but we'll get used to it. Nice course, challenging enough, and a pretty park around it."

"Great course. Easy scoring if your ego could use some affirmation. But bad signage as others have said. Still navigable."

"Tees poorly marked"

"Not a bomber course, but a very good course for technical shots and touches"

"Beautiful park with very well-maintained fairways. Many other friendly players on the course. Really fun to play. As others have said, the signage needs to be repaired and updated. "

"Open course. Tees can be tricky if you haven’t been here before. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 "

"Very Beginner course lots of Par 4 within 3, even two stroke range. Overall fun for everyone"

"Really great course. 1 gorgeous downhill shot, and some solid ace runs. Needs better signage, and it would be a 4.5."

"Great course but can be a little confusing for new players. Needs a few new signs but other than that excellent course. "

"Nice open course with some trees that happen to get in my way..."

"Very difficult signage to follow "

"Confusing layout for first visit, even with app… However, it’s a great course that is well maintained."

"Well kept, a few signs missing but easy enough to find next tee. Good mix of easy and tough shots. Good mix of back/forehand action. "

"Par is extremely generous. If you’re in need of an easy feel-good round play the course par. Otherwise everything here is really a par 3. Signage is limited and confusing. "

"Poor signage. They're either vandalized or missing. Also, Way too many short par 4s that should be 3s. Park grounds are well groomed though. Tough to lose a disc"

"Another park course with huge potential but in need of some TLC. Pros: Beautiful, well-kept park setting. Course design has a nice layout considering a popular park with non-golfers. Very good use of trees as guardians around baskets. Excellent large brick teepads with picnic tables or benches at teepads. Cons: Terrible/nonexistent signage. If you don’t know the course and don’t take a picture of the course map on hole #1, you’re screwed. Baskets are showing their age and could use an upgrade."

"hole 11 is challenging for beginners. Pars on the course should be 3 for a lot of the par 4 holes."

"Nice course and almost impossible to lose a disc. Some signage is missing, but other than that it was fun"

"Challenging trees but nowhere to lose discs!"

"Mostly for the average player like myself but super fun to play frequently"

"Very fun course. Got my first ace on hole 9"

"One of the best park courses I've been to. "

"Great conditions, but be sure to bring bug spray. Monsqutos are really bad 9-11 and still follow ya till the end of the course. "

"Very fun and open. Great course"

"Fun but challenging par 3 for experienced players but accessible to all skill levels (except 11). "

"Basically every hole should be played a par three, but overall good course"

"Even after all the rain, course was dry enough to play."

"Pretty nice course. The pars are way off IMO. But it feels good to get. -2 on a 285 footer. Well maintained but very crowded. "

"Nice course, could use better signage but not terribly confusing"

"Very well designed course with a little bit of everything. Really enjoyed the 3 more wooded holes (9-11). Hole 11 is the signature hole for sure. Generous PARs but awesome nonetheless. "

"Nice open course with a couple technical holes"

"Not worth the drive if you’re not a local. Speaking of locals, the golfers here just wander from hole to hole and don’t play in order. WTF?!? Playing courses like these always makes me thankful I live within 30 minutes of Dellwood and Highland Park."

"Great mix of distance and some shorts with trees to make things interesting. Some improvements in signage would make this a perfect course for new players"

"#11 is not worth loosing your disc other then that fantastic course"

"Wish they’d spend some money to fix the signage- they’re literally sharpie on a wood plank. The layout is pretty suboptimal and doesn’t flow well, either. Very beginner friendly with generous pars and a mixture of wooded/open shots, though. "

"It a mixed use park. But a good lay out. Nice use of trees and elevation changes. It look easy and open at first then the tunnel shots come it. Very well manicured only one hole where you might have trouble looking for a disc. "

"Fun course. Pars are a bit off and signs aren’t great if they’re even there"

"Nice variety in course. Short distances and general open but changes in elevation add challenge and keep things interesting."

"Great local course. Busy, but that’s good for the sport. Friendly players. Course need to direct to tee pads better but people helped out every time. "

"Needs markers to show next hole location "

"Best course around a 30 mile radius. It has a great variety of holes and different type of throws. Fun course to play. "

"Beautiful but crazy confusing. "

"No leaves, good scoring conditions"

"Really nice park. Cool variety of shots. The brick teepads are great."

"Fun course, good for all skill sets!"

"Needs more course signage. "

"Needs new signage on about half the holes as well as old signage where baskets have been moved... way too many par 4s under 300’ but overall a great course"

"Great course but awful signage and directions. "

"Great course overall, signage isn't great though."

"Would be closer to a 5 rating if it had all the signage in place, plus updated signs for some holes where the distance is wrong because the basket has been moved. A lot of par 4’s that should be 3’s, but can’t complain about that. Otherwise, beautiful course, and looking forward to playing again!"

"Fun course, lots of players here on a nice day!"

"Home course! Easy as shit. Play par 3 the whole way "

"Makes good space of the park. Could use better signage "

"Been coming here for years. Very wide open, well kept, fun, and good for beginners and skilled players. "

"Amazing"

"Like the big tee boxes. Hard to follow without the app. No signage except a few holes. "

"New tee signs are awesome!"

"Watch out for the runners and walkers on the path. Has good shot varieties and elevation changes. I like playing here but hard to follow without using the udisc map. "

"Several posts are missing with no maps, but the course is really clean. Bring your distance drivers"

"Cool open course nice holes. A little crowded at times. Some groups with no course Etiquette....."

"Course is a beginner to intermediate friendly course. Lately a bit of a zoo as everyone and there mother is going here. but nice and easy with higher pars and some nice scenery. some tees are trickier to find."

"Really well kept. Hole markings are really hard to follow without using the map on this app. Otherwise you’d get lost "

"Very well kept course that is perfect for beginners. "

"Nice fun wooded shots. Some trees in the wooded areas but losing your disc isnt a major conern"

"Pretty confusing to navigate. I just followed the people in front of me. Also a busy place with people walking around a lot. Course is fun and easy. Just needs some signs or something to help people get around."

"Fun course for beginners. The tees need some updating. Lots of tees with missing signs and just permanent marker used for labels. Also the course is very confusing if you don't use the app map. "

"Good course , long but HORRIBLE SIGNAGE"

"Tons of fun! Great first course to play! Friendly people! "

"Fun easy course. Nice park, not very challenging layout"

"Great beginners course! Mostly open, but some wooded holes."

"Fun course, mostly open. It's not a super difficult course but certainly enjoyable to play"

"Stagnant water blocks two holes and smells horrible and some hole information is missing but it’s a fun course nice baskets and t pads "

"Course is currently closed. You just signup online to play"

"Fun, easy open course. Great for beginners however it is very difficult to navigate from hole to hole. "

"Good variety of open fairways, woods, and landscapes."

"Intermediate course. Lots of missing tee signs but good course. Don’t play if it’s been wet lots of mud. "

"A quality beginners course. Very good for practicing straight drives. "

"Fun and well kept"

"The course par is comedically inflated (multiple straight 280 ft par 4s). Many tee signs are missing. Very beginner friendly!"

"More mapping but what a great course"

"Fun course! However... It is difficult to follow the course the first time playing through as there are imprecise markers at the tee boxes or sometimes none at all which let you know what hole you are at/ where you are going. On the actual baskets themselves there are no flags telling you which basket is for which hole, only a small sticker not visible from the tee box. So sometimes we ended up throwing at the incorrect basket. However after playing through it once you should know the course."

"Course design can be a bit tricky to find the next hole but overall it's a very fun course."

"Challenging course with a variety of shot types. Some elevation and tight holes. Mostly open with mature trees. "

"Really good park course, well maintained, one of the best in the area"

"Fun great time well keep grass nice"

"Nice open course, relatively short. Mostly dry. Some holes are missing signs, could use better signs. "

"Mudd and windy today 2/19/23"

"Needs signage for next tee. "

"Always love coming out to this course! Threw my banshee into the woods to the right of hole 14 if anyone finds it! "

"Very easy as majority of holes are very short par 4’s"

"Fantastic course, needs to mark holes a little more clearly. Otherwise a gorgeous park. "

"Course map is needed, but nice maintenance. Hard to lose a disc here. "

"Course looks great right now. Maybe trim up the low hanging branch on 17 a bit, but everything looks pretty good."

"Dry! Fun course, it was my first time here and had a blast. Beginner friendly."

"Favorite course"

"Great coarse! "

"The design is good but needs better signage for holes. Clean and well kept. "

"great technical course, well maintained and huge tpads"

"Beautiful course, well kept and in great condition, but very muddy. "

"Very pretty course. First time playing here. Recent work upgrading tee boxes and around baskets is nice. would have appreciated a few arrows between holes for easier wayfinding. Look forward to playing it again!"

"I dont know why they are all almost listed as par4 holes but I changed everything g to par3 as I felt none of those holes could be a par4 by any means. Fun course fun shot options. Catchy baskets"

"Great course with awesome variety."

"Mosquitos are horrible, but course is in great shape!"

"Just shy of perfect conditions - little bit of wind"

"Good course for intermediate players. Layout is fun and challenging but not daunting. "

"First time playing here, great course. Directions to next tee would be nice"

"Better signage"

"Well maintained, fairly easy course. Some holes aren’t marked with tee signs. Not many “next hole” directions."

"A little hard to understand. Definitely need map on your phone to keep up."

"Some pads not marked"

"A ton of people there and extremely confusing. I found my way through 15 of the holes and had to stop."

"Amazing "

"Very open, well kept up with. Layout can be a little confusing, be sure to take a picture of the map."

"Great course, wide open. No permanent water hazards!!!"

"Balanced but challenging"

"Fantastic except for missing signs and flooding occasionally "
