Courses We Frequent

Living around Argonne, we tend to head to courses in the western Chicago suburbs. Here are the ones we often play, with pointers to useful resources.

• West Park, in Joliet.; 18 holes, awesome course. A map.
• Madison Meadows, in Lombard.  18 holes, fairly long. Eric and Brian's page for it, with map.
• Lombard Commons Park, in Lombard. 9 holes, but still quite nice. Eric and Brian's page for it, with map.
• O'Brien Park, in Downers Grove. 9 holes, pretty simple -- but conveniently close to home.
• The O'Brien 18. During the winter, the park district takes down a buncha holes. Here's how we play 18 holes there anyway.
• Knoch Knoll's Park, in Naperville. Eric and Brian's page for it, with, of course, a map..

Courses We've Visited

Wisconsin

• The great Wisconsin Gazelle Adventures trip, when we played:
• Valley View Park, New Berlin. Pictures.
• Dretzka Park, Milwaukee. Pictures.
• Lime Kiln Park, Grafton. Pictures.

Illinois

• Channahon, near Joliet. Notes from when we played.
• New Lenox, near Joliet. Pictures.
• Urbana, Illini Meadows. 2 hours south of Chicago. 9 holes, which were in the process of getting removed for some new building when Brian, Stu, Joe and I played it during Allliance '98. Sniff.

California

• DeLaveaga, in Santa Cruz, California. I made it there alone after SC97. It was an amazing course. Almost worth a flight out. Pictures.
• Grass Valley. I visited in the fall of 1998. Didn't write up a course report, but it was a nice course, in a heavily wooded park. Definitely worth a trip if within an hour or so.

Washington

• Lakewood King. Near Seattle. Notes from playing it. Pictures.
• Fort Steilacoom. Near Seattle. Notes from playing it. Pictures.

Minnesota

• Acorn Park, Roseville. Notes from playing it.

New Mexico

• Roosevelt Park, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A really great little course. Notes from playing it.

Oklahoma

• Broadlawn Park, Ardmore. I happened to be in the area... this was a sadly run down park, obviously once loved. It was ok, but nothing really challenging. Pictures.
