What visitors are saying
“An adequate course, at the least. Our round finished an hour before sunset yet we didn't see another disc golfer on the course. A couple club golfers in carts. Surprising because the conditions are more than fair and the scenery beautiful. Took about 2 hours to play, but we took our time. Difficult par 3 course which feels nearly incomplete. It IS complete - use the UDisc app to find your way from basket to tee pad…”

“Easy 2’s if you hit your line or 4’s if you hit a tree. Takes about 90 minutes to play, 2 blocks from the 63rd Metra stop with CTA and Divvy stations close by. Layout is on Udisc, follow hyde park disc golf for info and events.”
