I took out my last post, because apparently I was too blind to see all of the baskets that were in the park. We didn't drive down the right roads and we missed the large majority of the baskets. I'm very happy that I took my nephew to play the course today and that we found all of the other baskets.
They have a full 18 installed and though it is a fairly short course, it does have quite a few tricky shots. The quick elevation changes and fast putting greens make this course a whole lot of fun to play and I'm looking forward to hitting it again this week.
The only complaint that I have is the tee's are marked by a piece of wood set in the ground with the number and distance etched into it. It took us forever to find where we were supposed to tee off from and I'm sure that the course will play much faster on the 2nd try.
I especially liked #13, talk about a fast green.
Great job guys!

Hello all, I saw this thread and thought it looked like a great avenue to post updates on the Jackson Park courses. That's right...."courses". We now have a 9-hole in the back of the park. It starts by the shelter that looks like a mushroom. The holes are probably a little longer on average than the 18-hole, but most of them are pretty straight shots and each basket is visible from each tee. We tried to make it more beginner-friendly. Hopefully, we succeeded.
Yes, the tees are hard to find. I recently walked the course to make sketches for tee signs, and I had trouble finding a few of them...and I was there when it was laid out!
Once we get those tee signs made, I think it will be much easier to navigate. We have all the materials, we just need to find time to make 27 signs!
Tee pads are not on the menu quite yet, but we've discussed it.
Anyway, I look forward to posting updates from our end and reading any praise or criticism that anyone might have for the courses. I hope you all keep coming out. It's always great to see people having fun in the parks......good fun, that is.
Keep your ears open for a possible grand opening in the spring, put on by our park board. Take care.
