    A very interesting course for disc golf. It can be a little difficult to find the entrance to this…read morepark as the lot is not very obvious when driving by it on the street. The course itself is fairly large but spread out quite widely in a circle. This means that you run across lots of difficult obstacles such as tall grasses, water, bridge, fence, etc. If you don't have good control over your aim, it's easy to get discs lost in the terrain and spend a good amount of time looking for them. With that said, it's quite an interesting course to play and a good challenge if you play at rolling knolls as well. Between these courses, you'll experience quite a bit of obstacles. I do like how this course is a bit flatter than some others if you do not enjoy spending lots of time climbing hills, but there is also a raised basket and a basket on a hill if you need the practice. Worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a challenge

    Been playing here for well over a dozen years. It's a long, rather flat and open 18 hole course…read more Baskets are the Chainstar type. Tees are mostly concrete, with a couple holes teeing off a path or dirt. There are alternate tees and holes on 12 and 14, off the top of my head, but it's easiest just to play off the standard tees. Alternate hole placements change up the course a bit during the year. Overall, a great course to let your arm rip, for those that love distance. Watch out for the swampy area, which affects about 4 holes, as you can easily lose discs in there. Got my first hole-in-one here, on the old hole 13 (the hole where you had to shoot blindly into the woods). It's a shame that the new 13 is the total opposite of the old one.

    I've never played disc golf before, nor have I ever had an interest. However, when my friend Kelly…read moreW. asked if I wanted to try this place in Roselle, I gave it a shot. Why not? So on one of the rare, hot days this summer, we found ourselves trying to navigate this course. The best way to get here is to park in or near the Waterbury Elementary School parking lot and walk on over. Originally, my directions led me to some residential parking lot on the other side of the park, but I wasn't able to park there or I'd be towed. Go to the school instead. You have been warned. Goose Lake Park has a nine-hole disc golf course that takes about two hours to complete. There's no maps, so you need to find them ahead of time or just wander around and figure it out yourselves. Boxes of sand mark the starting spots to throw from and the baskets are clearly marked with yellow paint. We managed to find eight of the nine holes and only completed six or seven of them. We were exhausted from the walking and tossing! The only annoying things about the course were the clusters of tall grass! My frisbee kept ending up in the grass and it took us time to find them if we weren't paying attention to where they landed. I was wearing shorts and flip flops; it's not fun walking through tall grass with those on. Once I got the hang of tossing the frisbees, they didn't go in the grass anymore. Whew. I enjoyed the game more than I thought I would, though! Since I haven't played disc golf before, I can't really compare this to other locations. Yet, the lack of maps, the slightly confusing course design, and the annoying tall grass puts this at a three-star rating for me. It's OK. I'd come back, but I'm not in love. In addition to the disc golf course and walking path, there's a baseball field and playground for the kiddies. It's a quiet spot -- we only came across a couple other people walking dogs while we were there.

    I found out about this course on disc golf website. It has nine holes and theyre easy to spot and…read morethrow from. They clearly marked where to throw from using boxes full of sand with signs telling you how far it is and what is par. The park is well maintained with tall grasses in clusters. It is hard to figure out where to park, but you park near the Waterbury Elementary School and the first hole is right by the parking lot. It also has a gorgeous baseball field and a biking track through the park. Furthers mere, you can have kids play on the playground there. It was a great course that was well maintained, easy to find the holes and where to throw from, and short for new beginningers.

    Is this a dog park, or a disc golf course? Some residents who were camped out on a front 9 today…read moreplaying with their dog on the fairway, blocked the hole and refused to move so we could play through. This is a taxpayer funded course right (??), so I'm not entirely sure how that grants the rights to adjacent neighbors to camp out and use it as a dog park and then report people who get angry about their game being blocked in return, because they can't finish their game. And I just want to clarify, that if we want to go throw on a course, and there are people blocking us from playing the course because it's a dog park at that particular time of day that they have deemed works best for them, then we need to just ignore their entitlement and go to the next hole?? Would you do that to someone on a regular golf course?? I think NOT. Guessing the police deal with this entitlement on the regular based on what they said after they were called. 3 stars are because the course is amazing, but the entitled neighbors and their stupid dog can get bent.

    This is one of the better overall courses in the area. A relatively challenging 18 hole course,…read morewhich offers players anything from a short straight sub-200ft hole, a few right drifting holes through the woods, three holes across water/swamp and everything in between. DISCatcher baskets. Many tees (ones not in the woods) are on the paved path. In the woods, they offer astro turf tees. Much of the back 9 is in the woods. There is a nice playground here if you have a significant other and kids that don't play. They also host tournaments here. Check the Hoffman Parks website, or course, for details.

    A kid's dream playground and totally worth the small entrance fee. This nature-themed play space…read moreis huge, creative, and packed with fun. Because it's so popular, they use timed entries to give more families a chance to enjoy it without crowding. It's located inside the Spring Valley Nature Center, so after playtime, you can wander the trails or explore more of the natural area. A great combo of fun + learning + nature. Perfect for an afternoon with littles

    I honestly did not know what to expect when we came here with my two young grandkids. Admission was…read more$3 per kid because we are not Schaumburg residents. My understanding was we were allowed to stay for one hour, and it was well worth the nominal admission fee! It had all the best components of a park, with lots of attention being focused on exploration and discovery. I did not see any swings, but there was plenty to climb on and signs posted everywhere encouraging the parents to not be helicopter parents... to let their child explore and try to problems solve on their own. There was a man-made creek running through one edge of the park and half the children were in bathing suits and had shovels and buckets with them. My grandkids declared it the best park they've ever visited! The playground is attached to a large piece of land that has tons of walking paths and picnic areas along with nice bathrooms and an educational nature center! It would be very easy to spend the better part of a day here!
