I recently attended a golf outing at this PGA adjacent golf course. The fairways were green and…read morethe greens were fair. They did an excellent job trimming the fescue. Interesting pin placement on 12! And watch out for that 47 degreed slope on the 8th green. And hole 7 you ask? They claim its 189 yards, but it plays like 191, trust me. Never broken under 100 here but that doesn't stop me from trying. And I'm a real golfer. Ya know the one that makes sure the logo on my ball is lined up perfectly for a putt and takes three trips back and forth from behind my ball to behind my pin. Can't wait to come back! 5 stars

For being so outdated and not wanting outside drinks brought in but not offering any beverages us single adults go for, the gorgeous sights our second half of nine spawned a completely different take on this course. I was unprepared for the rolling tree framed vista enough to make any Midwesterner boasting of their backyard blush. I am still new to this silly real estate discussion disguised as a sport however it began to grow on me being able to slow down and take in the scenes. We did time our outing perfectly, right off a week of excessive rain, everything was brilliantly green and putting through golden hour helped us ignore the amateur arrangement of this setup. I'm sure this is near the bottom of options for professionals and sorely needs to fix those eye sores along with enhancing their drink options to happily treat more appetites. But try Fairlakes with low expectations! The pleasant surprise will feel right, you'll find a simple and enticing course, an easy going and friendly staff that's clean of any smug golf attitude, and fair prices to give beginners like me a good chance.

I've come to appreciate the sport and courses I've played in. So, from my limited experience (only playing about 4 different courses in Illinois and Kansas), I would rank Northwood Park at the top. Top Three Reasons: 1) I think it's a well designed course. It has a lot different terrain; ranging from wooded to open flat to hilly areas. It's visually appealing and fun to walk around. 2) Even though there's a lot of different landscapes, it easy to find the next basket. And if you get turned around somehow, people that play there are nice and can probably tell you where to go! 3) It's a good course for all playing levels. There are few tricky/challenging holes but on the other hand, there are also some easier ones. The mix of difficulties makes it fun. Now, the only criticism I have for the park is you occasionally find trash around the tee off areas. It's sad because it's such a nice park! Anyway, trash receptacles throughout the course would definitely help!

Absolutely my favorite disc course anywhere. This is also the reason why PDGA uses this course for…read moretournament championships and the sort. Fantastic blend of wooded and open. Blind drives and straight shots abound as well. Hole 5 is a bastard 'cos of the tree line and traversing up a hill then down and crossing a small crick to land on the island pin. Delicious. 18 is the majestic capstone hole. Teeing off 100 feet above the fairway and walking across the crick leaves discers with a lasting impression. Well worth the drive on a nice day. Spend sun up to sun down here. The challenge is to get in the mid 50s. My personal best was 47. Replay: Very High if you are not tuckered out.

It's $34/hour for a lane and for three people, we were able to get two games in, so, about $5.67 per game. Not terrible! We went at 1pm on a Sunday and the place was so big that we had no problem getting a lane, which is nice when you don't have to wait. You can choose between glow or normal bowling, and the folks at the counter and bar were all very nice. I also saw someone cleaning the tables each time a party left, that's awesome! So clean!
