Course Description:
Beautiful course in the valley on the campus of Western Illinois University with enough trees and changes in elevation to make it interesting.

Directions:
From the intersection of U.S. 136 and 67 in downtown Macomb go one block north to a left on Adams St. Go 5 blocks to the course on the right (SE corner of the campus). 1st tee is just east of the two tall residence halls.
Not the hardest course around, but it is on campus and is a good place to learn the basics of disc golf. Good mix of elevation changes and distance, ranging from 124-438, with a nice variety of shots and lines to take.
A nice 9 hole course in the SE corner of Western Illinois University.
The course is fairly open with no forest shots, water or tall grass so there is very little chance of losing a disk. The only place that I thought I might lose a disk (with a really bad throw) was the 9th hole, if managed to throw it into the cooling tower unit for one of the dorms.
A good course to take a new player, yet some challenging shots for players with more experience. The concrete tees and signs help make this course one that I will play again when I am in the area.
Next time I will park in the lot south of Murray St west of the tennis courts. I think the sign said you only needed a permit from 8am-6pm Monday-Friday and then I would start on the 8th hole.
