One of the best courses in Illinois. Challenges for all skill levels with the use of two tee pads and multiple pin locations. Alot of work has been done on this course and it has paid off! This course is worth a destination to plan around and you will not be disappointed. The only disappointment could be from losing a disc in the meandering creek that flows throughout the course. This is a must play course!

Was in Chicago for the 2016 Riot Fest so we played a few local courses. I believe this course (Canyons at Dellwood Park in Lockport) was about an hours drive out of the city and WELL worth it. My favorite course of the four we played ... absolutely loved the elevation shot (downward) to the basket by the cliff and the couple near or under the picturesque bridges. Very cool Mach X baskets with the spider changes, first time I ever played those. Nice practice basket, immaculate course with p ...

Elevation, multiple concrete tees per hole, alternate pin locations, water hazards, shot variety, and a disc shop right on the property. 23 holes with 24-27 being reinstalled whenever they can build a safe passage across the creek. There are so many ways to change it up that you can play over and over without the course getting stale.
When the biggest complaint about a course is that it’s too popular, you know you’ve found something special.

This course is great, they take that creek and bring it into play on multiple holes. Good amount of technicality and elevation change. A lot of fun, demanding shots for all the throws in the bag. After a slow start and a bogey followed by throwing into the river and taking and OB stoke and another bogey I pulled it together and had some good holes. It can get windy in the fields but did not come into play that much. Also was told the river was low so if you thrown in you can see it. Fun ending hole throwing right over the river.

This course has a little bit of everything (distance, trees, water, elevation, open shots).. Also has a nice pro shop!

What a sweet course! It's got every shot you could ask for. Wide open holes in fields, real technical woods shots. Plenty of elevation and great views. For a course that's only 1 year old this place is perfect. Brand new X chain baskets were awesome and caught the disc really well. I would recommend this course to anyone if they're in the area

This is a must play if you are in the area. Coarse is marked well. No problem navigating through the coarse first time through. Great variety of hole designs. Long and short tee pads. Awesome backdrop of natural landscape. Several nice elevation change shots. Several signature holes throwing under overpass on 18, great touch. Throwing off the side of cliff on 16, fun hole. Great elevation change on 4, throwing through hole in trees to a wide open fairway below with creek in the right.

First time playing this course. Absolutely amazing use of the landscape provided (mixture of wooded and open holes, elevation changes, and water hazards). The constant threat of water makes one consider and execute their throws carefully. One of my favorite courses in IL.

Fantastic new course. Has a great variety of shots. Would highly recommend.

The best course in Illinois. A must play.Signature hole would be throwing off a cliff down into a ravine, basket is tucked away behind trees.

Love Love Love this park/course. I used to live 30 mins from Lockport and played here every weekend possible. Sean and his crew are the best of the best and their on-site Pro Shop has all your needs covered. Longs here are one of my all time fav layouts. Top Notch is every way.

One of the best courses I've ever played. The course layout was planned and well thought out. Very well manicured with great signage.

We discovered The Canyons last year. Even since then it's undergone some great changes. Everything is exceptionally well kept, they are continually making improvements and adding holes and they now have a very handy pro-shop and snack bar. It's not as convenient as The Oaks (also a great spot) for me, but it's superior in most ways and worth the extra drive. Don't know the guy's name - but the fellow that is usually running the pro-shop also designs the course, and has given some good pointers and can make disc recommendations.

Hands down my favorite course in IL, and rightfully so since it is the top rated course in the state. Always in immaculate shape, challenging mix of open and forest holes. Lots of shot shaping and elevation changes as well. I just wish I lived closer so I could play it more often!

Hands down the best course in Illinois. The course has a different blend of challenging holes, different pins, long and short tees. The park itself is always in great condition. And the best part is a pro shop on the course fully stocked with latest gear and discs! This is a must play!

The Canyons is great! Expect it to be very busy on the weekends. The pro shop is the best I've seen. Navigation can be a little tricky and crossing the creek isn't easy. I wouldn't recommend a cart on this course. 96 out of 100.

Dellwood is a must play! The course plays through a well maintained canyon that requires a variety of skilled shots. Each hole has concrete tee pads and most have options for A and B pins. This is also a hot spot for tournaments and leagues so high level of competition if you’re a serious player. The pro shop is also top notch!

I could play this course every other day and still love it .

Number 1 course in Illinois! Great design, plenty of fun layouts to play. Leagues and tournaments going on constantly make this a must play. Come stop by let me sell you some plastic at the beautiful and soon to be expanded pro shop!

Nice course well maintained and very challenging. Park is in a canyon with small bluffs on the last 4 holes. And you play along a creek bed most of the holes giving you an OB area to work around as you play. Nice thing about this course is even though it’s in a canyon and wooded the brush is well maintained and easy to find the discs that go off line. I agree that this should be one of the top rated in Illinois and the pro shop with refreshments and discs for sale in the middle of the course i ...
