That is sad news. I started at Shorewood. Though it seems awfully short now, I remember being really puzzled the first time I heard someone say that the park was too easy. At that point, for me, Shorewood was still difficult enough. It is a great course for a quick round, too break in newbies at, or just to keep traffic down at the tougher courses in the area.

I've been walking a promising site in Mather Woods a lot lately. Mentioned it to Gary Lewis last year, but at the time, I had barely explored it. I believe after walking it that it would make a great spot for a new course. It won't rival Highland, but it has some nice features to create a course around. There is a couple creeks running thru it, and a few smaller (aka not as large as Highlands) ravines......one of which forms a cool fishbowl like area. There are walking paths thru it already, but I believe there is enough room to make a decent course there without creating a safety issue with the paths.

I'm no expert on this, that's for sure. But I would like to explore the idea further. If anyone else is interested in looking at it with me, or pointing me in the right direction on who to talk to in Plainfield, I'll be more than happy to put some time and effort into making it happen.

And who knows, maybe we could talk Shorewood into donating their baskets?

so i did some searching and contacted shorewood there are going to be changes but disc golf is staying the final plans for the park wont be ready till this winter so we have the rest of the summer to play

so don't be steeling baskets or they will probably change there mind on keeping it if they have to spend more money to to replace baskets

here is the reply i received and contact info

The disc golf course will be kept generally as it is, there may be the need to relocate some of the holes…

I was told a few weeks ago, by someone who would know (within the disc golf community), that shorewood isn't going anywhere and any reconfiguration of the park would simply mean reconfiguring of the course and that it would be staying...just confirming what the park district has said.
