Review from Adrian W.

First off, Kirkland population 100 is pretty sweet. 'Downtown' Kirkland is a single street with two diners, a bank, barber shop and two bars. Not much to do. But they decided to tear up the mobile home park and toss a disc course in it's place. Not bad, not bad. Oh and don't worry about finding this place, it's on North Street (the street by the yellow wood supply building) and just north of the railroad tracks, right next to the skate park.
As I said, mobile home park prior to the park being made. You set foot here and you catch whiffs of the sewage and the 'great' Kishwaukee River.
Again, not too hard for a beginner to sink their teeth here. The first four holes are my favorite- not too short and not too easy. Over all, if you can tee nicely you won't have a difficult time. When it rains, the river rises and floods out hole 8 and will leave your shoes muddy. Heads up on the geese over here, they tend to be combative.
13 is unlucky for this guy. I've teed off nicely only to find my disc hit the only hard patch and skip into the river.
There is a pond here so be careful of arrant throws since you will be testicle high in water that may or may not have been used as a giant urinal. That doesn't stop the locals from making a day of it and fishing it though. Please them with a couple of Bud Lights and they'll show you them whites.
Replay: High.
