Disc Golf Course at Margreth Riemer Reservoir

Please Note for April 12, 2021: Our Parks Crew will be out working at Margreth Riemer Reservoir Park today along the Disc Golf Course. For those playing the course today, we ask that you play with caution and patience while crews are working.

The 5,667 ft., 18-hole, par 55 course includes Mach 3 baskets and 4’x10’ concrete tee pads. Newly updated tee signs indicating hole location, distance, and par were added in 2016. The course utilizes both sides of Margreth Riemer Reservoir including the highest elevation in Palatine, providing scenic, well-defined fairways through rolling open terrain, winding around two small ponds with a variety of elevation changes. Recent course changes include two alternate tee locations, and four alternate basket locations. The course is unsupervised and no reservations are needed. Bring your own discs.

Hours

  • Open dawn to dusk daily, mid-April through early November or first snow.

Course Features

  • 18 Hole Disc Golf Course
  • Concrete Tee pads with signs including hole location, distance and par
  • Unique elevations

How Do You Play Disc Golf

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc or frisbee. The disc/frisbee is thrown from a tee to a basket, which is the "hole". As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw landed. Finally, the "putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. The object is to throw the disc/frisbee from the tee area to the target "basket" in the fewest number of throws.

Rules of Play

  • Must start play on one hole.
  • Players must tee off from the designated tee area. Be sure the players in front of you, and other park users are out of range.
  • When playing a hole, the player farthest away from the basket throws first.
  • The hole is complete when a players disc lands in the basket or chains.
  • The player with the least number of throws on the last hole tees off first on the next hole.
  • The spot where your previous throw has landed is called the "lie". To begin your next throw, your lead foot must be on or within 11 inches directly behind the lie. The other foot may be no closer to the hole then the lie. A run-up and natural follow through after release is allowed.
  • Any disc that comes to rest above the ground (in a tree or bush) is considered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground directly beneath the unplayable lie (one stroke penalty).
