A nice 9-hole course in Willoughby, Ohio. Newly updated on June 26, 2019, it has a couple of longer holes, including a tightly wooded "corridor" hole that is challenging for all players. Much better flow now! Will hopefully have concrete tee pads installed in the near future.

This is a nice course. Not too technical or difficult but it's in a nice park and has fun holes with beautiful Lake Erie for a backdrop.

Well maintained with a very nice view of Lake Erie! This course is mostly open and the lake is used as a hazard on a few holes.

other than the usual windy day you expect while playing Osborne, I love running an errand close to this park because you can speed play a quick 9 and be on your way!

Great course for how compact it is; a lot of variety - 4 open driving holes, 3 with the lake in play, and 2 wooded holes. Simple in it's presentation, but some holes can present quite a challenge (especially with how crazy the wind decides to be that day).

Played the 3.0 version of this course after two holes were moved because of some major erosion. Having played it fresh, it was the most enjoyable couple of rounds I have played at this park. The holes seem to get more challenging each version. I was happy to see the long par 3 (old hole nine) get changed to a respectable par 3 length. The other hole changes made sense and it now plays even better! Hope the city can get the erosion under control so we have this course for more generations to enjoy.

Osborne is where I learned how to play disc golf last year. I love hole 1 being a backhand thrower 75% of the game, allows me to do nice anhyzer shots! My best score so far is even par for 9 holes regular tees. Thanks to Ninja, aka Bill savage, he gave me my first putter and since this spring i bought a nice fade crunch box and a champion plastic groove 175gram. I love this game and the confidence it brings to me. Keep on Discing!

Great view on the lake! Everyone I encountered is pretty nice! Well groomed.

Good little course. Well maintained. Concrete tees would be a big improvement. Very open except for 8 and 9 were in the woods.

Not a bad place to squeeze in a quick round. I don't mind throwing so close to the lake because I'm a lefty, but could see this as a con for rhbh players. A sign to point you in direction of the first hole wouldn't hurt either.

Well groomed dart course; nothing over 400 ft. Plays quick. One huge x-factor; proximity to Lake Erie. Swirling pockets of wind and huge gusts at times.
There is an ace here in my future. Need alternate basket sleeves in reverse positioning!

A fun little course that takes you right by lake Erie. Mostly open with a few fairly wooded shots. The park facilities are nice. Go if close, but I wouldn't make a long trip unless hitting Sims Park as well.

I wish I lived closer to this park as I would be playing it ALL the time.
I love hole # 4, just wish the basket was positioned in a different position than it was when I played this course. I'd love to see the basket position near the point of on of the "Break WWWWWWWW" all pointed area where if you missed your shot would be down on the beach area. I wish I could explain this better. But I think this hole is one of the most challenging holes in Ohio. And I'm a LHBH player and I would throw my drive over the break WWWWall and have it dart back towards the basket.

I rate this course 2.5 out of 5 stars.
Pros
- Plenty of parking
- Very nice water park with slides, pavilions, playground, swings, basketball, soccer, tennis, baseball and football fields
- Entrance is marked by the park sign
- Natural Tees are in decent shape but Tee #2 can collect water when the waves breaking inland
- Very nice Tee Signs
- Baskets are in good condition and well labeled
- The upkeep seems decent. The grass was well cut and the weeds were cut in the wooded area.
- E ...

average course that might be better if they had other holes...it's hard to rate a 9 hole course higher than a C, but this is honestly one of the better ones i've played. on the first four holes you must contend with lake erie, and there is a good possiblity of losing a disc. hole # 2 is nice with the basket halfway up the hill that leads down to the lake. away from the lake on the next three, more distance is needed, but they are generally open. the last 2 are in the small wooded area of the ...

Good course just to get out and play, #1 basically a str shot with trees all around , but unless you throw a bad shot your fine. #2,3 and 4 you need to becareful you have lake erie on your left " very close " keep your disc to the right the wind off the lake will always change your disc ! #5 Your throwing right at a old historic tree thats about 260 , basket is on the otherside of the tree. #6 throwing past some trees with alittle dogleg left not much but it is actually a tricky hole. #7 Just r ...

9 holes on a beautiful Lake Erie setting! 2019 redesign is now done. Osborne Revision 3 June 2019
So hole 1 now starts at the back of the park! Entrance off Eaglewood. Hole 1 is a 168' dogleg right (on or over road OB, drop zone marked). After crossing the road Hole 2 throws strait with woods on the left 229'. Hole 3 is down the hill and along Lake Erie. throws right and up a hill 252'. Walk along lake to hole 4 which is up the hill now away from the lake. A tree on the right makes it a tough d ...

decent course. Biggest drawback is #2,3,&4, all of which have lake erie on the left, not worth losing discs.
