Wingfoot Lake State Park

decent course that uses the terrain and landscape well. water comes in to play on two holes, and can easily snag a disc on an errant throw. there are also a few really nice holes with elevation changes and tight fairways that are very challenging and fun to play. the flow was very easy to follow, and the baskets all had arrows indicating the direction to the next tee, which is always a plus. but honestly, nothing jumps out at me to say this is a great course. a good course yes, but not grea ...

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars. Pros - New park. Plenty of parking and grade A facilities. The winter event there was housed in a closed pavilion that had two large fireplaces! - Amenities! Playground, putt-putt, basketball, volleyball, picnic tables! - Billboard at hole #1 has a map posted along with course information - The map is accurate and very helpful your first trip! - Practice basket - Wood chip tees with wooden kickboards are in good condition - Next tee signs are h ...

I rate this course 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Pros
- New park. Plenty of parking and grade A facilities. The winter event there was housed in a closed pavilion that had two large fireplaces!
- Amenities! Playground, putt-putt, basketball, volleyball, picnic tables!
- Billboard at hole #1 has a map posted along with course information
- The map is accurate and very helpful your first trip!
- Practice basket
- Wood chip tees with wooden kickboards are in good condition
- Next tee signs are helpful
- Baskets are in excellent condition and well marked with bright orange stickers
- There are poles clearly marking each tee
- This course requires a variety of shots but does favor the right turning thrower. After a few trips here I have had to use every throw in my arsenal.
- The scenery and landscape are beautiful with rolling hills
- There are only a few walking paths on a few holes so the traffic is mainly just other disc golfers
- Bathrooms are located at the pavilion
- There are trashcans and the course is very clean
- There is no vandalism
- Excellent upkeep and maintenance
- The water hazard on #6 & #7 really adds to the courses difficulty. For #6 all you do is throw (RHBH) out just over the edge of the water and then fade back toward the basket. The shot seems simple enough but I’ve seen A LOT of discs in the water!

Cons
- Most of the poles by the tees are in Horrible placement. You could easily slam your hand into them (RHBH).
- Could use a few more benches

Other Thoughts
- Fun family park
- The distance is a little short overall but the elevation changes and wooded holes are wonderful. No holes reach 400’ but there are 4 holes over 350’.
- The overall flow is a little awkward and it can be a little difficult your first time out. The land available really was used to it’s potential though. Kudos to the developers!
- Watch out for kids sledding on hole #11 in the winter. Get’s very busy there. And just walking up this hill is difficult in the ice. I had a miss put slide 80’ down the hill!
- Semi challenging course overall
- The most challenging hole is #10. Downhill on a small path with trees on either side make this a very technical hole.
- My favorite hole is #5. It’s simple, but the tee is elevated higher which makes this 366’ hole a possible ace if you can do a slight anhyzer shot.
- This course is worth planning a trip here but I would not label this a destination course. I would consider this course beginner friend even with the dangerous hole #6.

Course is maintained well and getting lots of play. The wingfoot zeppelins-disc golf society have finally gotten with the ohio park department and the tee pads will go in this year. We are installing hole ones tee pad on mothers day may 13 th, 2012, weather permitting. Come join in on a fun filled day if you can. Club tag round after. The park had stated the course is to remain recreational so as a club that's our goal. Sleeves will be going in to move done baskets around lots of future plans. holes 5-8 will be turned backwards in the future to allow two none water rec holes and to allow tees for an intermediate to advanced setup. Please join the zeppelins to help get these projects rolling.
