Northside is the oldest standing disc golf course in the state of Florida. Recently, the course has been renovated to add brand new Innova Discatcher baskets, (3) par 4’s, and with 3 completely new holes; 16, 17, and 18. Concrete pads on every hole, both long pads and shorts. Benches and trash cans on every hole as well. Plenty of trees to provide shade during the summer months. The course is immaculately maintained by the local club; The Gainesville Chain Hawks. The design is very fair and player-friendly. Highly rated players have a birdy opportunity on every hole. Fun course. During the summer/wet months, there are a few low-lying areas that hold water so plan your footwear accordingly. The course is nicely set up with the halfway mark bringing you back to the parking lot and bathrooms. Walmart and ABC is directly across the street and plenty of places to eat within a 5 min drive. Highly recommend this course and the tournaments put on by the club.

Since the redesign, I changed my rating to A. This is a classic design with the course going through a mature treed parkland. Two sets of tees and two basket locations create a variety of layouts. Long to long is quite the challenge if you don't throw 500 ft. Overall, this is a beautiful course that challenges you in shaping your shots if you want to score well.

Folks, this is the oldest standing DGC in the state of Florida!! It also happens to be my home course. Par 3 course with 20 holes( Pro/AM pads A/B positions) The majority of Northside is tricky pine tree riddled fairways with technical greens. A few wide open fairways with 3 ponds to contend with. Maintained by the city of Gainesville and the local DG club Gainesville Chain Hawks, this course is well taken care of. Visit Gainesville Chain Haws Facebook page for events and club information.

Well prepped for the tourney. Creative 20 hole arrangement, did their best. Hard to really be dynamic without elevation. Water was not really a threat, woods were not very technical. I imagine the locals have pretty low scores... Great signs, benches, and easy to navigate. Variety of lines and shots makes this a great course to develop your game.
