Chester Pinnacle Recreation Area

Fun, technical, mostly wooded course but with a mix; some very tight lines on 3, 8 , 9 and 11, more open lanes on 4 and 5, throwing from open into woods on 2, 7 and 10, a low tunnel shot into the open on 6, and a couple open shots to let her rip on 1 and 10. . May not test the biggest arms but you'll need most of your bag and a variety of shots to score well. This course was newly established in 2016 and has already worn in nicely with plenty of "course maintenance". Free. Open year ro ...

Fun, technical, mostly wooded course but with a mix; some very tight lines on 3, 8 , 9 and 11, more open lanes on 4 and 5, throwing from open into woods on 2, 7 and 10, a low tunnel shot into the open on 6, and a couple open shots to let her rip on 1 and 10. .

This course was newly established in 2016 and has already worn in nicely with plenty of "course maintenance". Free. Open year round.

Nice gravel/surpak tee pads (2 on almost all holes), good signage, nice baskets and good course flow. Mostly ok for carts, but with a couple of tricky spots. Well maintained with ongoing improvements. Sweet chainsaw carved benches throughout! Carry in/carry out, very clean course, please help keep it that way, thanks! Nearby toilets/porta potties at pool and ball field (in season).

The Chester course is a classic, well maintained and well-laid out New England-style course. The challenging, mostly wooded holes are not super-long, but they do require a balanced combination of both finesse and power. Some fairway lines are pretty tight, others are more open. Undulating terrain adds an element of strategy to shot placements as side hill lies and baskets can often lead to roll-aways and birdie-to-bogie scores in a flash.

The Chester course is a classic, well maintained and well-laid out New England-style course. The challenging, mostly wooded holes are not super-long, but they do require a balanced combination of both finesse and power. Some fairway lines are pretty tight, others are more open. Undulating terrain adds an element of strategy to shot placements as side hill lies and baskets can often lead to roll-aways and birdie-to-bogie scores in a flash.

The course has a beautiful information kiosk (including sign-in book), practice basket and excellent signage and walking paths between holes. Two framed, gravel tee boxes per hole dot the Front 9 (Pro-Black and Novice-Green), with a few alternate boxes as well. There are a handful of unique, hand carved wooden benches and traditional benches scattered throughout the course – a nice feature.

The Back 9, scheduled to open in early June 2019, features a variety of challenging holes as the course climbs to the relatively flat summit of the pinnacle. Most of the B9 fairways wind through tall pine tree stands, before culminating on hole #18 and a sharp downhill approach to a basket located just uphill of the recently restored picnic pavilion.

Any disc golfer will enjoy and appreciate the beauty, flow, challenge and shot shaping required to score on this course. Definitely worth checking out.
