Columbus County Park

A no fee scenic county park course. The layout is challenging but fair and has the potential to be championship level. It has the attributes that attracts disc golfers. Short and long tees, short holes with elevation, some technical tunnel shots and other long, open field holes to wooded basket placements (Innova DISCatcher Pro 28 baskets). Ace runs on holes 2 and 5 and a couple more on the back nine. The layout includes a cool shot off an elevated platform and a river hole with anhyzer or hyz ...

A no fee scenic county park course. The layout is challenging but fair and has the potential to be championship level. It has the attributes that attracts disc golfers. Short and long tees, short holes with elevation, some technical tunnel shots and other long, open field holes to wooded basket placements (Innova DISCatcher Pro 28 baskets). Ace runs on holes 2 and 5 and a couple more on the back nine. The layout includes a cool shot off an elevated platform and a river hole with anhyzer or hyzer lines. The rough is pretty dense with some thorns in areas with long grass on a couple of the longer holes (bring bug spray). The fairway grass is regularly mowed. There are tee signs on holes and temporary flags to designate shorts and longs. In the absence of next tee signs be sure to use UDisc maps for easier navigation. Plenty of picnic tables and trash cans. A lodge in the front parking lot with nice, clean restrooms and a vending machine. I met numerous trail walkers on the course. Many were curious and asked questions about the course and disc golf In general. It was a great opportunity to be an ambassador for the sport....even met Will’s mom (the course is named for him in remembrance). She is super excited! Overall, the course is still understandably raw, and needs additional cleanup but the course designers and volunteers have done a fantastic job so far!

One of the best courses in the state. Jeff put together a gem. The front 9 has a great mix of big controlled distance shots, elevation, hazards, and lots of scoring opportunities. Hole 6 is one of the coolest shots on the course and gives major toboggan feels. The back 9 offers the rare chance to really air out some distance drives. Hole 10 may be the best hole on the course and requires 3 excellent shots to get the birdie. The back mixes in some shorter controlled shots in which can be challeng ...

One of the best courses in the state. Jeff put together a gem. The front 9 has a great mix of big controlled distance shots, elevation, hazards, and lots of scoring opportunities. Hole 6 is one of the coolest shots on the course and gives major toboggan feels. The back 9 offers the rare chance to really air out some distance drives. Hole 10 may be the best hole on the course and requires 3 excellent shots to get the birdie. The back mixes in some shorter controlled shots in which can be challenging given the fact you get used to smashing on drivers and not worrying so much about accuracy. There is also a good amount of OB in the back. This will be an excellent course for players to get the feel for what pro tour courses are like. All this place needs to be an A+ is some cement tee pads!

Don't mind the salty C review from the person that went through and downvoted every A review. Some people just don't get it.

I played mostly longs with an MA1 rated friend. The course had improved tees on every hole and most holes had long and short tees. The water was avoidable on the water hole. Based on the glowing reviews I’ve seen, I was expecting a much better course. There were a lot of long, flat open holes with tall, disc-eating grass. I’d say, “Send out a spotter,” but who does that? The long holes were just throw-it-as-far-as-you-can long, and long for long’s sake, but not the kind of l ...

I played mostly longs with an MA1 rated friend.

The course had improved tees on every hole and most holes had long and short tees. The water was avoidable on the water hole.

Based on the glowing reviews I’ve seen, I was expecting a much better course.

There were a lot of long, flat open holes with tall, disc-eating grass. I’d say, “Send out a spotter,” but who does that? The long holes were just throw-it-as-far-as-you-can long, and long for long’s sake, but not the kind of long where you play this throw to set up that throw.

There were several out-of-place short holes for a course that aspires to be a championship level course.

The course did not require very many shot shapes. It was entirely RHBH. I was not at any disadvantage by not having a forehand. There were only two right turning holes that I can remember and both were RHBH anhyzers.

The course did not provide many opportunities for decision-making. The only risk-reward hole was the hole with the platform tee. The risk was falling off the platform and breaking your neck. The reward was not falling off and breaking your neck.

The biggest “nope” for me was the waist high, disc eating grass. We didn’t lose any discs because we spotted for each other, but we found discs. This was a one-hour drive I will not make twice.
