I am sharing this for documentation of an injury that happened at the Bluemont course today…read more(5/9/26) around 11am. context: family and I disc-golfed today. as i finished hole 1 with my 3yo kid by my side, we were about to start hole 2. we didnt hear any warning or a "fore" call. incident: someone threw a mid-range disc into my kid's face. the throw came from the direction of hole 2 towards hole 3. my kid bled from their nose and mouth; blood all over their face and clothes. afterwards: the thrower did *NOT* come over to check on us after hitting us with a throw, nor apologized. I went over to tell them what happened and they had excuses and even tried to blame us for being in the way. I gave them a piece of my mind but had no way to hold the thrower accountable. the beveled edge disc was so close to hitting my kid's eyes. these two adult men cowards tried to wait for us to leave so they can go on playing. review: this is horrible behavior as people in public space and definitely worse as members in the frisbee community. it is just so wrong and unfair that these two grown men to hurt someone.. a small child... and acted like nothing happened and showed no remorse. call to action: 1. Be on the look out for a heavy-set asian man, short black hair with sunglasses and a medium built latino man with ear-length curly black hair. both about 5"7" to 5'9" tall and in their mid- to late-30s. they cant hit the basket but will shamelessly hit a child . losers. 2. dont hit people with a disc golf. if you do, be a normal person and help the person you injured and apologize. simple, right?

Be sure to write your name and phone number in the event you lose your disc in a bramble or stream. This is such a lovely course. It is 36 hole course. After 18 holes, the course loops back to the parking lot so you can tap out if you are tired. By the parking lot, there is a large open space where you can practice your throws against a basket. Every hole has a sign denoting where the target is, as well as the distance to the basket and the par count. On most holes, you can see the basket from the tee area. At the end of each hole, is a marked sign where the next hole is. It is a rolling hill course with a running stream where your discs can fly awry if you have a tendency to shank your throw. There are a bunch of trees that can really do good damage to your discs. There is a parking fee on the weekends. It is free to park on weekdays. If you want to bypass, the fee, park along the scenic and greatest road, Riffle Ford, by the bridge overlooking Seneca Creek. When you come here, be sure to bring some water and a towel. Your disc will get wet and be covered in dirt. The course is a tad difficult. There are a bunch of trees that can really do a good damage to your discs.

This review is for the disc golf course, not the mini golf course…read more I have played disc golf at a few different courses around the country (not because I am good but because I travel a lot haha!) and I was so happy to find this beautiful course so close to home! As a beginner I really enjoyed the course because the baskets are all positioned in a fairly straight line, making it easier to aim. I will say that my boyfriend found this a bit frustrating, as he is a skilled player. The views are unbeatable and the course is very well maintained. There is a lot of traffic around the course, since it is directly next to the walking path around Burke Lake, so be careful of pedestrians, especially kids. It also seems to be pretty popular, with a wide range of skill levels so be prepared to wait while the people in front of you finish :) Overall I loved this course and I can't wait to play there more often!

This is a spot where no reservations are needed, and the cost is extremely reasonable. Anything outdoors is appreciated. Yet it's time for the county to make some repairs. The course isn't as well maintained as it was. There are roots that can make you be more vigilant. Personally I'd rather relax, but pay attention to where you walk. The containers are aging. My hope is this year they'll fix it up. Obviously that's up to the park authority. If you want to try out this activity, this is a good place to start.

There are several different places to park and a few different entrances, depending on whether you're interested in the fields, the playgrounds, the disc golf or the trails. So much to choose from! I went for the trails, which is connected to the W&OD that is 40-plus miles long and Four Mile Run. So, pick the one you'd like, and loop around back to your parking spot. I really like this park! You can also find a bench and just hang out near some trees or the fields. You can bring a blanket and toss around a frisbee and have a little picnic. You can bring your children and let them run around and play. What a find in NoVa!

Both large and small dog parks are double gated so the dogs cant get out and run off. The area for the small dogs is maybe a third if the size of the large dog side. There is fresh water for your dog to get drinks and there's a poopie bag dispenser so you can clean your mess. Most of the people here pay attention to their dogs behavior and I personally haven't seen a blown out dog fight. Its a good social spot for you and your dog. Not much seating area but there are a few fixed benches in the fenced parks. Parking is usually available and near the park entrances. If your dog needs a energy release, give this place a try.
