The elevation change and length make this course fun - hour and a half or so provided that you don't lose a disc and burn up time searching for it. The course starts out with no direction or signs, but after you get to the lakeside holes it becomes pretty obvious. Honestly though, unless you're extremely accurate on every shot, you can't play all 18 holes. There are a couple that run along side the lake, with baskets literally on peninsulas feet away from the water's edge. I've lost a couple here attempting to play these holes for the sake of completeness. There is a scuba diver that goes into the lake and retrieves these - if you manage to catch him he'll grab your disc for you if he can find it. He'll call your number if it is legibly written on the disc. I believe he also sells them - he's got loads organized by area code, apparently for a name-your-price type of arrangement. Nice guy. read more

Overall...a decent park that feels squeezed. Better for experienced players. Concrete pads and satisfactory signage. The entire length of the course is placed in between a neighborhood road and Lake Olmstead. There is also a paved walking trail that follows the same path as the course. So, accuracy is a must, or else you WILL lose some discs in the drink, or to a car run-over, or hit someone. Care must be taken to watch for walker/runners using the trail. Given those concerns, this course is probably better suited for more seasoned players who know how to control their hyzer. The course features are Lake Olmstead (obviously), a good mix of distance drives, tree hazards, and some interesting elevation challenges. There is a restroom attached to a barbecue pit building, located about halfway through the first 9 holes. But it's not cleaned regularly so beware. There are also very few trash bins along the course, so dispose of any trash before hand. Holes 1 and 2 are on some kind of practice field, so they may actually be unavailable at certain times. Enjoy! read more

If you are a disc golf player, you have to travel here. There are 3 courses together in this park…read more There is a clubhouse even though it is closed because of the pandemic. Several practice baskets are set up outside. There is a vending machine. Plus, the pros come here to finish their yearly tour. I played the WR Jackson course and that was the toughest course I have ever played. The fairways are fair but if you get off the fairway, you have a difficult shot over and over again. Holes are extremely long too. It does cost $3 to enter the park then a greens fee of $5. But disc golf is a sport that is better with buddies.

Can you blame me? With two furry family members, I am always looking for a clean and safe space they can run around in. Augusta (including North Augusta) only has a few dog parks and this is a good one. I will say I appreciate the natural shade in the warmer months and the bench to sit (for when they wear me out). The space is a good size and there is a separate space for small and large dogs. I will mention that on the large dog side there is a corner in the back where leaves and such have piled up, making it easy for a dog jump out. I saw one dog hop the fence at least three times on a recent visit. Just be cautious if you're on that side. Again, it is convenient if you are spending time at the Park already and at least worth trying out. But remember, please pick up the poo. Just saying.

And given the option I'd rather just relax. I don't really exercise because, well frankly, it hurts. I see all these people running on the track or down the street and I have think to myself "why not drive? You get there faster and you can enjoy a delicious latte along the way." That being said, I must tell you that Disc Golf is quickly becoming one my favorite obligatory outdoor activities. Point yourself at the hole (which is large pole with a metal basket and a chain-link cage on top. It's the opposite of a hole, that name should change) and throw your disc. Did you miss? Kay. Walk to you disc and try again. Be sure to talk about the course, the wind variance, the deceptive nature of that poplar tree and how many proverbial points you can earn by taking out geriatrics. How fortunate was I to find out that Greenwood has it's own disc golf course? And where else? On a college campus. The course gets a little confusing if you're not a student and familiar with the campus' layout. It's designed to play in small games, with each section in one part of campus. The courses are very nice though, a good distance with a little bit of challenge to each one. I'd recommend this course for any casual player--it's not too bad to start out on, and if you've been playing for a while and you've got nothing else to do on a sunday afternoon (because hey, you certainly can't go get a drink...) then swing down to lander. Some of the most fun I've had for free.

As a new comer, the staff was welcoming and helpful in ensuring I knew the basics and recommended routes to take that would be beneficial for a beginner and definitely had fun doing so. They also have military, student, or first responder discounts and that includes admissions, shoes, and harness; price was very fair. This place certainly had a wide array of equipment for even power lifting, ninja warrior stations, bouldering walls, and plenty of rock walls. You do have to be certified by them to belay on your own, so I stuck with the auto belay walls; just wish there were a little more selection of auto belay walls. Overall, I had a great time and rather you're a beginner or experienced, highly recommend this place if you're into bouldering or wall climbing.

There is a designated kid area with really easy climbs so bring your kids here for exercise or birthday party!! There is also a table tennis and conditioning areas which I use when I'm too tired to climb. I do wish the bouldering area was bigger and had more beginner friendly routes but it might be that i'm just really weak lol. The day pass and the membership price are average for climbing, overpriced if you are expecting gym membership price but so worth it if you like climbing. Overall, an amazing place to visit with your family in the Augusta area!
