My home disc golf course and as with much time as I've been disc golfing lately, this might be my home away from home.
Nestled in the beautiful Root River Parkway near the Oak Leaf Trail, this course can be hard to find. The easiest way is to take Forest Home Avenue and when you reach 92nd Street, head south and you'll hit North Root River Parkway, where in a short distance you'll see hole 1 on your left. Hole 2 is across the foot bridge.
While the water doesn't come into play on this course, the woods do. Make sure and take care when you're throwing your favorite disc, as it can easily be gobbled up by the brush. This comes into play on the later holes.
This course is ran by a very dedicated group of volunteers who recently put in concrete tees and made many improvements to the course. There's a lot of TLC from the volunteers here so make sure to clean up after yourself and keep this course beautiful.
Also when you're throwing, take a quick look around for wildlife. There's a doe who lives here with her two young fawns that are spotted on the course frequently. As a matter of fact, I ran into them on Sunday at the hole with the uphill shot (15 maybe?).
Nothing will make you feel worse than hitting Bambi's Mom upside her head with your Innova Destroyer so let her do her thing. Just remember you're a guest in her home.
Leagues are played here Wednesday night I believe. I'm still comically so bad at throwing a disc that I can't play with anyone yet. All in due time.
I love this course, and I hope it's here for years to come. read more
