Course Reviews

Disc golf is fun for me on many levels — athletic competition, design and educational principals related to landscape architecture, the mental requirements it demands of you, similarities to my childhood love of golf and best yet…promotion. Golf is fascinating to me, but to many it’s boring. I feel bad that they think its boring [...]

The other day I had the opportunity to play Maple Hill Disc Golf Course in Leicester, MA — it was the closest thing to playing on a major tournament course I’ve ever experienced. Playing golf since I was 6 years old, I have been brought up watching the sport’s majors intently. I used to dream [...]

Quarry Run Disc Golf Course- Augusta, Maine             This course is straight up awesome!  Any type of hole you can imagine is here.  There are short ace runs, long downhill bombers, tight wooed shots, shots from fields into gaps, open field holes, and plenty more.  The course plays through an old rock quarry with a [...]

Pyramids Disc Golf Course is my favorite disc golf course.  This play has it all, open, tight, long, short, doglegs, elevation, and one of the best and most famous pro shops in all of the North East- Marshall Street Disc Golf.  This course is located on a great piece of land that has a stream [...]

Have you ever played a disc golf course that you absolutelyloved, never to have played it again? Have you only played HALF of a disc golf course that you absolutely loved, never to have played it again? Well, until this summer, I thought the second half of that statement was applicable to me. Here’s the [...]

Every time I step foot on a disc golf course, it absolutely boggles my mind how the sport is completely unknown to the majority of the world. You ask anybody on God’s given earth if they have heard of basketball, and what do they say? Yes. What about disc golf? It’s incredible that a sport [...]

First and foremost, this is a member’s only course.  You cannot play here unless you are a member or are with a member.  This course is part of an apple orchard, brewery, farm attractions, and many more fun options.  A stage is set up under the pavilion so live music can be heard often when [...]

-The Jungle is located at Sanford Lake Park in Sanford, Michigan. The daily rate per car is $6, so have your money ready at the gate. When you get inside you’ll want to follow the road left until you see the message board and first tee on your right. Hole #1 was recently moved to [...]

Since this is my first contribution to Disc Golf Traveler, I wanted to take a second to introduce myself. My name is Brian Giggey and I’m the tour manager for nationally touring band, Zach Deputy. Zach and I met in 2007 when I was in my first year of graduate school at UMass where I [...]

Penn State…when you think of this school you probably think of football, partying, and cows … and probably in that order. While Happy Valley’s  new disc golf course is getting plenty of traffic, it is unlikely to dethrone Beaver Stadium as the area’s most recognizable sports complex any time soon.  However, that doesn’t mean the [...]

Nestled in the woods of  Tyler State Park in Newtown, PA lies a disc golf course that is well-maintained, beautiful, and serene.  I learned quickly however,  that looks can be deceiving… Now I know what you’re thinking…but I can assure you that Tyler State Disc Golf Course is a BLAST to play. It features a [...]

Just off of the campus of the University of Maryland lies a disc golf course that is ideal for players who are new to the game.  The Calvert Road Park Disc Golf Course offers players a  small, straight forward, no-frills experience. While beginners will like the course for it’s playability, more advanced players will become [...]

Hey, if it’s good enough for Ken Climo… The Cliff Stephens Disc Golf Course in Clearwater, FL is located about 20 minutes away from the Tampa, FL airport, making it an ideal destination for fellow disc golf travelers headed to the Sunshine State. This beautifully maintained disc golf course features well-marked concrete tee boxes, a [...]

If you are visiting Pasco County, FL (Tampa Bay area)  you don’t have too many options as far as disc golf courses go. Sure, you could travel down the Sun Coast Parkway about 45 minutes to Clearwater (later posts to come)…but what if you don’t have half a day to kill?  The Word of Life [...]
