Description
Originally designed in 1978 by the legendary Ed Headrick (with help from Michael Conger and Dennis Loftus), this is one of the oldest disc golf courses in the USA. It is unique in that it plays on sand and in pines adjacent to the beach. 2018 renovations - new maps and signs installed at all the White tees. Scorecards/maps and discs at the nearby Seaside Nature Center. There are a total of 19 white tees, 12 longer blue tees and 19 shorter red tees which all play to the same baskets. A fun yet challenging course - pine trees and breezy conditions. Use bug spray in the summer. New tees, signs and baskets added in 2022.
