Forest City Disc Golf at Kennedy Park

I played on tuesday and left my yellow putter in #9′s basket. It has a cutsom dye on the top of it and i would really like to get it back. My name and phone number were on the back of the disc. There is a reward involved for it’s return.

We will be holding a disc golf demo day at Kennedy Park on August 3rd (Sunday of OHW) from 11am til 1pm and everyone that shows up will receive a free disc golf disc. We will be teaching the basics of throwing and putting and cover the basics of playing the game and keeping score. Parents and kids are encouraged to attend.

Do to the constant destruction of tee signs #2 and #9 we used to some new mounting methods. The laminated signs are now sandwiched between 1/2″ plywood and 1/4″ plexiglas and secured to the trees with 4″ lag bolts. We have more plexigas on order to make frames for the signs.

I have had the opportunity to play the course with a few different people over the past few weeks and I like the responses I am hearing. People really enjoy the tight untamed woods holes, because they really give a feel for the area of the surrounding town, and they like the ease of the more open field holes. It’s just a fun time. I have been playing the course quite a bit and as far as I know the Lowest 9 hole score is 23 (-4) and the lowest 18 hole score is a 51 (-3). If anyone has interest in coming to play the course feel free to contact me through this site, I live only minutes away.

On a side note, we are still having some trouble with tee signs #2 and #9 being taken down or destroyed. I did happen to catch two girls taking one down while I was playing but they ran as soon as I yelled at them. Within the next week this problem should be solved as new signs are on the way and we have some wood and plexiglas frames to bolt to the trees.

We received a new sponsorship this past weekend from Graytock Enterprises.  Thank you to all that have sponsored!  Be sure to check out the sponsors page for a complete list of our sponsors.

More clearing was done today. Me and my buddy Josh wandered into the woods armed with a pole pruner, lopping shears, and a bow saw. We cleared some over hang on hole #2 along with a few things on the sides though more could still be done. On hole #3 we cleared more on the sides so that it’s a bit more fair and you can actually play out of the rough. Hole #4 needed and still needs the most work. We cleared out small stuff about 15 back on the right side of the fairway, the left side still needs work.

The final 4 baskets went in today and all 9 holes are now playable. All the holes now have new tee signs with all of our sponsors and all tees are marked with orange painted 4×4′s. At the entrance to the course is a brief rules sign explaining how the game is to be played. We will be on the course tomorrow to play through all the holes a few times and do any adjusting we need too.

We have received approval from the Kennedy Park Board to go ahead and install the remaining 4 baskets. This work is scheduled to be completed the weekend of June 28th & 29th.

 Check out all 9 tee signs.
