Frisbee/Disc Golfing in Grand Rapids?
Hey does anybody know if there are any Disc-Golfing courses in Grand Rapids or the surrounding areas? I found one in Holland, but I can't justify going all the way there two or three times a week.. There ought to be a course in closer proximity to downtown GR, no?

I was going to say Riverside Park too. It's just North of downtown along the Grand River.
There's also Earle Brewer Park in Byron Center (15 minute drive or so from downtown). |

I've played at Riverside.. It's a nice course through a very picturesque park along the river.
There is at least one hole where water is a real hazard, so bring an extra disc or two, just in case.

There's one at Cascade Township Park at 3810 Thornapple River Drive SE, Grand Rapids MI 49546. You can see the park on I-96 on your way to downtown from Detroit.
It's a nice 18 hole course.
Very accessible from 96, take the 36th street exit, turn left on 36th street and left again on Thornapple River Drive. Park is on the right side.
Here's the course layout in pdf format: http://cascadetwp.org/Community/Parks/DiscGolfMap.pdf |
