I created a Google Map for Triangle Disc Golf Courses for my own purposes, and I thought some of you might be amazed at the plethora of discing opportunities in the area.

Some call it "Frolf", but I never have, for whatever reason.

I play as often as I can, usually at Buckhorn (love that course!!) I need to check out some of those private courses sometime....

Thanks. Just played again last weekend for the first time in a couple of years. Wow, it showed. Apparently, I have forgotten how to properly release the disc on drives, but at least my putts were pretty good.

Looking forward to trying some more.

Buckhorn is awesome. My fav fo sho.
Lots of private courses in the area too.
2 pretty good courses in Burlington that are worth a trip.

Yes. Cedarock and Wellspring are the two in Cedarock Park in Burlington. Well worth the drive.

Cedarock is nice and open... and will give your throwing arm a workout if you go for distance.

Wellspring is wooded, hilly and tight. Quite a challenge.

Both are well-maintained and tees and baskets are in great shape.

I definitely need to add them to my map.

Here's an updated link to the map.

Triangle Disc Golf Courses on Google Maps

I switched the map over to another gmail account. I tried to edit the first post, but couldn't find a way.

I added the new Middle Creek Park Disc Golf Course to the map. Played it this past weekend and it was a real challenge. Very tight and wooded for the most part.

This is awesome. Disc Golf is definitely a fun activity. Thanks a lot.

I saw Middle Creek had a course, but I havent been yet. I am happy to hear it is challenging!

PS- Buckhorn is a terrible course, don't go! Don't tell anyone about it, just forget it even exists! It is horrendous playing disc golf with no people on the course surrounded by beautiful nature in tranquil silence! There are also monsters in the lake that will steal your discs and eat your pets!
