Hiestand Park

Disc golf review. This is a great course for skilled and amateur players. A pay to play course allows for well maintained fairways, minimal garbage on the course and a respect for the game and course. Like Elver Park on the westside of Madison, there is good signage mapping out two concrete tee pads and two pin (red & blue) placements. This allows several options for game play and unique looks at the baskets that may never get old. It would be hard to get lost here as a first time play through and yet the tees and pads are not right on top of each other. Whether it is the elevated pad or the uphill approach, plan to get a lot of exercise. Most looks off the tee pad will have open fairways with little or no obstacles until the final approach. Pin placements are usually tucked away in a corner, around some bushes or placed behind a cluster of trees. With the exception of a few holes, this isn't a grip it and rip it course. Even though this course is in Madison it doesn't feel like you are in the city. Additionally, there is a disc golf shop across the street from the first tee which is an added bonus. If you travel a great distance to get here, play at least two rounds to make it really worth the trip. It took roughly three+ hours for three of us to play two rounds which brings me to my only complaint. This park was busy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon which is to be expected. This great course brings in many new players who still haven't learned some of the etiquette of the game. We spent to much time watching large groups looking for discs and others throwing multiple discs while we waited. That said, I'd recommend playing earlier in the day when possible to avoid the crowd. Definitely a must play course for anyone who enjoys this sport.

Super fun frisbee golf course. Took the littles for their first time out - everyone had a blast. Dog friendly too!

A great park to go for a walk in or take your dog for a walk in. Usually pretty empty but if the weather is really nice you'll get a lot of Ultimate Frisbee players. It's really well kept and clean, if you're looking for somewhere on the East Side to take a breathe I would suggest stopping here.

18 holes. Wide fairways. Nice course. Apps to pay per play are always so challenging unfortunately. We played on a hot humid day. Nice baskets of red and yellow and two charges of two tee boxes.

This is a nice park. It has a frisbee golf course, trails, and a cool sledding hill.
