Sandy Knoll Disc Golf Course

Disc golf review. This course is perfect when you want to get a round in but only playing 18 holes just isn’t satisfying enough. Featuring 27 holes in total, you are sure to spend a few hours here. You can warm up by playing the new short 9 holes before hitting up the 18 holes where fairways can vary in length depending on pin placement and the tee pad you choose to play from. There is also a pro-shop on site which is an added bonus to this course. This course is pay to play with either a daily or annual pass (per car) you can (post)purchase online through the Washington County Park system. Course is clean and well-kept too. For the 9 hole course, the signs appear to be temporary. The tee pads are dirt for now and there is only one pin placement. I am uncertain if the future of these 9 hole will eventually have alternate pins and/or concrete pads.  Not all the holes have the flexibility to have alternate pin placements though. This 9 hole portion of the course is great for practice, warming up, or that ace run. Majority of the fairways are open but have a variety of obstacles on your approach. Hole two is by far my favorite with it’s narrow fairway outlined by trees. The 9 hole course is great for amateurs to learn the game and challenges the more seasoned players forcing them to take a little off their shot. Once you finish playing these 9 holes, head across the street and brace yourself for what could be the best game of your life or the worse. The 18 hole course is equipped with a pro pad (yellow circled signs; yellow pad) and amateur pad (black circled signs; black pad). The signs that are in good shape, show multiple pin placements and are updated with a bolt showing which position you'll find the pin in. There are three pin placements for every hole if my memory serves me correctly. I am uncertain how often pin placements are changed since I don’t play here often enough to know. The signs don’t point out the next tee but there are arrows on each basket leading you the right direction. Getting lost here would be difficult to do. Starting out in the woods and finishing in the woods, there are a few holes in between where you are out in the open and aiming for some tight gaps or huge bends in the fairway. This isn’t the most forgiving course. Even the short placements are not all that easy. There are a few holes that are grip it and rip it but not without some accuracy involved in your approach. There isn’t much for elevation in the terrain but there are a few elevated baskets. Even from the amateur pad, these holes can be monstrous and disheartening for new players but don’t be intimidated by the length of the holes. They are still a lot of fun to play even when every throw, including your second or third shot, could be challenging or far. Tough courses are great practice regardless. Overall, don’t plan on getting a quick round in if you decide to play this course. It hasn’t been busy when I’ve been here but I usually start early morning. This course also hosts several tournaments per year, with good reason, so check the calendar before making the trip. It takes two – four people roughly 120-150 minutes to play all 27 holes without a lot of disc searching too. Be sure to relax and enjoy the secluded feeling while playing through this peaceful and gorgeous backdrop of a course.

Great park. They have a 18 hole-very nice and clean. They also have a beginner's 9 hole, very clean as well, and both are very well kept up. A awesome pro shop. Very nice and helpful people. Highly recommend! Only down fall is the disc golf course is in a Washington county park, meaning you need a park sticker. It's worth the price of a park pass!

Awesome course. Well marked. 3 different distances. lots of woods. Played the longest length (C) due to upcoming tournament. It was a a challenging layout. Will be going again.

This is without a doubt my new favorite course. For a intermediate player this course is challenging, fun and beautiful. They also have a sweet pro shop for all your disc golf needs ✌️ On a side note this course might be a little challenging for newer players so approach with caution. They have a short & easy 9 hole course on site as well

Played the 9 hole medium. Great little course. Some tough holes, some straight holes. Really nice pads and well marked.
