Arlington Heights Elementary:
The Arlington Heights disc golf course is a fun 9-hole course on the grounds of Arlington Heights Elementary school. Former Club President Chris Baker was the course designer. Mostly wide open and with most holes less than 200 feet, this is a beginner friendly course with Dynamic Disc Patriot baskets that go around the perimeter of the school building. For the advanced beginning player on up, Arlington is a good place to work on your putting game. Built originally as a 6-hole course with a grant from Arlington Heights Elementary principal (and club member), Micah Heath. Club member Garrett Baker’s Eagle Scout project added 3 more holes, signage, and benches.

320 Leatherwood Rd
Bedford, IN 47421
Deadwood, established in 2019 and adjacent to Otis Park Golf Course, is the first public disc golf course in Lawrence County. Club member Kole Jacobsen was the course designer. It has 9 holes ranging from 210ft to 285ft with some great elevation change. The course area is shared with a few picnic areas so the landscape is fairly groomed with big full grown trees providing a variety of lines. It’s a course that a newbie who has never played could enjoy while also keeping the experienced player intrigued. Otis Park is a Bedford City Park.
Deer Run:
Deer Run Park
1001 Deer Run Ln.
Nashville, IN, 47448
The 18-hole Deer Run Disc Golf Course opened in 2016, a mile west of Nashville, Indiana. Former Club President Chris Baker was the course designer. Deer Run Park is a multi-use park with ball diamonds and soccer fields. The park is almost entirely bordered by beautiful Salt Creek and there is some great elevation changes and natural scenery throughout. The course layout combines long, open holes, semi-wooded holes with mature trees, and wooded technical holes with some beautiful lines. Each hole has two tees. The shorter “Red” course is more beginner friendly at Par 54 and 3,886ft. The longer “Blue” course is Par 60 at 6,115 ft. Make sure to eat and shop in Nashville while you are there and tell them you were “in town for disc golf”!
Edgewood:
The 18-hole disc golf course at Richland-Bean Blossom Schools was established in 2012. Former Club President TJ Lewis was the course designer. Sitting behind Edgewood Intermediate School in Ellettsville, are handsome red and black Arachnid baskets through the woods and into the open areas behind the soccer field and tennis courts. Many holes have 2 sets of artificial turf tees as well as multiple basket positions. Signage and tee areas are still being improved upon. The brush on most of the course that is cut down for the winter will prove to be a menacing challenge when Spring rolls around.
Karst Farm Park:
Originally an 18-hole disc golf course, the Monroe County Parks Department reduced Karst Farm Park to a 9-holes when the Monroe County Fairgrounds annexed some of the land in the mid 2000s. Karst Farm Park was re-designed in 2016 to include a new back 9 holes. Karst is a relatively open course when plenty of room to air out some drives. Karst Farm Park is the oldest disc golf course in Bloomington. In the summer 2020, all baskets were replaced with Dynamic Disc Veteran baskets thanks to a generous fundraiser from a local church, conceived as a fundraiser by Pastor (and club member) Josh Knipp. Founding Club member Mark Moore was the course designer.

3163 Mitten Rd
Bowling Green, IN 47833
The private 18-hole disc golf course in rural Bowling Green, Indiana (about 15 minutes from Spencer, heading towards Terre Haute) is a challenging course with a mix of wooded and open fairways and a pro shop on site. Former Club member Justin Taylor and Jason Reece were the course designers.

There are a few alternate layouts that club members use now to get a full 18 holes in at Sherwood. Ask a club member for more info!!!
