Karst Farm Park
Karst Farm Park, the oldest disc golf course in Bloomington, was re-designed in 2016 to include a new back 9 holes. It is relatively open with plenty of room to air out drives. In 2020, all baskets were replaced with Dynamic Disc Veteran baskets thanks a fundraiser organized by pastor (and club member) Josh Knipp. Founding Club member Mark Moore was the course designer.

Crestmont Park
The Crestmont disc golf course, established in 2000, includes 18 baskets and cement tee pads. Founding Club member Mark Moore was the course designer. The course is around 4,300 feet and offers a nice mix of open and wooded holes with some elevation change on several holes. Crestmont Park is a Bloomington City park.

The 18-hole disc golf course at Richland-Bean Blossom Schools was established in 2012. Former Club President TJ Lewis was the course designer.

Sherwood Oaks Christian Church
Sherwood Oaks Christian Church has a 9-hole disc golf course that is open to the public. It is a relatively short, open course that’s great for beginners and those looking to play safari golf when they have the course to themselves. Founding Club member Mark Moore and Sherwood Oak Christian Church Youth Minister Jeremy Earle were the course designers. There are a few alternate layouts that club members use now to get a full 18 holes in at Sherwood.

Arlington Heights Elementary
The Arlington Heights disc golf course is a fun 9-hole course. 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. It was 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.

Brown County
Neighboring Monroe County to the east is Brown County, which contains two excellent courses: Deer Run and BC3.
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 course layout, almost entirely bordered by Salt Creek, combines long, open holes, semi-wooded holes with mature trees, and wooded technical holes. Each hole has two tees. The shorter “Red” course is more beginner friendly while the longer “Blue” course appeals to more advanced players.
According to UDisc, “users rate [BC3] the best course in Indiana! Designed by Indiana Disc Golf Hall of Fame member Jerry Suiter, the course features open fairways, wooded holes, water hazards, and lots of elevation changes in a beautiful setting. Course design enables all levels of play, multiple tees, and a 9-hole beginners layout. Clubhouse includes restrooms, pro shop, and snacks. BC3 hosts many tournaments throughout the year including the State Championships so be sure to check out the website.”
