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.
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.
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.
