***COURSE HISTORY***
The Disc Golf Course at Pontiac Oaks County Park, affectionately known as ‘The Thorne,’ was established in 2021 by Driftwood Creek Disc Golf Club.
In 2025, holes 1-3 were relocated to accommodate a new lakeside paved trail and other park amenities. Additional improvements to the 18-hole course - including replacement of tee pads and updated basket locations - ensure the Pontiac Oaks Disc Golf Course will be a challenging, safe and enjoyable experience for years to come.
Thank you for playing at "The Thorne."
