Heavy & Fancy DGC

Vaughan, North Carolina

Lake Gaston's premier course, a par 68 wooded course with multiple layouts, Heavy & Fancy has fun and challenging lines!

May 2025 Update Most of the permanent tee pads in the short locations have now been installed! This brings us one step closer to completing the full course infrastructure. With all yellow baskets in place, there are now two full 18-hole layouts ready to play. Digital scorecards reflect the latest basket placements, and we've added nine-hole loops for those looking to play shorter rounds. We're also seeing more and more players showing up for our monthly doubles events—thank you to everyone who's been coming out and helping the scene in the area! Local support for the course continues to grow, and we're incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and encouragement. Next up: once the short tees are fully installed, we'll shift focus to building out the long tees, paving the way for future Advanced and Professional-level layouts. Thank you for being a part of this journey! Venmo @HeavyandFancy - - - What? Heavy and Fancy DGC is an 18 hole, par 68 disc golf course on 38 wooded acres in Warren County, North Carolina, near Lake Gaston. Who? Heavy & Fancy DGC is the passion project of Mike Heydlauf and Troy Hottle. Mike bought the land in March of 2023 and Troy designed the layout. Since then they've spent nearly every weekend sweating, cursing, and spending on the property, alongside a group of amazing volunteers from the Oxford Disc Golf club and local disc golf friends. Why call it "Heavy & Fancy"? When first exploring the property we found a rusted-out, old tin sign advertising "Heavy & Fancy Groceries". We figured the description makes about as much sense for a disc golf course as it does for a grocery store, so why not? Access? Heavy and Fancy is open to the public and free to play. Recommended donation of $5/round or $10/day will help continue to expand the layouts and add new amenities (please see our website for more information). Entry? The driveway enters on the Flemming Mill Road side of the intersection with Eaton Ferry Road. The practice green is on the west side of the powerline right-of-way in a grove of cedars. Hole #1 tees are set back and to the left of the entrance to the practice green. - - - Please note that this is privately owned land made available for public recreational use.
