Lanchester DGC

***CLOSED FOR THE 2025/2026 WINTER SEASON*** The Lanchester Disc Golf Course is a shaded, 9-hole course set in a mature woodland on the grounds of an active landfill. Towering hardwoods and a dense fern-covered forest floor create a technical and scenic playing experience for all skill levels. The course also shares space with the Lanchester Nature Trail, offering benches and relaxing trail segments alongside a competitive disc golf challenge. 🛑 Safety First: This course is located on a working landfill. All players must yield to staff and authorized vehicles at all times. Bug spray and sunscreen are recommended for your comfort. ⸻ Hole-by-Hole Course Highlights Hole 1 Begins at the trailhead of the Lanchester Nature Trail. A narrow, wooded tunnel forces precision off the tee. This opening hole sets the tone for a technical round ahead. Hole 2 Pro and Am pads diverge: • Pro tee shoots over ridged forest terrain with a tight window. • Am pad runs parallel but deeper into the woods. Ferns define boundaries, rewarding accurate placement. Hole 3 Pro and Am share a tee, but Am players add a stroke. A rightward bend in the fairway leads toward a large hill. Overshooting risks an unforgiving slope beyond the pin. Hole 4 A sweeping curve through forest brings you near a handicap-accessible hunting blind. The facility uses this blind during its annual Wounded Veterans Hunt each December. Please respect this space. Hole 5 Players walk west along the mowed trail away from the blind. • Am pad is located near the grassy trail. • Pro tee is tucked into the woods. Both require clearing a stormwater berm before reaching a slightly downhill basket. Hole 6 Pro and Am share a tee. This is a signature downhill launch spanning nearly 550 feet. A rewarding opportunity for distance throwers. Hole 7 A single tee launches into a straight lane that pivots right after ~170 feet. The figure-8 style approach leads uphill to a guarded green. Placement and approach control are key. Hole 8 Separate Pro and Am pads. The basket hangs suspended from a tree, offering a unique challenge. This hole weaves through a peaceful section of the Lanchester Nature Trail featuring benches and scenic rest points. Hole 9 A straight shot to a raised basket on a grassy mound. A clean finish that loops players back to the parking area and trailhead. ⸻ Whether you’re a seasoned player or a first-time visitor, the Lanchester Disc Golf Course blends nature, precision, and community. We hope you enjoy your round!
