Lemon Lake County Park's First Disc Golf Course Established 1999
Description
Variations of Lemon Lake County Park's Courses were used for the 2010 and 2013 Pro World Championship, the 2018 Tim Selinske US Masters Championship, Indiana State Doubles and Singles Championships, Illinois Open Series, Discontinuum Club Challenge, the long standing Matt "HOMIE" Lovasko Memorial and many other A, B, C and XC Tiered events. More than 1000 dead trees have been removed from this course since 2017 due to the devastation of the Emerald Ash Borer (beetle).
The Red Course is the oldest course at Lemon Lake County Park and was modified in May 2022 to extend the course to a 20 hole format to accommodate more players for state tournaments. It’s a great course that is somewhat technical and will give you the opportunity to test many different types of shots. Many holes require a stable forehand shot or a backhand turnover shot. Though most holes require good accuracy on the tee shot the fairways are more than fair. Wayward shots however will find dense woods/bushes/thicket. Thorn bushes are plentiful during summer months. Course can be played with multiple short par 4’s or long par 3’s. Good course for all types of players from recreational through advanced. Overall, a lot of fun. Temporary signs are in place with new permanent signs coming in 2025. This course can be quite muddy and wet in the Spring. This course begins in SE corner of the upper parking lot near the disc golf pro shop.
Lemon Lake Flight Center is located onsite in the park and north of the main parking lot. Established in 2010 the pro shop and information center is stocked with 1000's of discs, bags, accessories, snacks and beverages for purchase and is home to the Indiana State Disc Golf Museum. The pro shop is open 365 days each year. Hours are subject to change. For more information, to volunteer, sponsor or for programming opportunities please contact the pro shop at 219-771-3472.
Parking fees are only ($5) per car (Indiana State Resident), ($8) per car (Out of State) when a gatekeeper is on duty and at the park's entrance. The Pro Shop does NOT collect parking fees for the park. Park passes are available at the entrance gate and can also be obtained at the Lake County Parks Administrative Offices located at 8411 E. Lincoln Hwy (U.S 30) Crown Point, IN 46307. There are currently no additional fees for disc golf. If there is no gatekeeper on duty, parking is free to all visitors.
