I love being on the road. I've spent years traveling for live music as much as possible. Since COVID, I haven't left the state, but I look forward to a day where we can travel again soon. Disc golf has evolved from a casual 2-3 round/year activity for me to a passion where I'm playing as much as possible. This summer, if things go back to (somewhat) normalcy, I want to take a disc golf road trip.
I'm originally from east TN. I'm kicking myself now for not being more into disc when I lived in the south, because there's an abundance of good courses in the region. I'm tentatively thinking of doing a loop to see some of the prominent courses down south.
Here's what I'm tentatively looking at:
Leave Knoxville, TN for Johnson City, TN, where I will play:
-Harmon Hills
-Kiwanis
from JC I will head to WNC, where on my way to Asheville I will play:
-Black Jack
-Sugaree
I'll spend a few days in AVL staying with a buddy and drinking good beer. In Asheville I plan to play:
-Richmond Hill
-Sandhill Nature Trail
-Black Mountain
-Lake Julian
I'm gonna take a day off from throwing and take a hike, then head towards Charlotte/Rock Hill, where I plan to play:
-Hornets Nest
-Winthrop
-Camp Canaan
From there, I'm gonna loop back through SC and Georgia. courses on my radar for this segment:
-Pipeline -Spartanburg, SC
-Grand Central Station -Central, SC
-North GA Canopy Tours -Lula, GA *this is an off-the-beaten-path course where the signature hole is inside a commercial chicken coop!
Then, I'm going to Chattanooga, TN to play courses there and around Dalton, GA. I'm going to stay with friends in Chatt, spend a few days there, and take at least one day off throwing. Courses in the area:
-Westside - Dalton, GA
-the Sinks - Chatt
-Dallas Island - Hickson, TN
then back to Knoxville. That's about 12-13 days depending on how I split it up. That route has me playing two courses a day with two days off as it stands. It's a gauntlet, but it sounds like so much fun. Throwing plastic exploring beautiful parts of the south.
What are some disc golf trips you have taken? Any must-hits along my route that I have not mentioned?
