Some standing water and the low spots are pretty soft, but overall good conditions. Turf tees, tee signs and DISCatchers all in great shape! Thanks Vernon for the use of your land!

Developing course on private land, but open to the public 24/7, 365, and is free to play. It is 18 holes on 18 baskets with a putting green available for warm up to the left of the first tee. Tee pads are a mix of turf and built up mulch pads. As it is a developing course it is important to note that many fairways have stumps and uneven ground in the wooded holes. Additionally, downed trees still line a lot of the fairways as we continue to clean up the course. Proper footwear and caution should be used at all times when on the course. To get an up to date course map as well as individual hole information you can view the course photos.

This land is donated for our use at no cost by Vernon Kynock. It is imperative that you respect the land by not littering on the course. There is a waste bin at the hole 1 tee so please collect your garbage and dispose following the round. Additionally, if you smoke please ensure you dispose of your butts in a garbage can and refrain from smoking during dry periods. Misuse of the land will result in removal of the course.

PARKING:
Disc Golfers are not to park in the Thunderbird Diner parking lot. Proceed to the gated road past the diner and park to the left of the gate. Be sure not to block the road as it does have truck traffic from time to time and is an access road for Mr. Kynock.

FACILITIES:
This course is on private land and there is no clubhouse or washroom facilities. If you have garbage we ask that you take it out with you when you leave the course or deposit it in the garbage can next to the 1st tee. We have a lost and found lock box bolted to a tree into the woods directly across from the course information board. If you find a lost disc please contact the owner (if number is on the disc) and put it in the lock box.

SCHEDULING ROUNDS:
If you are a local, or a visitor, we encourage you to join our Facebook Messenger Chat Room to schedule rounds with local players. Visitors tend to join the room to schedule a round and then leave it when they leave the city. It's an easy way to get a round in with someone familiar with the course.

When you turn into the driveway you can proceed to the road with a gate. You are not permitted to park in the diner parking lot if you are playing disc golf. There is ample parking to the left of the gate.

The basket for number 1 can be seen from the gate, and the tee box is shortly after the gate marked with a wooden post.
