Any idea as to when it will be put in and ready to play?

Ferndale Record-Journal, 7/23/09: New disc golf course’s progress pressing forward

Sweet! I visit there often since my Grandparents live in Ferndale. Can't wait to check it out.

Course is getting close. Fly Mart Tee pads are installed I belive the basket collars are in place and awaiting basket installment!

From what I hear the place is done and you can now play it, I plan on getting up there tomorrow after Cornwall, anyone know for sure if it's open?

Course is open!!!!!!!! Cool course has 9 holes with Alt Pads making a fun 18 hole course. The first 4 holes are shorter shots like Rocs or Buzzzs. Then the rest of the holes open up a little with some longer shots. holes 7 and 8 play near a pond. Bring a hyzer disc for hole 8 that you would not mind losing in the water. Fly mart pads are A+. Numbers are spray painted on the pads no map at the moment. Take the Portal Way exit, second exit in Ferndale. At the stop sign as you come off the interstate take a left and the course will be half mile down the road. you can't miss the disccatchers as you get close to the park.

ADMIN....I guess its time to move this with NSRA, Mossy. etc.

Yeah I played it yesterday, pretty decent course, nothing too special but worth playing, check out my review of the course here:

The course is great for exposure. Portal way is a busy street so its going to spark alot of interest as people drive by and see golfers throwing at the Disc Catchers. Big Mike did a good job of laying out a fun mix of holes. The first holes are great for the first timers and the back set is oriented to more experince. This was on purpose. Hole 17 is pure golf. 470+ feet with a narrow fairway and danger danger danger pond on the right! The best thing is that the city has really opened up to it in a big way. I have a feeling there will be another course up there before to long.

review updated!

I am pumped to play it. Props to Big Mike and Ferndale!

For sure! Mr. leslie and all who contributed to get this course put into place with hard work and money, thank you very much as I enjoyed myself while playing, not a bad little course.
