Course Name: Balgriffen Park Disc Golf Course - Dublin, Ohio 43017

Description:
The site for this course is a wide drainage swale with a beautifully manicured pond at one end.  Woerner-Temple Rd. borders the entire north side of the course an is of course out- of-bounds (traffic moves fast on this road so be careful!). The south side of the course is bordered by a man made flood control mound.
This is perhaps the most confusing course layout I have ever seen.  Tees are marked with flush mount 4x4's (with numbers but no footages), but there are no above ground signs to guide you to them.  The baskets are DGA Mach V's which do not have number plates that can be read from a distance.  Since the space is virtually wide open, there are no physical signals linking tee to basket.  Once you find the tee you're looking for, you must choose from two to four baskets which could be your target.  This means you have to hike out close enough to read the small number on the pole in order to determine the correct target to throw at. 

This  course was designed by a boy scout as a eagle scout project.  It was financed and installed by the Dublin Parks Department.  The course requires you to learn and memorize the layout in order to play it at a normal pace. Please be careful of flying discs and fast moving traffic.  Flying discs and fast moving traffic could be dangerous!

It seems as if someone has installed nine additional tee pads for a total of 18 pads and nine baskets which adds exponentially to the confusion.  I didn't have the patience to attempt to figure it out.

Since our last visit, someone has slightly redesigned the layout providing a more reasonable starting point and some what better over-all flow, but it's not a cure for the confusing design.

Directions:
In the far northwest side of Columbus (Dublin Area); Exit I-270 west on Tuttle Crossing to Emerald Parkway. Turn right (north) on Emerald Parkway. Take Emerald Parkway north to Woener-Temple Rd (the first light). Turn left (west) on Woerner-Temple. Go approximately .5 miles (you will see poleholes on the left) and turn left on xxxxx Rd.  Parking is along the street.  The tee for the first hole (which goes across the pond) is along the sidewalk.  After that....good luck!
