Disc Golf Course Design

Examples of past experiences.

Crossnore Communities for Children

Winston Salem, NC

The disc golf course at Crossnore Communities for Children, once an overgrown set of old baskets, is now a vibrant, family-friendly space. Being located on the campus of a community for children it was really obvious to Sean that the course should be geared towards children, families, and new players. This meant focusing on shorter, par 3 holes that are mostly open. At the same time, he wanted the course to have enough variety that more experienced players might want to come play a round before or after work, especially during the short days of winter. He spent time meeting with Crossnore staff and walking the property to visualize potential holes, playing test holes with friends, and making sure the layout did not interfere with other activities like the Miracle Heights Adventures Ropes Course. The layout Sean designed encourages players to navigate the course in an exciting figure-eight pattern, creating a seamless loop that flows back on itself, facilitating both recreation and meaningful interaction.
