Kaleb Politte Memorial Disc Golf Course

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 19, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a 9 hole course that is located in a city park. This park is popular among the locals because the city swimming pool is located here, along with tennis courts, playground equipment, and a building that used to be utilized as the community Senior Center, where meals for the Meals On Wheels were prepared. The Senior Center has since been moved to another location, but the building where the Senior Center used to be centered continues to be used by the community for various events and purposes. The park features several parking lots, but there will be times where some the parking lots will be full due to persons using the community building, the swimming pool, the pavilions, or the playgrounds. The park itself is clean and features beautiful scenery. This 9 hole course features concrete tee pads for every hole. Each tee features a sign for the number of the hole and the par. The number for each hole is displayed on each basket. Each hole has a sponsor and the name of the sponsor for each hole is displayed on the sign at each tee. The local high school is the sponsor of hole #6. Local businesses are the sponsors of the other 8 holes. This course does not have water hazards or brush hazards. It is highly unlikely that any player will lose a disc or waste time searching for a disc.

Cons:

The tees for #2 and #5, and the basket for #3 are located too close to city streets. In the event of errant throws or overthrows, players may have their discs land in the streets or on properties located on the opposite street side of the park. The soil is of a type that does not dry out from late autumn to mid-spring. During winter, even with several days in a row with no precipitation and several days in a row of temperatures in the 50s, the course remains muddy and much of the grass remains marshy.

Other Thoughts:

In June 2022, this course was renamed the Kaleb Politte Memorial Disc Golf Course. Kaleb was an employee of the City of Bonne Terre, and he was an avid disc golf player. Kaleb passed away at the age of 38 in August 2021 after being hospitalized for several weeks with the covid virus. This course features beautiful scenery for a game. The basket for hole #3 is located on the portion of the park which has the highest elevation in not only the park, but the town. The view at hole #3 is spectacular, especially during months when leaves are not on the trees. This course is one of four courses located in Saint Francois County. The other 3 courses in Saint Francois County feature 18 baskets and are only a 3 to 4 minute drive off of U.S. Highway 67, which will always make those other 3 courses more popular and busy with players. Yet, this 9 hole course remains worth a visit.
