The experience of playing here is really quite unique. Ed Headrick helped with the design but someone connected with these courses has a really creative mind. Among the things you won't see anywhere else are a raised basket which is welded onto an old steam engine of some kind; another raised basket which is welded onto a big, old safe; the # 18 basket on the front course is hung in this small round, silo like, metal building which is about six feet across and on the new little 18 hole pitch and putt, the bed of an old pick up now serves as the tee box.

This facility is marketed as a wedding venue and the disc golf courses. However, the wedding business takes priority and therefore the disc golf is only offered randomly, possibly as seldom as once a month. They are hoping to find more times in the future. The entire facility reminds you of the most beautiful, the cleanest, manicured, landscaped city park you can imagine. Everything has been done first class. Every path, bench, bridge, set of stairs has been constructed the way one would if money and manpower were no concern.


Nowhere, anywhere, has so much money, manpower and thought gone into a disc golf course that is so seldom available to the public. You want to get on their email list and be notified of open dates. I don't know how I was so lucky today. I showed up uninvited and was told, rather gruffly that they were closed. OK? So I was sitting in my car trying to figure out where I was going next, when the same guy came by and said, "OK, you can play."

There are two courses here that kind of co-exist or sometimes intersect. The front course is shorter and easier. The back course is longer and more challenging. They sometimes share the same tee or the same basket. The tee signs are almost identical but the Front Course has gold sign numbers and the Back Course has bronze numbers.

The equipment is top notch. The concrete tee pads are all surrounded by gravel. The tee signs are lovely colored with the two or three basket positions shown. The PGA baskets were once orange but I think they're faded to kind of a soft pink color. Each raised basket has a clever way to retrieve your disc.

My favorite holes were in the back of the property where there is a little creek and lots of large boulders. Starting with # 12 Gold which was a simple throw over the corner of a pond but the basket is slightly elevated and sits right on the edge. # 8 Bronze crosses over creeks and bridges and is lovely. I think it was # 15 back here that threw over two creeks and the basket was set among the large boulders.

That both courses intertwined with each other was fairly confusing. They both use some of the same baskets. The signs are so similar and often both courses will share the same tee pad. I mostly tried to follow the front course but ended playing them both simultaneously. I'm sure I played all of the Front Course but I might have missed a few holes of the Back Course.

It would really help if each course had it's own color baskets and if the signs were more contrasting.

Mostly closed for weddings.

I think there sometimes multiple pads for the same hole.

In spite of a few navigational issues, this place is amazing. Playing here is a wonderful experience that every disc golfer should have. I know the infrequent openings probably are keeping some locals from playing and I understand that. Playing here will test your patience and will require a little more effort on the golfers part but believe me, if you do get the chance, by all means, come and experience Splat Hill DGC. Most likely, you have not played a course as unique, clean and interesting as Splat Hill!

And now they offer a third course, the recently completed, pitch and putt course. As with everything here, it's clean and fun with lots of Ace opportunities although the smaller Dynamic Discs baskets are a bit tougher to putt on. The course is not yet listed on any site but I'm betting that's coming.
