Malone Park is located in a rather isolated park outside of Dewitt, in between Clinton, just south of highway 30, Malone Park offers a modest challenge to the average golfer as it surrounds a nearby farm field to the south. As such, errant throws on the first 3 holes are likely to find the field and depending on the crop planted could very well the last time you have thrown such disc.

First four holes surrounded by the bordering lake, offering a modest challenge especially on the courses toughest hole number #3.

#3- is shaped by a plateau with a landing with water covering both sides of the landing. My recommendation is to throw a disc you are prepared to lose or have a spotter on hand around the first corner.

At the time of this post, I encountered a fair amount of wildlife at the park in the form of geese and bald eagles. This makes you feel like you a part of a mini-nature sanctuary.

Concrete pads are in great shape, providing a good platform to throw from.

Holes are a good blend of backhand and forehand lines which will keep you on your toes.


More than likely, you will have the whole course to yourself. You will not have to worry about this place being packed as I have rarely seen anybody playing at the same time.

The biggest con to this course is the overgrowth of vegetation once you encounter holes 7,8,9. The course could stand a good chainsaw session to clear more definitive lines that aren't overshadowed by shrubs and low lying limbs.

Furthermore, the layout of Hole 11, 12 can stand to be addressed and modified. As such, two very large trees growing right in front of the tee pad on 11, so there is no line available forcing a golfer to throw left over the railroad track or risk throwing over the lake. These trees should be removed or trimmed at a minimum to provide relief or perhaps move the teepads to another location.

The signs to do list how the hole is laid out, they only show the distance to the pin. Surely, these could be revised in some capacity.

Since, I played a few weeks ago, obviously the vegetation was not an issue. However, there are a few holes such as 7,8,9 that encounter trees and shrubbery. These holes show slight signs of needing to be cut, but they are playable for now.

Perhaps, one day I will bring some clippers and take some of the branches out that creep along the fairway.

Virtually, no infrastructure pertaining to benches to sit on.

Nearby Westbrook Park in Dewitt is a much better course but this is a 2nd option if one were ever bored with that layout.

It could easily be a 3.5 course once the baskets are replaced. The signs are vague when it comes to hole location but it is fairly easy to figure out as most holes are visible from the tee, with the exception of a few holes.

Course, goes along a farm. The homeowners were a bit startled by the fact that I was playing. I could see them eavesdropping, but they never said anything to me. I sense they do not get many disc golfers, but are more likely to encounter a fisherman. If you lose a disc in their field, I don't think they will make a big deal out of it.
