An old, short 9 hole layout that includes both open and wooded holes. The woods have since become a "haunted hayride" attraction - so the golf fairways wind through hilariously creepy exhibits


+ Nine (largely) playable holes with baskets

+ An absolutely unique course experience, especially if you play it at dusk

- Old baskets, no tees or signage - use uDisc to navigate

- Some of the wooded holes use a winding trail (the path of the haunted hayride) as their fairways, so you're throwing around a circle, just dinking and dunking to stay on the path

- Holes #7 and #8 have become really overgrown, and there are no clear throwing lines from the approximate tee locations

~ Don't confuse this course with Upper Salford. The latter is a wide open 9 in a pristine town park

~ Worth a stop if you're in the area. I scored it a 1.5, and my easy-grader buddy scored it a 2.0. We're probably both right. Go for the experience, not for the disc golf

~ We played this course at the end of a long day of playing area 9's and 18's and it was a lucky break. Dusk is a perfect time to weave through the Halloween props and displays. The disc golf course itself wasn't much - but the experience was unique and hilarious

The Salford Township Community Park DIsc Golf Course (will be called TSTCPDGC from hence forth) is a fairly rustic excuse for a disc golf course. TSTCPDGC actually starts out behind the post office and beyond the small children's play area. Out back there you will find a building called the barn. There is actually a large parking lot back there. I don't believe this course will ever need that parking.

There is little sign of the course. There are no signs. The tee pads are two small rubber mats if you can find locate them. The baskets are older Mach I models. The on-line map is a little sketchy and difficult to follow. I figured out most of it by the Braille system.

# 1 starts up by the basket and plays about 140' to the basket over near the barn. # 2 is a big anhyser shot around the bushes to a basket down in the corner. # 3 then plays straight into the woods which are clear.y marked "No trespassing." They obviously had some kind of a haunted house down in these spooky ole woods as there are all types of ghoulish remnants down here. # 4 is a hyser down the path to a basket which was set in standing water. # 5 is a hyser up and around the wooded area. Someone # 6 plays to one of the two baskets up on the lawn. Then # 7 plays to the basket which sits behind the little shed. # 8 then routes you on an impossible anhyser to the basket back on the lawn. And then # 9 plays across the field to the basket back where you started ions ago.

I might be the first human to set foot on this haloed ground since Clinton was president. There doesn't appear to be wide spread interest in TSTCPDGC.

There might be a few Cons.

Crummy little tee pads which are hard to locate.

No signage.

On-line map is difficult.

Design is pretty basic.

Wet areas in the woods.

Dismembered body parts left over from Halloween.

Ghouls and zombies wandering the woods after dark.

I believe TSTCODGC is a sinking ship. I can't imagine ever playing here. There is no evidence of any recent play. It's a little bit eerie being down in the woods around all the Halloween ghoulishness. I don't think I would like to be trying to finish up a round as darkness falls. Some dude might come out of woods with a chain saw. That might be an idea for a movie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt called the The Salford Township Community Park Disc Golf Chainsaw Murders.

Do you know what I love about Jennifer Love Hewitt?

Answer: Her hewitts.

-Playground nearby for kids
-If you have a map it's not terribly hard to figure out
Map can be found at... https://www.pdga.com/files/co...rd_PA_Map.jpg
-Baskets are numbered
-Small variety of shots w/ doglegs and trees and whatnot

-Tees are absolutely awful. Two small rubber pads, most now are overgrown and barely noticeable.
-Tees aren't numbered and have no signage, so it's hard to know where you're throwing or how far it is
-Fairways are gravel for the most part, so it's a good way to scratch up your discs
-Very confusing without a map, starting at hole 1...couldn't even find the tee
-tried to putt hole 1 and the disc went straight through the chains and bounced off the pole. The chains were so old and rusted that they didn't do any catching of the disc
-overgrown in spots that made shooting the hole correctly difficult to impossible

All in all it was a dissappointing. Spent time walking around to figure out where the tees were and the course started before I finally looked it up online. The little box kiosk before the playground had nothing but old worn out papers, nothing to help you figure the course out. I could tell it hadn't been properly maintained in awhile, except mowed maybe. Could be fun if they could get better tees and have signs and cut down the overgrowth.

It has baskets? The park somehow packs a sizeable 2000 foot length course in a very small footprint. The course is flat terrain, about four open grass holes bookending roughly five forested ones in the middle. The open part takes place on a 360' long x 200' wide field with a small mound in the middle. Field practice is possible but obscured by this.

Across the street from the Post Office / Playground is the Salford Township Openspace with a basketball court and newly erected calisthenics park that looks much more welcoming.

+It's completely empty most days. In 5+ trips, I've never seen another DG player, perhaps a single park patron twice, once with kids.
+Old DGA baskets in good condition, correct #s on poles
+#3 was my favorite hole. Open drive going into forest via path.

There's nothing to recommend driving to this place. It's a complete dud in both execution and upkeep in an area surrounded with better opportunities. Go elsewhere. Beginners should try Branchwood, Plains Park, or Upper Salford Park instead. I never left this park actually glad I played a round here.

My annual visit is to laugh at bad halloween props and out of morbid curiosity. Sadly, it has been all downhill since it opened in 2004 as an Eagle Scout project. Old pictures here show calisthenics equipment and a walking bridge, but that's all gone. I'm surprised the baskets are still there. Even the playground looks sad, with old sunbleached papers and dead wasps in the bulletin board greeting people.

The main purpose of this place is a Halloween hayride. Props and sheds are languishing in the woods year round, until replaced by other ghoulish upgrades for the next hayride season. Everything else about this course just screams neglect. Trees had huge 'NO TRESSPASSING' signs that kept me off half of the course years ago, until I realized it was simply meant as additional spookfactor.

---Wet and swampy. The forest is going into bush overgrowth near the edges and there's a lot of swampy areas exactly where discs want to land. Best to play in cold but dry winter.
---There are also no course maps nor tee signs onsite and enough parts are non-intuitive. Look at the online map under "Links/Files" tab.
--The tees are two square rubber tiles per hole but many are MIA or overgrown bushes. You probably won't find them w/o a course map. Most holes start within a dozen feet from the previous basket, so just pick a tee-off spot.
--Trajectories in the forest are a major problem. At best, too tight for a beginner course to fully unrealistic 'S' curves on a 6' wide trail on #6. #7 is just a dumb, impossible 105 degree dog-leg for this skill level.
--Another problem is that forest "fairways" actually are just the walking paths. Stupid and unsafe for regular patrons, if there were any.

Terrain Potential: Xx - Passable. Small patch of land, half open, half forest.
Actual Execution: Xx - Passable. Barely. Super tight fairways. Tight gaps. No signs/map.
Upkeep: x - Bad. It gets mowed, that's about it. Tees go missing, myriad of issues never fixed.
Difficulty: XXX - Intermediate. Difficult through it's own flaws.
Fun Factor: x - Bad. The only fun here is looking at Halloween gags in June.
Overall: x - Bad. A short lesson on what course should not be like.

Amenities: Portapotty by playground shed. Old review talk about disc rental at front building?

Course Layout: RHBH POV. About 2000' length. #1-6 go in a overall counter-clockwise loop with #3 being an open drive before entering the woods. #4 & 5 follow forest path. #6 is forest tee-off with the basket back in open again. End loop. #7-8-9 is a smaller clockwise loop inside that. #7 enters forest near bushes straight on before doglegging right towards the barn hidden in forest. #9 is open and the drive goes over the mound.

Note: When teeing off for #3, you might mistake #8 basket in the field as the goal, but the hole goes into the woods behind it, on the right-handed path.

I was unsure if this course still exsisted seeing no one has reviewed this in over 3 years. So I figured I would write a quick review. Its a ok course 1 time around in hopes you don't lose a disc.

I was unable to find the 1st, and 4th tee pad. The 7th and 9th tee pad are super hard to find because they are under overgrown grass.

The first and second hole gives the impression that this will be a super easy course, but once you move into the woods its everyman for themselves.

9 baskets in decent shape.

Some woods holes, a few open holes, and a few ace runs

Porto Potty available.

ridiculous tee pads. 2 small squares totaling about 1.5'x3'. One tee pad was buried in high grass.

Random posts with numbers that have nothing to do with the course.

No signage or navigational aids.

Course seems like it would be fun when all of the halloween decorations are out. There are lots of buildingson the course and remains of old halloween decorations scattered through out the course.

Salford Township Community Park is easily accessible from the major transportation routes in the area, most notably, PA-309 and PA-563. The baskets at the park are in great shape. Additionally, the open area of the park is maintained very well. There is a fairly even split between open and wooded holes and a few doglegs as well.

SAFETY! As often happens in these community parks, a disc golf course is a nice perk that just adds to the amenities of a park. Unfortunately, little thought goes into the logistics of the game and fairways are situated far too close to or directly on walking paths, frequently-used park features, or playgrounds.

Zero signage. While the course is extremely short and the baskets are easy to spot, the 1' x 2' tees (consisting of two 12" pavers) were difficult to locate. Moreover, there are no distances published (called the township and they're not sure either) so all your throws are calculated guesses.

The layout of hole 7 made very little sense and didn't really have any type of throwing lane. The course was almost completely flat with no real elevation change on any hole.

Additionally, the wooded holes were cluttered with junk, trash, and what appeared to be Halloween buildings from years past, taking the overall experience down a peg.

Make sure that you have your expectations set before you play this course. For the serious disc golfer, this course is not a destination play and will leave you squarely disappointed. If you're a senior, someone playing DG for the first time, or a child, then this course will give you enough of an introduction to work on the basics before trying a more well rounded and professional course in the area.

Its Free, Nice baskets, wide open as not many people play it, some woods, some open shots...overall average 9 hole municipal course

Poorly marked holes & tees, definately print the map as the baskets and tees aren't marked at all. Small tees (2 12x12 tiles) and some tees are overgrown or loose

The assn or some regular players should help fix/improved the tees

9 holes with baskets in good shape, probably best aspect of course

Tees and baskets not marked; tees are like two shingles laid down in grass, not hard to find but hard to throw off of. Hill could have been utilized. Holes in woods tight and hard with growth. No trespassing signs are up for some reason, oh well.

Only played because I was in the area. I wouldn't recommend it even if you could walk there.

Short course with some interesting shot variety. Right turning, left turning, S-shaped and straight away fairways. About half open, half wooded holes, little bit of elevation change, but nothing dramatic. A variety of different drives was required.
Park was quiet and pleasant to be in.

Teepads are smallest I have played yet. Assembled from 2 tiles, they were hard to find and not very fun to throw from. I'm wondering why the time an bit more expense wasn't taken to expand them to say, 6 tiles? Tees are unmarked which added to the difficulty navigating the course. Without a map I would have been lost.
Basket 8 is right there on the edge of 3's fairway and at first glance (and after the first 2 short open holes) seems the likely target, which added to the confusion.
My biggest gripe was the wooded holes simply used walking trails as fairways. One of my least favorite things to see/play. Not much course design.

The courses saving grace had really nothing to do with the course. It seems the wooded part was used for a Haunted Woods this past fall and the remnants are still on the walking trails used for the course (as of January 2010) Large strangely painted displays with fake blood and gory mannequins scattered about. The best was a large 8ft wooden cube that had 666 painted on the sides and an open door facing, yes, hole 6's tee. Placed just off the fairway, it seemed a likely place to throw a wayward drive. The whole thing gave me a Weird Pennsylvania vibe and kept me at the course for a 2nd round. I kinda want to go back with my camera..
Salford is just off 476 and can be played as part of a 5 course string of 9 holers going up and down 476. Unami Creek to the North and Branchwood right nearby are both a lot of fun to play.

Short, compact course. Good for a quick play, or someone learning the sport.

ohhh boy. The course is so short, me and a few other guys go play every sunday morning before church. with ten of us, it only takes about an hour. The holes are confusing for first timers or someone who would drive in looking to play. It is not something that is recommended for someone who can throw over 300 because the longest hole is about 290. Discs are not hard to find, so losing one is rare. If you do happen to lose one, let me know, im there at least once a week.

This course is fun, and can be played forward and backward (once learned). There used to be maps in the office building in the parking lot, but i dont think there are any more. I would play this course any way you like. see a hole and throw to it. its a great way to have fun, learn to throw a different way, or even teach someone the game.

There is decent variety here in 9 holes. There are open shots, doglegs, woods, etc., so something to please people in that respect. This is about where the pros end for me.

Navigation is tough here. Even with a map I was confused. The tee pads are tiny - so tiny that you can barely find them. There are no signs and the baskets are not numbered.

After the first three holes the course goes into the woods and plays along a walking path. Yes, gravel is your fairway. There are poles in the woods with numbers on them, which I thought would correspond to tee pads, but I didn't see any pads and it didn't look like there should be a pad there according to the map... so, I wandered around for a while looking for tee pads and baskets. Not sure if I played the course really or not.

The open holes play around athletic equipment (pull up bars, sit up benches, balance beams, etc). I never see anyone using these anywhere, but if someone did want to use them, they would be smack in the way of baskets and tee pads.

Things were over grown. There was no elevation, no water, no risk/reward, no memorable holes.

This may be the worst disc golf course I have ever played. It sounds harsh, but I think this one takes that "award." Navigation was a joke, other park equipment was in the middle of the course, and going through the woods felt like a haunted trail (maybe they use the trail for that during October, who knows). Short, unchallenging holes did not help this course.

Map and rental disc available at community center door over from the post office. For nine holes it has some variety.

Tee are hard to notice and not numbered.
Baskets are not numbered.
Woods holes play along walking paths and are never narrow.

I wandered for a second on this one and then remember to check for the map. Once I had the map it was extremely easy to figure the course out as it isn't very large. The tees where just two 12x12 patio pavers with no numbers and hard to spot in the grass.(map helped alot) I the field you can't get lost, once you get into the woods you just follow along the walking trail, however I felt like I was walking onto someones property as you play around a barn and other random objects in the woods. The path are narrow so you have to kinda play short and technical on these holes. Numbered tee and baskets would make this some much easy to follow with out the map and some navigation arrows on the holes them selves wouldn't hurt as a couple have a dog leg in them. Nothing special here but if it's all you got it's better then nothing, and could be extremely beginner friend for showing new people the sport.

9 nice baskets. Offers both open and wooded holes. It's short, so a round can be done fairly quickly if you're short on time. A play structure for the young kids is right next door.

It's perfect for introducing kids and new players to disc golf.

There are so many, where do I begin? That was my first problem with the course, I had no idea where the first tee/basket was. I didn't find a map/scorecard/directory any where. I just threw towards one basket on the other side of the park, and stumbled upon what had to be a tee pad.

Incidentally, the tee pads are tiny, but you really don't even need them, the holes are so short. Both the tee pads and baskets are unmarked, so navigation is a guess at best. I had no idea if I was playing the course in the proper order and to the correct baskets. Sometimes I was throwing with the long side of the tee pad, and sometimes with the short side. Not sure if this was correct or not.

Very few parking spaces at the post office.

I felt like this was a course I could build in my own backyard. This is a very small neighborhood park. There are no signs in the park indicating this is a disc golf course, so I imagine residents have no idea what it is, so probably, none of them use it.

A little improvement could go a long way. At a minimum, the tee pads and baskets need to be identified so you know where you are going.

I'm giving this course a rating of 1, even though it probably deservers lower, because I know a lot of effort, time and hard work had to go into getting this course installed.

The Baskets are nice. No traffic. Great course if you are trying to introduce your toddler to the sport. Perfect course for an elf, a gnome, or perhaps someone trying to get their first ace.

Short, I mean ridiculously short! Flat and uninteresting as far as disc golf goes. The holes are between 80 and 150 feet perhaps. Think of it as 9 putting greens clumsilly layed out in a park that gets little to no use. Despite its tiny size it is hard to navigate as their is no signage. Course seems to begin and end at the little brown bridge. Just look for little asphalt Shingles on the ground...these are tees! (perhaps 12" x 24" yeah inches) The tees point in the direction of the baskets....usually. Once in the woods I think the course plays along the gravel haunted trail. Yeah it's a haunted hayride trail and they don't ever bother cleaning up the weird stuff out there. I found a Jason Mask in one basket in January. In summer, dont be alarmed by seeing blood and gore everywhere!

I have nothing against the kid who was able to get a course built.I realize the course was an Eagle Scout Project, but the money the township spent on the baskets is such a waste. Truly a shame that with all the local clubs craving baskets that there are nice baskets just going to waste in this substandard never used park!

This course has some variety and is located in a quiet community. Rarely will you see others on the course. The baskets are nice. The course once figured out is not bad

Didn't know about scorecards or maps being available. It took some time to figure out the layout. The tee pads are small.

This a typical 9 hole course. Nothing too exciting nothing too terrible about it.

Half open and half wooded.

Holes and tees aren't marked and I don't know of any course maps being available. There are two 2' x 2' rubber squares that serve as tees, but you can only guess if you're going for the right pin.

Pretty short course - wouldn't be bad if they marked the tees and holes.
