2022 Toboggan availability
Baskets were just installed, and course is freshly mowed. Course will be closed to casual play for the following events:
Thu, Jun 9 - Sun, Jun 12th: USADGC
Thu Jun 28 - Sun Jul 31st: DGPT DGLO
Thu, Sep 29- Sun, Oct 2: Oakland County Championship.
I have it on very good authority that course will be open from Jun 13 - Jul 27, and again from Oct 3rd - 31st.
Honestly don't know if baskets will remain in the ground for Aug or Sep (i.e between DGLO and Oakland county Championship).
If you're thinking about taking a road trip to play this epic course, I highly recommend Oct. It's simply much more enjoyable when the sun doesn't join the course in kicking your @$$.
Pretty sure the park charges $5/person to play Toboggan.
Other area courses I'd recommend:
Same park:
Kensington Black Locust - Blue
Kensington Black Locust - Green. Metro parks charge $10 per car entry fee. $40 annual pass pays for itself after just a few visits if you plan to spend 4+ days in the area.
