Description

Short, fun course lining the neighborhood greenbelt and creek. Jogging path as OB on many fairways adds challenge. Elevated basket on #3 and #16. Great course for beginners and families, or for anyone wanting to work on their short game. Established as a 9-hole course in 1996, expanded to 18 holes in 2012, then redesigned in 2016.

It’s worth noting that the Wells Branch disc golf course is wedged in the middle of tons of industry. The course used to be a 9-hole course. Sometime since its 1996 establishment, 9 more baskets were added.
