Beaver Island State Park Disc Golf Course

My absolute favorite disc golf course! Yeah, you have to pay the toll to get on the Island, and yeah, depending on the time of year and day you might have to pay to get into Beaver Island State Park, but it’s always worth it. The disc course is so well maintained and laid out that it requires no thought or hassle. They even have tournaments held here. The only negative thing about it is you might have to wait at baskets because the course is so crowded!
Actually, another negative thing, but it’s not directly related to the course itself. Disc golfers, do be wary of the park staff. They’re pretty negative and nasty to disc golfers. Don’t do anything to antagonize them, regardless of how innocent an action might seem. Like climbing a tree to get your disc that got stuck in the branches. I watched a group get kicked out of the park for that. I get it – it’s a safety thing. No sense in risking breaking your neck for a $ 15 disc. But the group didn’t need to get kicked out for it. My husband and I have also been harassed at the pay booth to get into the park. It was totally uncalled for, and the guy was doing it because he knew we were there for disc golf. For such a nice disc golf park with so much money sunk into it, the Beaver Island crew can be pretty big dicks to the disc masses who bring in a nice chunk of money.
But for those days when you don’t run into a single park staff member, it’s a total blast!

18 baskets with a nice variety of fairways. Some are wide open, and some have lots of trees. The first few holes have dramatic elevation changes. And there is a fair amount of water nearby. Tough to see a couple of the baskets since they are blind approaches.
Bear right after entering the park and park across from the house that is now the park office. The 1^st tee is at the top of the hill.
