The Cooper's Hawk Disc Golf Course in Campbell River is a treat

 By Keith and Heather Nicol
     With the fall weather cooperating on Tuesday, October 20 we decided to head to Campbell River to try out their disc golf course at Willow Point Park. This location is a hot bed for different sports and next to the parking lot we saw people taking on the jumps on the new bike park and skateboarders trying their tricks in the adjacent skate park.  There are also outdoor volleyball courts, an indoor sportsplex, tennis courts and playing fields. As well as an 18 plus hole disc golf course!

 

                                                Heather have a look at the map to check the course layout   

This course is nicely laid out and we really liked the combination of open and forested holes. We don`t have many open holes on the courses we have played in the Comox Valley so this is a pleasant change.   It also has 3 possible concrete tee off pads for many holes so better players can really be challenged. . The longest hole off the red tees is 303 feet and the shortest hole is 154 feet but these get a whole lot longer off the gold tees. There is some elevation change which is nice and there is a good map to start so that you can see the general layout And with the fall colours the course is very scenic right now.  Be sure to check it out.

                                                We liked the contrast between the forested and open holes
