It had almost been a year since we had played the Cooper’s Hawk Disc Golf course in Campbell River so when our bike group from the Comox Valley was heading that way we decided to have a bike and disc golf day. Monday Sept 13th was sunny and warm with light winds so it was a perfect day for either biking or disc golfing. The course is located at Willow Point Park and 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!

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 (see photo below). 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. We recommend taking a photo of the map with your phone since there are some gaps between holes. Be sure to check it out.
