About This Course

Spearfish Canyon Disc Golf Course offers a scenic mountain experience at the mouth of beautiful Spearfish Canyon with 27 challenging holes designed by Don Altmyer. While the course features excellent terrain variety including a signature 80ft vertical drop on Hole #27, condition concerns regarding weathered signage and navigation issues detract from the overall experience. Best suited for players seeking a workout in stunning natural surroundings rather than pristine playing conditions.

Who Should Play Here?

Beginner Playable

Beginners may find this course challenging due to hilly terrain and moderate wooded areas, but short average hole distances (208-349ft) provide manageable options. The vertical drop on Hole #27 is more of a fun challenge than a scoring threat for new players.

Bring plenty of water as this course requires good cardio fitness
Watch for wildlife including deer, raccoons, and occasionally mountain lions near Hole #10
Navigation can become difficult towards the end of the course

Intermediate Recommended

Intermediate players will appreciate the strategic variety with multiple pin positions on most holes and the challenging elevation changes. Course management is key due to weathered signage and navigation challenges.

Utilize the 27 position putting basket for practice
Take advantage of hanging baskets on holes #6, #12, #15, #25 for varied shot angles
Expect average scores around 87-88 based on recorded rounds

Advanced Playable

Advanced players will find the mountain terrain and elevation changes provide a unique challenge, though course condition issues may impact playability. The signature Hole #27 offers an exciting test of accuracy and distance control.
