Mill Rd
It's a sad tale. We were headed down the path of getting an 18 hole course at Mill Rd Park (across from the Tredyffrin Township Building), but then that was stalled indefinately. To give you a flavor of what it could be, here's the last map we made of a possible layout.
(For a higher quality .pdf, click here).
It actually plays pretty well as an "object course" (i.e. play for the trees and bushes as holes - the old fashioned way). But of course it would be better with baskets and tees. The amazing thing about it, is that nothing needs to be cut or cleared for this layout - it uses the existing mowed areas of the park. This particular layout has 2 tee placements for each hole, regular and long. The big open field slopes down to the north, the wooded area slopes down to the south.
Although happy with the Wilson 4-hole, we all know it's not a "full course". It's great for practice, and for introducing people to disc golf, and it's lots closer than any other courses to some of us - but beyond that, it pales next to other courses and just doesn't draw the excitement, challenge, or competition of a full (and longer) 18.
We haven't given up, but we need help. The way things get attention in any community, is by people stepping up and voicing their interest. This really applies to people that live & work in Tredyffrin Township. If you like the Wilson course and would like a full course nearby:
- Contact the township (see the Links page) and let them know
- Contact you township supervisor and let them know
- Contact us, and let us know what you've done and if you'd like to help
If we get enough interest, we could possibly make this happen.
