The High Country Disc Golf Course @ Ashe County Park, in Jefferson, NC.
Home of the wild and crazy High Country ICE BOWL and POLAR PLUNGE! Sat. Feb. 21, 2009!!! And, the "THROWDOWN", a sanctioned B-tier PDGA event, July 11,12th, 2009!!.
Course established May 2006
Designed by. Harold Duvall
Course promoted by. Todd Patoprsty
Built by. few
Special Thanks to Innova Disc Golf, Ashe Co.Parks and Rec. Dept., Joe Boccardy, Daniel Quin, Rita Privette, Wendy Patoprsty, Todd Lion, and all our sponsors and supporters!
It just might be or become one of the best courses in the world? Nestled on the backside of Phoenix Mountain in the beautiful and scenic Appalachian Mountains, the new Ashe Co. Park course is an extremely cool disc golf experience that offers a little bit of everything. It's both FUN and challenging for all skill levels with hills and thrills, nice views, water hazards and OB's.
The course offers both Pro (blue) and Amateur (white) TEE PADS on nearly every hole. Tee pads are concrete and/or platform rubber decks! Thanks to INNOVA!!!
Total Par from the Pro (blue) tees is 61
Total Par from the Amateur (white) tees is 59
*Course records posted at www.highcountrydiscgolf.com
They're are actually 20 holes (w/ alternative 8 and 9, "the short loop"), and a practice basket.
The course kiosk and directional signs/arrows should help you easily find your way a round. Scorecards can be printed out online at the HCDGC website, www.highcountrydiscgolf.com, or you might be Lucky enough to find one left in the mailbox at the course (please take only one).
Please refer to scorecard for distances and course layout/map!
**Note** There are two baskets on holes 8 and 17! Pro (blue) tees play to Carolina blue baskets, and Amateur (white) tees play to original yellow baskets. Also, there are no tee signs on the Pro (blue) tees, but there are some on the Amateur (white) tees.
Please remember that this course is still very much considered to be in the establishment period, so be respectful and understand that the rough is supposed to be rough. If you break or damage any living thing on the course, you will be prosecuted. Do your best to stay on the trails provided! Also, use a trash can, or pack it in pack it out! This includes cigarette butts! You should also be aware that this course is in a multi-use county park, so be extremely careful and conscious of other park users before throwing your discs!! If you hit someone, it will be your fault and your responsibility. Last thing, wear good shoes!!! This is a mountain course and the hike can be pretty strenuous and demanding.
BE SAFE and ENJOY THE ROUND!

If you get out before 12 give me a call 704-860-2081. I'll meet you out there if you don't mind. I have to work at 4 so the latest I can probably start is 1.
