The High Country DGC @ Ashe Co. 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 12, 13th!!.
Course Established: 2006 Designed by. Harold Duvall and friends Built by. Todd and Wendy Patoprsty, Daniel Quin, Team Innova, Todd Lion, the Ashe Co.Parks and Rec. staff, and a few others here and there.
It just might become one of the best courses in the world? Nestled on the backside of Phoenix Mountain in the beautiful and senic 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 with hills and thills, nice views, water hazards and other OB's.
They're are actually 20 holes, and a practice basket. 18+ holes w/ Pro and Amauteur tee areas (natural & rubber) *concrete is in the master plan.
Total par ranges from 57 to 60+ (all depending on the basket positions)
Distances........
Hole 1 Par 3 Pro > 402 ft. Am > 204 ft.
Hole 2 Par 3 Pro > 363 ft. Am > 267 ft.
Hole 3 Par 3 Pro > 414 ft. Am > 222 ft.
Hole 4 Par 3 Pro > 342 ft. Am > 297 ft.
Hole 5 Par 3 Pro > 324 ft. Am > 249 ft.
Hole 6 Par 3 Pro > 258 ft. Am > 171 ft.
Hole 7 Par 3 Pro > 346 ft. Am > 252 ft.
Hole 8 Par 4 Pro > 443 ft. Am > 381 ft.
Hole 9 Par 4 Pro > 660 ft. Am > 555 ft.
Hole 10 Par 3 Pro > 235 ft. Am > 184 ft.
Hole 11 Par 4 Pro > 470 ft. Am > 268 ft.
Hole 12 Par 3 Pro > 380 ft. Am > 270 ft.
Hole 13 Par 3 Pro > 300 ft. Am > 207 ft.
Hole 14 Par 4 Pro > 405 ft. Am > 265 ft.
Hole 15 Par 3 Pro > 324 ft. Am > 180 ft.
Hole 16 Par 3 Pro > 262 ft. Am > 164 ft.
Hole 17 Par 3 Pro > 230 ft. Am > 153 ft.
Hole 18 Par 4 Pro > 818 ft. Am > 604 ft.
We also have alternative hole's 8 and 9 (the none mtn. climb or short loop version), and several alternative basket positions that might make play at Ashe Park a little more FUN, yet confusing.
Note: This is a new course and will need time to have all the luxerious (concrete tee pads, benches, nice tee signs, etc.), So be patient or get out there and do something!
Signs should make it easy to find your way around and we should have scorecards and maps out soon this summer.

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.
