Ancient Oaks Disc Golf

Parking is on the side of the road. This place is unique and beautiful. The framework has been laid to make a course that is really special. Many of the holes play along the Oyster River. A spectacular backdrop for disc golf. Lots of elevation change. Tee boxes on some holes. Baskets are brand new. I had a fantastic time. It must be mentioned that the course is very difficult to traverse. Not recommend for anyone with movement difficulty. Many of the holes are still in progress. I look forward to playing again when more progress has been made on this labor of love.

this is a hidden gem. For those new to the kourse like i was, here's a breakdown of what to expect: PROS: - sweet views: right on the oyster river, several holes play out to spots with a view of the river. - shot variety: good mix of shorter holes and longer par 4's. I threw a handful of forehands, anni backhands, and hyzer shots off the pads - free to play: normally this would scare me because I wouldn't expect the kourse to be kept up well being free, but this kourse was in fantastic shape - great signage: while finding where to park wasn't the easiest, the kourse itself is extremely well marked, even having signs pointing out poison ivy to avoid - Par difficulty: i like to think of myself as a pretty decent player and I found the pars to be quite realistic. CONS: - tee pads: they're sturdy, but a bit short for my liking. Given, i like to take longer run ups than some people - kourse layout: there are a couple holes (i think around 10-13) where u have to walk up and down the same hill like 4 times to play 2 or 3 holes) I personally didn't mind it, but some might. If you're a beginner, be wary - if you go off the fairway, you have some steep embankments to venture down to retrieve your disc. Regulars or advanced players should have no trouble, but this mite not be the greatest kourse for someone new to the game, though I do think you would enjoy it as long as you go in with the right mindset. It is a hike to play, but well worth it. If I'm ever in the area again, it's definitely a must-play again.

Great course and although it is still being worked on you can see the effort and the beauty of the design. I would most certainly play this course again and hats off to the designer!

Great use of the land. Good variety of shots. A bit treacherous in adverse weather conditions. Love to check out again in summer.

So beautiful!! As midwesterners traveling thru, it was a lovely way to hike the Maine woods in autumn. Udisc says dirt tees, but there are nice wood platforms. Plus, artistic signs, fun footbridges, even a ladder for retrieving errant discs in a ravine (which we needed).

Basically a nature hike with baskets. Very pretty and well maintained, but easy to lose discs and could be dangerous in the rain!

Great labor of love type course! Challenging and lots of variety, beautiful lines and overall a strong layout. Easy to lose a disc and a little tough to navigate without UDisc. Little bit of barbwire on left side gateway on hole 8

A bit hard to find (there’s no building or anything to go to just a small bridge in the woods on the side of the road that’s easy to miss, no sign). Some hard to walk on paths and handmade bridges over big gaps that feel unstable and rickety. Just fixing the bridges to be solid as rocks would make this course immensely more enjoyable but it’s still pretty enjoyable at that. Holes are fun even if some feel made for you to lose your disc forever, the scenery is gorgeous, and they are still working on the course, so it’s only going to improve from here on out. For a free course, you can’t really go wrong, as long as you can walk through tough terrain as the course makes a good hike. I’ve played much worse courses that you have to pay for.

Fantastic property, wooded with lots of elevation change. Playing along the River is beautiful. Course can be physically demanding. Owner is constantly improving the course and I’m excited to see where it goes.

Beautiful little course on the river. Great stop. Only going to get better.

Tremendous elevation changes on a fantastic plot of land! Great Risk vs Reward on almost every hole; on many holes if you go off the fairway you can get into serious trouble. The green of hole 5 with the Oyster River in the background is magnificent!

Challenging with elevation changes and some gnarly slippery footing here and there but really fun and will be extra great when expanded to full 18. Could use some additional signage in places for clarity.

Nice little property. The signs are nice but there still more work to be done regarding safety (and maybe longer tee pads?)

Keep it up Rob! This place is going to be incredible. Already an amazingly fun little course. Highly recommended

First time playing here, very cool course. Short, hilly, and technical. Good variation of holes. I’ll be back!

Very interested in where this course goes. Pretty fun layout with a lot of technical spots. Definitely needs some better signage and work on the fairways; some areas are challenging to traverse and sketchy.

Tough walk but great layout, hilly, scenic. Good job on bridges and marking for new players. Will be back

Amazing course. Tee pads are a little scary

Pretty narrow fairway, steep drop offs and quite muddy on some holes

A work in progress. I would not recommend for beginners or even novice. Potential for injuries are high and losing discs. For experienced players definitely a must!
