About the course
Boone’s Cave features a heavily wooded 18-hole disc golf course with a par of 57. Known for its dense forest setting and elevation changes, the course offers a mix of shorter holes, alongside a few moderate-distance fairways that let players open up their throws. Built across moderately hilly terrain, the layout follows a broad dirt walking path, providing both a fun round and a scenic hike. Open to all during park hours, it’s a course where players of any skill level can test their control, creativity, and endurance. Beginners will find the course scoreable but with challenges. While, more advanced players or find it filled with ace runs, and a great place to work on approach shots.
History
The property known as Boone’s Cave Park in the Churchland community of Davidson County, North Carolina, has a rich mix of legend and frontier history. Located along the Yadkin River, it was purchased as park land in 1909 to preserve a site long associated with the pioneer Daniel Boone and his family.  According to local lore, the young Boone and his family may have taken shelter in the cave on this tract in the early 1750s shortly after arriving in the Yadkin Valley. Land records show that the area was known as the “Boone Tract” by the 1820s, and later deeds in the mid-1800s refer to “Boone’s Ford” and “Boone’s Cave,” which suggests the names had become attached to the place by then, though a direct tie to Boone’s actual stay remains unproven.  Today the 110-acre site includes historic trails, picnic areas, and the cave deep in the forested Piedmont—inviting visitors to walk in the footsteps of legend and history. The course itself was built and designed by Davidson County parks and rec.
