Forest Hills Park

It has baskets to throw at. That’s about it. The UDisc rating is being propped up by people that have reviewed the temp course. As for the permanent 9 holes, it’s pretty rough. Maybe good for putting and upshot practice but not a great place for an enjoyable round. No tee pads or signage. I’d avoid other than for putting or upshot practice. 2 full days of no rain and fairways are still swampy. And it’s a mixed use park and there was a cookout going on right by 9s basket at 3pm on a weekday

Forest Hill has potential, but it’s definitely a work in progress. There are no definitive tee signs aside from simple numbered markers — no hole maps or distance information. The course does have a basic metal frame setup to indicate hole placement, but beyond that, it’s pretty minimal. There are no concrete or turf tee pads; players are throwing directly from worn-down ground, which has taken a beating over time. Every hole I played had standing water or puddles throughout the fairways, so drainage is a serious issue here. Hole 3 showed some promise — it requires a low, skipping shot to navigate effectively — and overall, the layout hints that this property could support a solid course with the right improvements. There’s a ton of open space, and if the city or park owns more of the surrounding land, they could easily expand past Hole 6 and loop it back for a full 18-hole setup. I’d highly recommend installing either concrete or turf tee pads for consistency, along with updated tee signs that include the hole layout and distances. Those two upgrades alone could take this course from about a 2/5 to a solid 4/5. One last note — the drainage issue affects every fairway I played. Fixing that would likely cost more than expanding the course itself, but it’s something to be aware of before heading out.

Fine little 9 hole, great for going out with just 1 disc

Small but surprisingly challenging on a few holes

Not bad - 3.25 (if I could rate with quarter stars). Swampy fairways is the major drawback; but nice tossing plastic practice.

Lacking signage but UDisc helped. Tee pads were just spots on the ground some had a post marker.

If you are DESPERATE to play 9 holes on some Discatchers, go ahead. Otherwise, stay away. Swampy and smelly. Zero signage. Boring shots.

Very wet day after rain storm, grass tees, good for approach practice, otherwise very avg

Must have UDisc or a local to navigate. Virtually zero signage and no way finding out f any kind.

Great if the temp course is in, short 9 hole can be tough to play with the park being popular

@crduke

No tee pads, poor signage, and the layout is in an area with significant amounts of standing water. The Discatcher baskets are nice, but this course needs some work.

@mikelennett

Wet. Watch for puddles and mud. Short and open

@tavenc

Best course un durham, should be permanent

@pritch

Would love for this to be a permanent 18 hole course!!

Fun and fast 9 holes.

Little 9-hole course. Nothing super spectacular but cool if you’ve just got 30 minutes and wanna throw some plastic. The MKM temp course each year is a blast, definitely try to play it if you can.

I wish it was better, but just not very well thought out

Crowded with civilians but other than that great
