The Findley State Park course in Wellington, Ohio now provides a very challenging re-designed 18 hole disc golf course 25 minutes west of Medina and 25 minutes east of Norwalk. The new and improved layout (2018/2019) by local players is now the type of course when you finish playing 18, you're going to want to play 18 more to get a few strokes back. Timewise, it takes about 75 minutes with a two-some and about 2 hours for a four-some. The newly positioned holes are strewn about many species of ...

A lot of time and work have been put into this gem of a course since the last time I was out here about 3 years ago. Concrete tees have been added, lines have been established, and signage has been put in. All three of these were truly lacking during my first trek through this course. I could really tell the amount of effort and energy that went into making these changes, and props to Adam and the local crew for their triumph. The course has a great mix of shots, with the majority of holes b ...

New in 2017, more subtle updates ongoing, now essentially 2 separate (but overlapping) courses. The Original (Red) has a lot of birdie opportunities but some trouble if you don't hit your lines. 18 holes (or 20 with bonus trek down to the island!). The Lost Island Course (Blue) is more about survival, with some tighter lines and more advanced shots preferred. 18 hole par 61. Thoughtfully designed and constantly maintained courses will provide fun and challenges, the rough is now super easy t ...

An absolutely outstanding course. I wouldn't have rated it this highly two years ago, but the work they have put in to make this a challenging course. A wide variety of throws are needed... some let you open up and others are far more technical. Camping available on site, so make a vacation of it and play some great disc golf.

This course never stops improving! If you only play once every few months I guarantee every time you play it will be improved in some way each time. The dude crew out here lives and breathes this course and it shows. This is a treasure to so many of us, this place truly heals the soul! Favorite course in the world!

This course is easily Top 5 (if not the best) course in Ohio! What makes this course so awesome is the mix of technicality in the woods, while still utilizing fair sized fairways and distance.

What really separates this course from the others is the people that take care of it. I regularly go to this course, and I am still amazed that after 2 years, something new will be cleaned or added to almost every other week! This course is consistently been becoming better and better.

If you played this course over 2 years ago, you didn't even play this course.

DEFINITELY A MUST PLAY.

This was one my first courses ever played about 7 years ago. I used to frequent it often but there was a lull where it was getting over grown and lacked re-playable fun. Last year (2017) there were new developments that slowly brought it around, but just played again today for the first time in almost 7 months and damn this course is awesome again. The 2 different layouts make it feel like 2 separate courses. The grounds and fairways are a total night and day difference, the new added holes for ...

Findley State Park now has 18 holes with the original front nine completely revamped. The front nine is much longer and alot more difficult now. Altogether a much different flow and feel to the course. Concrete pads, tee signs and permanent basket placements are all in. Also the Lightning DB-5 baskets have been switched and dimensions are correct. The place is really starting to break in nicely and will only get better with more play. So get out here and throw!

Relaxing, quiet, place to play. Very technical, heavily wooded course. More people should come and check out this hidden gem. Relatively new, already has concrete tee pads, benches. If you like Parma, Punderson, Portage Lakes or Massillon, you won't be disappointed.

2019 update: sooooooooooo much work has been done and oh my!!! what. ahoy to play. red short course is what i played when I first came here 2 years ago. the real crown jewel to this place is the lost island course. it is long, challenging, makes you think about placement. it is by far and large the best kept secret that I am willing to tell you. bill, matt, shawn, and shawn jr, and the rest of the crew have made this an outstanding place to play. I cannot recommend this place enough! ...

Lost island disc golf course has become a truly awesome course! The guys have added new baskets and a few new holes that keep the flow of fun going from start to finish. Also there's a pitch and putt course that's back by the campground that is awesome as well. I don't know if that's a secret or not but I found it and it really helped my game!

Excellent course with elevation, water, and mature trees. Good navigation, but could benefit from a new orientatation sign/map in the parking lot. We were the only people at the course all morning. Free parking. Drinking fountain and restrooms. Very muddy round. Highly recommend.

Played both layouts in 2 winters and now 1 time Lost Island in the summer. Kudos to Mr. Vaughn and the rest of the gang really turning this into a destination course. To me it feels like a cross between Punderson and Portage Lakes. Long and very wooded. Good use of slopes and elevation. There's even a few terrain variances that show up for interest. I was surprised how playable it was in the summer - not too overgrown to enjoy, which would be easy to say about several of the good state par ...

I've only played this course once (June this year) and loved the place. Definitely coming back. I understand the course has changed a lot in the last year or so; hopefully those changes will continue. The holes are not overly long but can be technical. There seem to be a fair amount of left to right shots here so lefties and folks that throw good forehands should be comfortable. I can't do either but can throw decent anhyzers so it didn't bother me in the least. Personally,I love the way it sets ...

a B for now give it time to get broken in an some dead wood to fall an this course could quickly become an A ,over all well done not to long but not a pitch an put either, lots to challenge all plays this is a hard course if you dont like trees,as there are trees on all but 2 holes ,with that said the play still seamed pretty well fair from both sides (left or right) so have fun an may your disc fly true.

The course is a ways out there and there isn't much close to get a bite to eat so pack a lunch. It felt like a cross between Punderson and Portage lakes for those that have played both. It was pretty flat so I didn't get too worn out playing and it has tons of shade for hot sunny days. Some fairways are pretty tight with trees throughout. The layout feels well planned and concrete tees are nice. You have to be on top your game to score low. Very nice place to play.

The Lost Island 18 is best course in NE Ohio. Combination of par 3, 4, & 5s. Fair fairways. If you find yourself in the rough you should be able to get back to the fairway. For beginners or for a fun round the original 18 is available with shorter but technical shots. This course is well worth the drive & the locals are always putting in a ton of hours making it enjoyable. Don't let the "bridge" pin placement on hole 5 get to you there's still plenty of amazing shots & views of the lake as you continue through. I always look forward to making the trip to Wellington to play this gem!

My favorite course in Ohio and my favorite course so far. A great variety of wooded shots and longer open holes, par fours on the back 9 are super fun. Lines are technical but also always fair. It was maintained great, the long baskets are very high quality and the community of people I met that maintained the course were top notch. Everyone should make the trip up here

The best type of woods course: gap city with minimal underbrush. New layout 2018 is something to see. Had the fortune to pick up with Matt and Sean, these dudes are putting in work on this course, Matt does the carvings, Sean chops down trees with his drives. They built a bench on 18 before noon on a Wednesday. Mad props. If you like trying new lines, play this course. The only reason I give it an A- is because they told me they still had work to do.

Challenging and very technical. The new par 4s are a great addition to the course. The trails from one hole to the next with wood chips are great. A little muddy at times but a great course overall. The new prodigy baskets are easy to see and reward great putts. The addition of the new baskets created 2 different layouts for all skill levels to fully enjoy a day of golf. Great lines to hit but the LIDGC is definitely a scoreable course if you hit those lines.

An incredible amount of work has been done on this course in the last six months. It now offers two different courses to play, with a few holes overlapping both courses. Both are pretty heavily wooded except for a few holes. The Red 18 is the shorter course. The new Lost Island Course (the blues) has greater distance and definitely has some challenging routes. The two courses are easily distinguished from each other. There are clear maps of both courses at the kiosk off of the parking lot. Th ...

Course has undergone a great transformation the last couple years. Two overlapping courses give all skill levels a challenge of some sort. Open shots, tunnels, lefts, rights, and elevation all highlight this course. Can be swampy in the spring but they’ve done a good job with pallet bridges and mulch to limit trenchfoot. Also some wood carvings which detail the course nicely. You can tell they’ve put in a ton of work and continue to do so. I’m really thankful this course isn’t too far from home as it’s become a gem of a place to play in NE Ohio!

Proud to call this my home course. Prodigy baskets. Fairways are clear. Challenges all skill levels with pretty much every shot. I haven't played but a few courses in Ohio, but this is the best flow in a course I've played. Park in the large parking lot and start and end the course at the same point. It even has grills and picnic tables on the sides of some fairways for grilling and watching some amazing flights thru the forest.

Mostly wooded holes with a few open holes as well. Very fun and quite challenging for any level. There are a few real opportunities to ace as well. Great elevation changes. There are a lot of downed trees and debris, but this is a State Park, and you kind of expect that. The signs were great in some areas, but it was a little difficult to find the next tee in other areas. You also have to watch for poison ivy. Overall, this course was very fun to play and definitely worth the trip! :)

Exceptional layout built by a good friend of mine! I’d recommend checking this course out to players of all skill levels. You can’t have a bad time on this course. You can shoot a higher score than intended but this place has the perfect balance of beginner, intermediate, and advanced holes. Just go play it!!

Played the original course as a rec player. One of the top courses in Ohio. Balance left and right. Fair fairways that a rec player can hope to get pretty far on without hitting a tree. Not quite long enough to get really interesting with landing zones.

What a great new course. The long holes are REALLY long. I'm not sure how the flow works with the blue and red courses being inside one another. Unfortunately I showed up while there was a tournament going on (sorry guys). But the course was in great shape! Will definitely be back for more golf here.

We camp at Findley State Park a few times a year, so this course is a welcome addition to my stays. Nestled along a decent sized parking lot just inside the main entrance, the course winds around the surrounding woods with only a few truly open holes. Short to medium in length, what it lacks in distance is made up for with honest wooded fairways. Aside from the last hole, I felt all of them offer good lines off the pad. The course is in good shape, not too much undergrowth, and only some minor c ...
