Vermilion River Reservation

2/27/17: WARNING Took my dog and companion for walk here, brought frisbee for couple tosses and for dog's water. We were interrogated and frisked by park ranger who was convinced that we had "a can". We did not. He was suspicious of us and snooped because we were "off the path". Be very careful and mind your butt at any Lorain County Metro Park! Its not so much a course as 11 baskets dropped in ground. Sub recreational because of holes in direct conflict with other park activities, posted ...

Its not so much a course as 11 baskets dropped in ground. Sub recreational because of holes in direct conflict with other park activities, posted "par 2" holes, shared tee pads. Not a good experience for disc golfers nor other park users as is. But someone got this going with no disc golf experience and no help from the disc golf community. Kudos to them. They took the least interesting piece of land at their disposal and did the least with it from a disc golf perspective. Hopefully they change a few of the holes and add second tee pads for each and you could have a decent little family rec course there.

If you are traveling north, it's the second park on the left. From the south, it's the first park on the right. Pull into the first parking area and the first tee is at the entrance to the lot. For some reason, the first basket is lower than the other baskets. Tee three is across the road and then it's pretty easy to figure out from there. I enjoyed this little rec course. Definite chances to ace. Mostly open with some hazards, usually on the left side. After the 9th basket, head into th ...

Definite chances to ace. Mostly open with some hazards, usually on the left side. After the 9th basket, head into the trail in the woods. It's a nice little walk that will take you back to your vehicle. If you have time, take a walk down the river across the street, pretty amazing scenery. They need tee signs and pads, but not the worst course I've played by any means.

Closest thing to a course in the verm/amherst area. The good - it is fun for the family so if you have toocool for disc golf teenagers it is a nice hideaway park with other things to do. Some of the holes are fun to throw and in reverse actually plays better. The bad - hole 1 basket is really low not sure why. Hole 4 is basically a jump putt??. hole 6 is an upshot?? Hole 7 the best line is dead smack in the parking area and pedestrians have no clue. Hole 8 (best hole) as long as there isn't a pi ...

Hole 7 the best line is dead smack in the parking area and pedestrians have no clue. Hole 8 (best hole) as long as there isn't a picnic going on at that table by the tee. Had to apologize on 2 occasions since I interrupted their meal to throw. All in all it's all we got in the area and its a start i guess.
