Guide
Astorhurst Disc Golf Course is a free, 18-hole course in Bedford Reservation, laid across the rolling hills and wooded edges of the former Astorhurst Golf Course. It suits players who want a long, challenging round more than anyone looking for a quick stop or easy warm-up. Budget about 2½ hours and roughly 3 miles on foot.
The disc-golf layout makes use of the old course's elevation changes and wooded patches. There are three tee levels; the full course is listed at 10,494 feet, while a separate Amateur layout is listed at 8,164 feet. Check the course map before you start so you know which tees and scorecard to follow.
The hills and long holes are part of the appeal, but missed throws can disappear in thick, scratchy rough. A playing partner who can spot discs makes the round easier to manage. Bring your own water for the walk.
