Amesbury Pines Disc Golf Course — Attraction in Amesbury

The course designers did a bang up job fitting a pretty good course into a small price of land. I’m used to courses where you walk 2-4 miles for one round of 18 holes but this one we can’t have walked more then a mile and a half tops. Most of the course is in the pine woods but the fairways are well made enough that it’s not just a throw-and-hope deal, there’s actual lines that you can go for on each hole even though some of the gaps are rather small. It’s also not just wooded golf, 3 holes are in the open, one a big field shot with a nice wide green and the other two shorter shots over two ponds on the property. The water shots are no problem if your a intermediate time advanced player and have a consistent 250’+ drive and you can always take it from the drop zone if ya don’t want to risk loosing a disc. There’s a good mix of shot shapes based on the fairways, left handed throwers are not at a disadvantage and both left and right handlers will need to throw backhand and forehand or backhand turnover to play the course as it was designed. The baskets are all nice, and the tee pads as well (I think there’s 2 tees for each basket one is a “winter layout” and the other “summer”). There’s a playground and skatepark in the park as well which is nice and a few benches. paths, pagodas, and fields. The only things I would change is it would be cool to have a par 4 or 2 and maybe even a par 5 thrown in somewhere and some of the map signs need fixing or the baskets need to be identified better so you don’t throw to the wrong...

I've been playing for a little over a year and have played 9 courses all together. The course is great for a close by option and can challenge even an experienced player. The thing I dislike most about the course is its tight integration with the adjoining park. There is a playground that could seriously come into play for the last two holes and there are usually at least one or two kids roaming the course. This wouldn't be so bad if there weren't spots on the course where you're throwing blind and you don't if someone is down there.

Aside from the populated nature of the course, there are some woodsy holes where trees play a factor, some open holes where you can rip it pretty well, and a few over-the-water holes that will certainly...

I love this entire park. I grew up in Amesbury so this place has been a part of my life forever. It has a park including swings, slide, zipline, ect.. It has beautiful views of the pond and woods in back where the Discgolf is located. There is also a baseball field and plenty of room to just run around. Dogs are welcome which is a plus for me. There is a pulbic restroom and water fountain. My one and only complaint would be the parking. There is just not alot of spots to park so it is sometimes difficult to find a place to park your car on a busy summer day. Other than that I highly recommend this park for any family or anyone who enjoys a walk in the woods or Discgolf. It has a little to offer everyone....
