Joe Eakes Park — Attraction in Kure Beach

Used the public tennis courts on vacation, and they were in good shape (and had wind screens)

UPDATE 10/2020:

When I started Googling for disc golf I was surprised to see the same park where I played tennis also had disc golf. We've now played the course twice on subsequent days. This is a fun course with about 0 elevation change. As others have noted, it's pretty well marked, but we definitely struggled a bit on the first pass. The maps in the UDisc app helped out a lot, esp. moving from #2 to #3. If you don't have that, you can take a picture of the map at the pavillion to reference. A walkthrough prior to play is smart. I didn't do that and finished +7 on the main tees. The next day my son and I both shaved 9 strokes off our scores simply by understanding pin positions and keeping our throws low with a focus on fairways.

Other notes:

you are basically playing in sand - prepare to slide hole length is widely varied (some under 200 ft and one almost 500 ft) trees are numerous but unless you're way off target it's difficult to actually lose a disc there is not much chance to improve position once you're off the fairway as the vegetation is thick (unless you have dependable rollers) only 1 concrete pad; the rest are iffy for run-ups recommend closed-toed shoes to prevent burrs beware of drainage pools/ditches descriptions at each hole are pretty...

Quaint facilities. Has freebie golf, tennis, baseball field, child park, dog park and adequate nature trail. Accessibility at night is unknown, most parks are open dawn to dusk. however, at Christmas the city has a lovely display of Christmas light up front. Bathrooms are limited to port-a-Johns, but does not stop numerous walkable public to enjoy this area on frequent basis. Getting to dog park from front area parking is unusual. You must walk through the child park, around a ranch fence place awkwardly in middle field lane and back down towards back of lot. This posed difficultly for some people who own non child friendly dogs, however want to enjoy the free range dog park with their dog friendly animals. (Children gravitate towards animals without asking permission. Perhaps signage up front to state better location of dog park entrance to avoid liability issues.)...

I went twice with children and grandchildren. Played tennis on the hard courts, they were in good condition. I also played pickleball. The pickleball courts are shared with basketball, so the have portable nets which are locked when not in use. The people playing were nice to give me the combination so we could use the nets. Everyone was very nice. The playground was also a big hit with my grandchildren. They also...
