Elver Park — Attraction in Madison

Disc golf review. By no fault of its own, my only complaint is the distance this course is from home. Well worth the 90 minute drive if you plan to play a few rounds. The course is built on a hill and your first concrete tee shot it looking up into a nice backdrop of trees.

From there, you'll play across the hill zigzagging your way up. After hole 5, you begin your trek into the woods where more technical shots begin and it isn't just a game of who can throw the farthest.

With both short and long tee pads coupled with dual pin placements, this course offers multiple unique ways to play the course that might never get old. This course is great for beginners and skilled disc golfers.

The course is pay to play which helps in the maintenance and up keep of the fairways and signage. Signage is in good shape and calls out distance for all tee pad and pin placements. They also include "Next Tee" on the signs, though I would forget to look until it was too late. There are also walking paths running through the course so if you do forget to check the sign for the next tee, there are a few holes that get confusing after completing (7 to 8 and 17 to 18 to be specific for first time players).

The course was clean of garbage and well kept. Grass was cut and the fields were not yet overgrown. I imagine by mid summer the overgrown fields, on the more open holes, will add some complexity to the fairways.

The course appeared to be popular as it was beginning to get busy around noon on a fair weather Sunday. Early morning seemed to be the best time to go. For three people, it took roughly 150 minutes to play two rounds using both pin placements from the short tee pads.

Again, great disc golf course with a variety of looks and options. If you drive out of your way to play here, plan on playing a few rounds here and possibly other...

This park was quite an enjoyable experience for my son, 5 y, and me. We essentially went on an adventure exploring the park, and decide to walk through a portal we found at the park 🤔😳😎 into a whole new world. There, we explored the world through the imagination of my son which was so much fun. We essentially found our way back through the portal onto Earth 😁🤩☺️.

The park is quite clean. There's disc golf for a small cost. It's a great place for a walk or jog. We definitely will be coming back soon for another...

Elver is a huge park with a ton of options!

The disc golf and ski trails have daily permits or season permits that are...
