Profile

Fredericksen Wilderness Park Disc Golf is tight woods golf near Poulsbo

Fredericksen Wilderness Park Disc Golf Course is tucked behind Poulsbo First Lutheran Church winds through cedar and fir on a hillside that overlooks Liberty Bay. The 18-hole layout measures barely 3,200 feet, yet locals call it one of Kitsap County’s tougher tests. Fairways thread dense timber, baskets perch on small benches, and underbrush waits to grab any kick. Play is free, dawn to dusk, but a note at the kiosk asks visiting golfers to respect the grounds and pack out trash.

Fredericksen Wilderness Park Disc Golf Course Overview

Fredericksen rewards touch and patience. The hillside property gives most holes a gentle climb or drop, and every fairway is lined with mossy trunks. Yardages average 175 feet, but low ceilings, late doglegs, and sudden elevation shifts add strokes in a hurry. There are no open bombs or par fours—just 18 technical puzzles that beg for putters and mids. Mach III and Mach V baskets catch well, though sloped greens can turn a miss into a rollaway. The dirt tees stay firm in summer; winter rounds call for sure footing and perhaps a towel or two.

Rates / Booking / Local Tips

The course is free and first-come. Weekends see small league gatherings around 9 a.m.; afternoons are usually open. Summer ferns hide discs—bright plastic saves time. On wet days, play shorter skips and watch for slick tee boxes. Respect neighboring yards and church events; if a sign says closed for service, choose another time.
