Whitmarsh Disc Course Burlington WA
Set alongside the scenic Skagit River, Burlington Disc Golf Course offers a compact, technical challenge that rewards precision and smart play. Designed by GRIPPT QS and Zane, this 18-hole layout is woven through a mixed-use city park filled with old-growth maples and wide-open fields. While it’s not a destination course, it’s a well-maintained local favorite that provides accessible disc golf for players of all skill levels.
Established in 2019, the course stretches just over 5,100 feet, with most holes under 300 feet and none over 400. Expect a flat, walkable layout—ideal for carts and strollers—but with tight spacing and overlapping fairways, so situational awareness is key. Tee pads are rubber mat, baskets are Prodigy T1, and directional flags help navigate the flow between holes.
This is a course where finesse wins over power. While longer holes like 11 and 4 demand distance control, most of the layout emphasizes line shaping and strategic shot selection. Several baskets are placed near other fairways, so it’s a shared space that encourages a respectful rhythm among parkgoers and players alike.
It’s not without quirks—some basket confusion and tight routing come with the territory—but for a quick round in the shade with a nice breeze off the river, Burlington delivers. You won’t lose many discs here, but you’ll definitely need to stay dialed in to keep your scorecard clean.
