Burton Adventure Disc Golf Course Fast Facts

Burton Adventure Disc Golf Course Overview

Burton Adventure is true Northwest woods golf. Nearly every hole threads tight corridors under big evergreens. Many fairways turn late or rise into small terraces, so controlled drives beat pure distance. Only a few holes stretch past 350 feet. Most reward a straight shot that stays low and skips to center. Underbrush is light in winter and thicker in summer, but the park crew keeps primary lines clear.

Players start by the main parking lot, loop through cedar groves to the ridge, then finish near the skate park. Signage shows basic length and par, plus arrows to the next tee. Rubber tee pads can be slick in wet months, so step carefully. A round takes a little over one hour for experienced groups and closer to two hours for first-timers who search for discs.
