Edgewater Disc Golf Course Overview

Edgewater is a true community build. Volunteers helped install a championship-length layout that stretches from the north end playground to the south end of the park. Fairways thread between ball fields, paths, and groves of trees, so player awareness matters on busy weekends. The course favors shaping rather than brute distance. You will throw controlled hyzers and straight shots under a high canopy, plus a few longer drives where wind can push a disc toward the river side of the park.

Navigation is easier than first glance. Basket bands include arrows to the next tee and the city map gives a clear look at the loop. Reviews note the club has experimented with turf sizes on some tees, so footing can vary. Bring a towel if the grass is damp. The setting is the star. You get Skagit River views and a quick walk to downtown Mount Vernon when the round is done. 

Hole-by-Hole Highlights

• North start near the playground. Short to mid par-3s warm up the arm under tall trees. Look for arrows on basket bands for next-tee directions. 

• Mid-course fairways open up. Wind off the river can add a club to your drive. Use low lines to stay under the breeze. 

• Several holes play near paths and field edges. Mind park users and give way during events like the Highland Games. 

• Late stretch tightens slightly with small gaps and guarded greens. Turf tees with pavers mark lines. 

• Closing holes return toward the parking areas. Cars may line the north side during busy days; adjust play as needed. 

Amenities & Practice

Edgewater Park provides restrooms, a playground, open grass to throw warm-up shots, and a kiosk with the course map. Parking is in the park lots on the north side. A boat launch and multiple fields share the space. 

Food & Beverage

Bring your own snacks and water. Make sure you pack out what you bring in. Downtown Mount Vernon is nearby for food after your round.
