About 50 people raised a glass to toast the grand opening of Lancaster County’s newest and first disc golf course last Saturday.
Deadrise Disc Golf, about a year in the making, opened for play to the public Saturday, June 11, on a portion of the former King Carter Golf Course at Hill’s Quarter near Kilmarnock. The 18-hole course was developed through community donations and from the back-breaking labor of organizers John and Marsha Jedlinski of Saluda, Davy Nichols of Irvington, Rob Pittman of Weems and Justin Burke and Brandon Frazier, both of Kilmarnock.
Deadrise Disc Golf is a free, public course open sunrise to sunset daily, said Nichols. There is a list of posted rules and regulations which include no littering, no alcohol, drugs or smoking. Organizers also ask players to be courteous of other players, of those walking on the trail and to pack up all trash and belongings. Dogs, on leashes, are allowed, but owners are reminded to clean up after them.
For disc golf newbies, there is a loaner box of discs. Players are asked to return them to the box at the end of the round and donations of discs are always welcome.
