What is Crazy Horse Disc Golf like?
Located in Ashland, Crazy Horse Disc Golf is part of a Illinois disc golf scene that now runs to 287 registered courses. Across 2,484 ft the course fits 12 holes at par 36, which works out to around 207 feet per hole. That is short enough that a putter and a mid-range will cover most of the round.
The terrain is mixed/varied — a mix of wooded and open holes, which puts the emphasis on a complete game. The variety is the test: you will need a tunnel shot on one hole and a full-power drive on the next, often back to back.
ThrowSpot rates the course moderately demanding overall, making it players who have their form mostly sorted. Expect a genuine test without being punished for every miss. This is the level most recreational players score best on. Most groups finish in about 75 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.
What discs should you bring to Crazy Horse Disc Golf?
For a course like this, a putter and one or two mid-ranges covers the majority of shots. Leave the high-speed drivers in the car. There is rarely room to use them, and a controlled mid-range will out-score a driver you cannot place.
If you are not sure what matches your arm speed, the disc selector converts your throwing distance into a speed ceiling and specific mold recommendations. It is also worth reading the wind calculator before you play on a breezy day.
Cost and access
Crazy Horse Disc Golf charges $5 to play. Pay-to-play courses are the minority in disc golf, and the fee usually reflects better maintenance, dedicated staff, or private land.

Most park courses are open dawn to dusk; hours can change seasonally, so it is worth checking locally before a very early or late round.
