What is Wild Vines Disc Golf Course like?

Located in Watkins Glen, Wild Vines Disc Golf Course is part of a New York disc golf scene that now runs to 139 registered courses. The layout runs 18 holes to a par of 54 over 7,056 ft, averaging roughly 392 feet per hole. That is long enough that you will want a driver you can actually control off the tee.

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 110 minutes, though a busy weekend morning can add half an hour of waiting on the tee.

What discs should you bring to Wild Vines Disc Golf Course?

For a course like this, a putter, two mid-ranges, and a couple of fairway drivers covers the majority of shots. The variety rewards a balanced bag over a specialist one. You will use almost everything you carry.

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.
