About the course

A beautiful, professional level 18-hole disc golf course set to the backdrop of the Cherokee Mental Health Institute that was built in 1902. The course has a variety of lines for both backhand and forehand dominant throwers, as well as optimal holes for rollers. There are a few OBs, mandos, 'tunnel' holes, and an island hole. The holes vary in length with a good mixture of short, medium, and longs. Follow 'Cherokee Disc Golf' on Facebook for more information on tournaments, leagues, and other happenings on the course.

The course is played throughout a mental health institute with both active buildings and some "abandoned" buildings in disrepair. Course itself can be a bit long at times (may be a huge improvement if short tees or pins were added on the longer holes). No restrooms available to public, but a walking trail throughout. If you're here for just the course, you may be disappointed. If you like different experiences, take a moment to peak in the old abandoned buildings. You may just find me peeking back at you from inside. Don't tell anyone. 🤫

One of the best courses in Iowa! A bit of a local secret possibly. Distance is a fun challenge for an intermediate to advanced player. Plenty of short holes too. A true test of your skill. A destination course in Iowa due to the challenge combined with the history embedded all around you at the Mental Institution.
