A long drive through the pine trees is
needed  to reach basket 1.
Welcome to the new Joralemon
Park Disc Golf Course website!
Special thanks to the town of Coeymans
for allowing us to install a full 18 hole disc
golf course in this beautiful town park!  

As of June 2007, the city has approved the
course on a permanent basis and we
have now cemented the baskets in the
ground permanently.

Please keep the park rules in mind at all
times, and please remain on good terms
with all park users as well.  Please enjoy
it, but be respectful.
Joralemon Park Rules

Basket 7
On a small ridge, protected by the hedgerow
and by low-hanging branches.
The beautiful Joralemon Park's disc golf course is a real treat for the Capital
Region, offering a great mix of tight wooded holes and open fairways with
baskets in guarded positions - for players of all skill levels, yet challenging for
the more experienced players!

This course encourages players to learn new throws and expand your game!  
It requires knowledge of a variety of shots from hyzers and anhyzers to  
controlled distance drives and rollers.  Most holes offer several choices for
your shot as well.   Over 5300 feet in total distance!

The golf baskets are Lightning DB5s.  Tees are gravel.  The course is in a
constant state of maintenance, so the tees will get better as we work on them.  
To join a work crew and volunteer your time maintaining the natural beauty of
this disc golf course and park, please keep an eye on the discussion forum to
see when work days are scheduled.

Enjoy the moss-covered rock outcrops, wildflowers, and mature trees.  Explore
the many hiking trails that you'll find mostly across the road from the course
when you're done playing!

Basket 14 suffered a near-fatal blow by two huge
pine trees that buried the basket.  Here are a

picking up the mess.  
Special thanks to Nate Anderson for organizing the
work parties and providing the money & leadership
to get all of our baskets cemented into the ground.
Tantalizing pictures of how much Skot Hanna's new Woodstock Disc Golf Course rocks!  Beautiful wooded course that plays along
a steep rock cliff, so you throw off the cliff, up the cliff and into the cliff. As of November 2007, 18 holes have been installed.  This
course is on private property, so please contact Skot before playing.  Email Skot at
skothanna@yahoo.com for details.
