Description:

Myrtle Ridge is an 18-hole disc golf course on the West Campus of Georgia College & State University.  Construction was begun in 2007, and we are currently making modifications and completing the planned 18-hole layout.  Nine holes are currently open for play, with another five that are cleared and awaiting final modifications.  The course is challenging yet fair, with mostly tight forest and shrub obstacles, moderate elevation change, and some very painful briar thickets!

The first nine holes are playable.  We currently are using PVC tone poles.  Baskets are on the way, as soon as we secure more sponsorship!  Tee boxes are marked by red flagging.

GCSU West Campus is off of the US-441 Bypass in Milledgeville, GA, just 0.5 north of the intersection with GA-49 (Hancock St.).  The course is adjacent to the intramural fields at the far north of the housing and field complex.

Special Rules:

The course is still being cleared and there are special rules for vegetation removal.  If your disc lands in a thicket of briar, brambles, or privet, you may remove the vegetation that affects your path to the pin using trimming clippers or loppers.  This special rule is in effect to help open up the fairways.

The photo to the right shows how the course looked before we started clearing.  This is the view of the fairway from Tee #12.

DO NOT remove substantial woody growth!   We have left many obstacles to make the course more challenging.

DO NOT remove the wax myrtle plant.  This is a native species that is very beautiful and is the reason we named the course 'Myrtle Hills.'  If you are not sure, don't cut!

This is privet; it is a noxious invasive species which you may remove:
