Ives Run Disc Golf Course

The Ives Run Disc Golf Course is a 9-hole recreational layout located within Ives Run Recreation Area, near Hammond Lake in north-central Pennsylvania. Set in a scenic, multi-use park environment managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the course offers a relaxed and approachable introduction to the sport of disc golf.

Designed with accessibility and enjoyment in mind, the course features short to mid-length holes laid out across gently rolling terrain. Fairways are primarily open, allowing players to focus on fundamental throwing techniques while still navigating natural elevation changes and park features. The layout is well-suited for beginners, families, and casual players, while more experienced disc golfers can enjoy a quick technical round or use the course for skill practice.

The disc golf course integrates naturally with the surrounding recreation area, providing a peaceful setting alongside camping, picnicking, and lake-based activities. Its compact design makes it easy to play a full round without a significant time commitment, encouraging repeat play and broad community use.

The course is free to play and open during regular park hours. Players are encouraged to remain aware of other park visitors and to follow posted park rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
