Brandywine Disc Golf Course Layout
A second version of the layout
From I-95 take Rt.202 North. Go about a mile and turn left at Rt.141. Go about a half mile and turn right onto Rockland Rd. You will pass the DuPont Country Club where they hold the LPGA McDonald's golf tournement. Stay on Rockland until you go over a bridge and immediately after the bridge turn right. The park is about 1/2 a mile on your right. Turn in. When you come to a Y in the park road take a right. The course starts in the stand of trees.
Brandywine Disc Golf Course History
1) 368ft. Straight shot. There is a stone wall running the length of the hole just to the right of the middle of the fairway. Since this hole is on top of the highest hill, there is usually a right to left wind which comes up to the wall and over it, creating some nasty turbulance. There is one large tree next to the wall 40ft. from the tee that sometimes comes into play.
2) 231 ft. Slightly down hill, straight shot. Hole is placed behind a single large tree and bush but visible. I've been playing this hole since 1980 and have aced it once. Should be a deuce hole normally.
3) 274ft. Straight shot across the slope of a hill. A stone wall is in the middle of the fairway dividing the upper half of the hill and the lower. The basket is under a tree. Wind and the darn hill make this deuceable hole turn into a lot of pars.
4) 432ft. "THE BEAUTY" - well reknown hole that plays down a big hill and over a creek (OB) to a small clearing where the hole is. At the bottom of the hill, there are woods to the right which sometimes come into play. Watch the wind and creek!
5) 669ft. and "THE BEAST" - second half the famous pair. Uphill through fields. The hole is behind a hedge row.
6) Referred to as "the bastard" by the locals. Shooting at a 30 deg. angle to a treeline where the hole is located at the end of the treeline. The treeline and hole are on top of a hill. The golfers with guts throw a hyzer to the right of the tree line to land in the clearing of the hole.
7) Straight shot uphill through some saplings 2/3 of the way down the fairway. Should be a deuce.
8) Slight uphill shot. The basket is behind and to the left of a stand of trees.
9) 342ft. Straight shot through open field into edge of trees. The hole is five ft. behind a four ft. high stone wall. The trees don't really come into play.
10) Through open flat field except for large diamond shape rough (high weeds) in middle of the fairway which then slopes down to the hole making the basket hidden from the tee.
11) Nice hole. Elevated tee going down to hole on a flat hill which drops off to the right, left, and behind the basket. A large tree is to the right halfway down the fairway. Should be a deuce.
12) Very elevated tee going down to basket on top of a five foot slope (going away) with creek 30 ft beyond that. Deuceable if a nice drive.
13) Fairly long uphill (steep) straight shot.
14) Very elevated tee going down to the basket which is behind a stand of trees.
15) Uphill shot through a few saplings. Deuceable.
16) 352ft. Elevated tee, going down to the end of a barn. The basket is on the right side of the barn, 30 ft passed the end. The right side of the field 60ft from the basket is nicely protected by a large tree.
17) 231ft. Short anhyzer shot around a stand of trees. Should be a deuce.
18) 457ft. Long uphill (not very steep) straight shot. Good roller hole (depending on the wind as always)
