In part of the town’s Crossroads Celebration weekend, Rambadt Park’s new disc golf course was
playable to the public for the first time last Saturday.

The event was put together by the Reed City Disc Golf Club and directed by course designer Steve
Hedstrom.

Over 50 players came play Osceola County’s first public disc golf course, including two from as far as
Texas. Each registered player was able to play up to four rounds in various formats, as well as receive a free disc and purchase various club merchandise.

The day began with registration as well as various clinics put on by advanced and professional players that helped teach skills of throwing, putting, and other basics. Players were then able to throw from each set tee pad location and play towards temporary baskets.

“The number one thing that people said was they really liked the course design and thought it was both fun and challenging,” Hedstrom said. “There's a couple places that we're going to have a tee pad a little bit further back from a tree so people don't hit their hand on it, but that was something I was probably going to be doing anyways.”

While the course was opened over the weekend, the temporary baskets have been removed for the
near future; however, construction has already begun to make the course available by hopefully end of September.

“Reed City Disc Golf is currently under construction of the very next step for putting in the basket cuffs,” Hedstrom said. “Within the last few days, holes were dug so things are coming along. We're going to be installing baskets within the next two weeks.”
