Deerfield Park Disc Golf • 17 Pine Grove Rd Cartersville GA 30120
Deerfield Park’s course is a technical, flat and wooded course. Find a summer reprieve from the hot sun under the umbrella of shade provided from the mature trees as you play a round and expect standing water in areas following heavy rain. The 20-hole course featuring DISCatcher Pro targets and concrete tees is an intuitive yet compact design appropriate for all skill levels. The level landscape makes this course more manageable for those with physical limitations compared to the more mountainous Etowah course noted above.
