The 9 hole course in Manalapan is open for play. Check out the PDGA
Directory for more information.

If everything works out this course will expand to 18 holes in the
future.

The 18 hole course at Mountain Park has been delayed due to lack of
funds for 2007. I'll start cutting out the proposed course this winter.

I'm also pursuing installing a course 1.5 miles from my house in
Alexandria Park, look for a fundraiser for baskets if my proposal is
accepted.

I started the laying out some of the holes at Mountain Park and the terrain is unreal!! There are many, many natural fairways throughout the wooded areas. Looks like we will put 18 holes in one part with the possibility of another 18 holes down the line. I will post work days as we make some more progress. One hole is a downhill thriller about 600' through a grove of cedars.

sweet MaTTy, looking forward to playin a new NJ course.

My goal is to install so many courses in NJ, you'd have to come home. :D

hey matt it's Scott Lewis.. Glad to hear we are getting more courses in NJ.. YOu have to get down to the new Vineland course sometime. We have slowly been building it for the last year and it's shaping up great. Unlike the other vineland course(in landis park) this course plays around a huge lake and woods in South Vineland Park. WE have 9 baskets in and are hoping that the town will allow us to install the next set of 9. I'll send you some pictures when I can get them up online. Keep in touch and good talking to ya.

Sounds awesome! I'm really looking forward to it. While these 9-hole pitch-n-putts such as Chimney Rock, Dunham, etc. are fantastic for introducing new players to the game, skilled disc golfers in the region will really welcome a new world class 18-hole course.

no chance of that....burrrrrrrrrrrrr, cant handle the cold.

Haven't you heard of global warming?? Experts say in TTen years NJ will have the same weather as South Carolina. :cool:

but I want NC weather.

Greetings All,

I got approval on Wednesday to install a 9 hole disc golf course in Alexandria Town Park, Milford, NJ. I live 1.5 miles from the park.

I have to raise the funds for the course and I'm offering hole sponsorships for $400. You will be recognized on the tee sign and also on a special golf disc. You can contact me at: mlacourte@bernards.org or 908-995-2298.

Awesome news! Hippie Jon Ginsberg and I used to visit the Ship Inn in Milford quite often after rounds at Tinicum. However, eventually the quality of the beer grew suspect so we stopped going.

I assume that this is the park at the intersection of Milford Mt. Pleasant Road and Little York Mt. Pleasant Road. Will the course in Alexandria Town Park be geared towards beginners or advanced golfers? Open or wooded? Any elevation changes?

Jeff,

You got the correct intersection, I live on Milford Mt Pleasant Rd. This course has a mix of wooded holes and open holes, length is medium and there is elevation. E-mail me if you want a map of the layout.

Sounds like it's gonna appeal to both groups. Well done! E-mail has been sent. :cool:

Bumping this thread up, still seeking hole sponsors, please send a pm if interested.

Innova Disc Golf has promised the donate the 1st target for Alexandria Town Park. Looking at workdays after baseball season is over June 14th. I'm in dire need of a large tractor or landscaper to cut the disc golf course for the first time. Any and all help is appreciated. Hole Sponsors still needed.

The Alexandria Park Disc Golf Course grass was cut this week. I've tweaked the design slightly after my walk through last night. There will be 2 legitimate par 4's on this 9 hole layout. There will be 2 sets of tees. I'll be out on Saturday and Sunday this week doing some more clearing. As soon as I get approval for the layout I'll order baskets. Look for more workdays after I get back from Pro Worlds. You can reach me on my cell at 908-616-4953 for directions or mlacourte@bernards.org.

Good Morning All,

I'm having the 1st workdays for Alexandria Town Park. This will be your first chance to preview the layout and propose any changes. Targets are scheduled to arrive end of August. Items needed: Weed wackers, pruners, shovels and a chainsaw. I anticipate working 2 hours each day, there is not that much to be cleared. I will supply beverages. After work is done we can throw the layout or head to Tinicum for some practice for the AMMO on August 26th.

Here's the link for directions:

You can confirm your attendance here or call me at 908-616-4953. Come on out and help get this new course rolling....

Workday times are 8 am to 12 pm each day.
Show up when you can.

No work day at Alexandria on Sunday August 19th. I'll be moving baskets at Tinicum on Sunday and hopefully planting the #9 tee sign also in preparation for the X Town AMMO on August 26th. :cool:

I am no longer employed by Bernards Township.

Here's the latest news about Alexandria Park DGC.

Alexandria Township had their Community Day this past Saturday and they gave me a booth to introduce disc golf to the community and it was a great success!! Well over 100 children and adults tried out the 2 hole course I set up and there was more awareness of disc golf than I anticipated.

Thanks to the generous sponsors so far: Mid-Altantic Disc Club, Skylands Disc Club, Delaware Disc Golfers, LaCourte Family and Innova Disc Golf.

I have 9 almost complete targets sitting in my basement, the tops should be here this week. I have been clearing for the last few weeks and the grass is scheduled to be cut the end of this week.

There will be workdays on Saturdays starting October 6th. Work involved will be clearing tee pads, setting sleeves and assembling targets. Please RSVP to mlacourte@gmail.com. I'm still taking sponsorships for the targets and I'll will also have Pro Destroyers as fundraiser discs thanks to Innova!!

If the weather cooperates the course should be ready before Halloween!

Tee Posts are in and I just planted the first sleeve. All sleeves should be in by this week, pole holes to follow. There will be temp tee signs until I get the metal signs. Still waiting for the grass to be cut, my volunteer has not followed through yet. I'll reach out to other local landscapers for assitance. Could be playable by October 27th....

I'll be planting the last 2 targets in the ground today. Temp tee signs to follow. Grass is planned to be cut next week. Fund Raiser Discs are on order!! Pro Detroyers!! There is still room for more sponsors!!

Contact mlacourte@gmail.com for more information.

Alexandria Township Disc Golf course is playable. The temp tee signs are up. I'm working on a map, scorecard and information board. Should have them done shortly.

Pro Destroyers are in!! They are all white and are between 168-175g. I also have Aviar Putters and 150 g Sharks. Destroyers are $20 and Aviars/Sharks are $10 each. I'll have them with me at the AMMO Saturday at Nocky and at Hickory Run Nov. 17th. Please note that I will not mail order discs unless you spend $50. All proceeds go to the course fund

Sounds great, Matty!

I'll be heading through Jersey in two weeks when the Steelers destroy the Jets, and will look to get a round in on the new course. :cool:

I talk to you at Hickory run on the 17th. My partner is currently the most hated poster on the board. :D

I assume you mean KLab, but I wouldn't say that at all. He seems really really disgruntled with all things PDGA these days, but is asking mostly constructive questions.

Played the course for the first time yesterday. Nice. Rather open (you'll find it a bear if the wind's up) with good elevation changes. A couple of tight 200 footers and 2 legit par-4's (420' WICKEDLY uphill) and a 600'er).

Here are the directions to the first tee at Alexandria.


http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=242+Little+York-Mount+Pleasant+Rd.,+Milford,+NJ&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&l l=40.588602,-75.056319&spn=0.005882,0.009656&z=16&iwloc=addr

After entering the Park take the gravel road on the left, watch out for the light pole. Stay right on gravel road to 1st tee across from the old farm house.

Please realize that they are tearing down the old farmhouse between the the Tee of #1 and Basket of #9 and you may not be able to get through for another week or so. You can just park and walk in. The 9 holes make a counter clock wise loop back to Tee #1. There are elevation changes on every hole.

The first 4 holes are short and tricky, Hole #5 is straight uphill 420' par 4 and #6 is gentle left to right touch shot. Follow orange flags to Tee #7 which is a 385' hole tucked 60' behind a huge bush. #8 is a uphill 270' tucked in a grove of trees. Hole #9 is a big dogleg left 600' par 4 to finish by the farmhouse. The pathway by hole #9 is OB like a stream.

Contact me if you want a guided tour. :-D

Here's the latest update on Alexandria DGC:

Alternate tees & fairways have been cleared and marked with orange flags.

Delaware Valley Disc Club will be forming, events will be held at Tinicum and Alexandria in 2008.

There are still 3 hole sponsors available on the 1st 9 holes. Fundraiser Discs ( Pro Destroyers) are still available. We will be fundraising all year to fund 9 baskets and tee pads (like Nocky's).

There has been an abundance of play at these unique course. Come on out and check it out, you will not be disappointed.
