The trees don't just tower over Iron Hill, they punish every slight miscue. Hit the narrow gaps, and be rewarded. Miss them, and the trees can show no mercy.
A true test awaits as the PDGA National Tour, in its 18th season, resumes this weekend at the Delaware Disc Golf Challenge Driven by Innova in Newark, Delaware.
Action kicks off Friday for three rounds at historic Iron Hill for the fourth and penultimate National Tour stop of 2021.
The last edition of the event proved that anything could happen at the boulder-filled and tree-filled track.

In 2019, Matt Bell launched a final-round surge for a chase-card win over Ricky Wysocki while Catrina Allen battled down the stretch for a three-stroke win over Kristin Tattar in FPO.
It was the second title for Allen, and the third time in the past four stops in Newark that Wysocki finished in second. Wysocki won the DDGC in 2013.

Iron Hill is located near the site of the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge in 1777, which was also known as the Battle of Iron Hill. It is reported that the battle, which was under orders from General George Washington, was the first battle in which the Stars and Stripes were flown.
