Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your planned tee time, especially on weekends when the course sees higher foot traffic. While GPS navigation is highly effective for the general Griffiss area, ensure your app is set for the specific disc golf course entrance. As this is a public-access recreational facility, please ensure all valuables are secured out of sight inside your vehicle, and always pack out any trash to help keep the beautiful grounds clean.
