🌲 Greenwell DGC: A Community Gem
Since its soft debut in late 2024, Greenwell Disc Golf Course (DGC) in Lake Cowichan, BC, has quickly become a local favorite — and now it’s fully playable with its 14-hole summer layout ready just in time for 2025.
🏞️ Course Overview
Established in 2024, Greenwell DGC made its first appearance on UDisc and PDGA course listings late last year.
As of summer 2025, the course boasts a 14-hole layout spanning roughly 2,315 ft (with long tees hitting about 3,151 ft), set to a par 42 configuration.
The course is “Easy – Moderate”, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and casual players alike.
🥏 Layout & Play
Looking over the Summer 2025 layout reveals:
All 14 holes range from approximately 94ft to 315ft (94 ft–209 ft on the shorter tees, 156 ft–315 ft on long), making for a fast-paced and enjoyable round.
Estimated to take around 45 minutes to 2 hours per round (depending on group size), it’s a perfect course for a quick afternoon session.
Features dirt tees, mixed-use targets (Baskets & Tone Targets), lovely forest scenery, and pet-friendly grounds add to the charm.
