Grab a friend or two and come play a round of disc golf on JBU's new Eagle Ridge Disc Golf Course! This beautiful 9-hole course offers challenging shots through wooded areas, with longer-range open shots, between the tennis courts and around soccer's Alumni Field. The course is open to the community and we would love your feedback. Discs are available for check out at the WLHC Front Desk for JBU faculty, staff, students and WLHC members only. Discs must be returned the same day as checked out.
