Free, Fun, and Perfect for All Skill Levels

The moment you drive onto the campus of the Breakers Disc Golf Course you know it’s going to be a memorable experience.

Spread among 50 acres on the Summit Church campus in West Olive, this highly rated 18-hole course that opened in 2018 is full of pine trees, sand dunes, and even a small pond.

It’s a peaceful, play-for-free disc golf oasis that is challenging, yet still approachable even for beginners. In fact, the Disc Golf Scene Web site ranks it No. 19 disc golf course in the state.

My son, my friend Mark, and I visited on a hot Sunday afternoon in September. Parking is free and readily available, but there is no gear rental.

If you don’t have your own gear yet, stop by your nearest sporting goods store or look up Forge Discs, a West Michigan-based disc golf company that 3D prints discs. I met the owner recently and the discs are so cool.

The front nine of the Breakers, located on the southeast corner of the property, is much shorter and compact, while the back nine is spread out over the western and northern edge.

Right away on hole one, you face a challenging approach because the basket is guarded on all sides by trees. Very unique.

Fast forward to hole four and you have a basket tucked away in a beautiful opening of pine trees. Once again, not a lot of room for error, but it’s so picturesque.

Then on hole five, it’s choose your own adventure because there are two fairways that lead to the basket. In the middle there is a thick group of trees that you definitely don’t want to end up in. I went left, while Mark went right.

Another highlight for us was hole nine, which required throwing a disc over the pond or to the far-left side. Neither of us lost our disc and we loved the views. Huge win.

Along the way my son, Mark, and I shared stories, laughs, and smiles. And that’s really what disc golf is all about.
