§ The lay of the land

A real disc golf town, if you beat the heat

Cincinnati's marquee is Idlewild, just across the river in Burlington, Kentucky — 24 holes, 9,574 feet, par 86, and a 1,001-foot signature par 5 that has humbled the region's best since it opened. Lincoln Ridge in Independence, Kentucky adds another 24-hole loop with lake, road, and creek all in play as OB.

On the Ohio side, Mt. Airy Forest is the pro-caliber original — the course that hosted the 1995 Am Worlds and 1998 Pro Worlds, with punishing rough and constant elevation. The Founding Fathers Disc Golf Club runs weekly events, and The Nati Disc Golf is the local pro shop. The 2026 LWS Open at Idlewild brings the DGPT to the region.

New here? Mt. Airy is the historic test; Idlewild is the pilgrimage. For gear, The Nati Disc Golf and Play It Again Sports are the local options.
