Eagles Nest disc golf course & "My Hidden Secret!"

Описание: Hello Family and welcome back to OUR WILD OHIO!

Today we are exploring the
Eagles Nest, disc golf course.

Now before we get into why it's called Eagles Nest and if you don't know what disc golfing is, we will get into that but there’s a special reason why I call this place “My Hidden Secret “ and if you stick around until the end, I'll share my secret with you!

Anyways Eagles Nest, disc golf course is Located in Lancaster, Ohio, at Alley Park. It is a 18-hole course known for its challenging, hilly terrain and the need for strategic placement shots.

The course is known for its technical and placement-focused design, requiring players to make accurate shots on shorter holes.

So what is disc golf and how do you play it?

Well the History of Disc Golf
In the beginning, there was the Frisbee. The Frisbee led to Frisbee golf, as Frisbee aficionados looked for new and improved ways to play with their discs and began throwing them at holes like garbage cans, light posts, trees and whatever else struck their fancy.

Frisbee golf led to disc golf, as Frisbee aficionados discovered that those traditional Frisbees took a real beating when you threw them at the ground repeatedly. They then figured out it worked better to throw at a permanent hole.

The Father of Disc Golf, "Steady" Ed Headrick, who also helped bring the Frisbee to life, created the 1st disc-golf course in 1975 in Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, California. It's still in use today. That park featured the 1st ever permanent disc hole - a chain basket mounted to a pole, now standard equipment for disc-golf courses everywhere.

While it may not require a full, 50-pound bag of clubs, disc golf has its fair share of equipment. It has:

Drivers
Mid-range discs
Putters.


thanks to the wonders of modern sports engineering, drivers are designed to perform with an arc or a right- or left-return action, almost like slicing or hooking a ball on purpose, and can fly accurately up to 800 feet. With most courses in varied terrain, an angled action helps get your disc closer to the basket.

Mid-range discs, like their club counterparts, are designed to strike a balance between distance and up-close accuracy, while putters which weigh the least, yield little arc and work best at short distances.

So does eagles nest golf course really have eagles? and Yes, a bald eagle nest has been documented at the Eagles Nest Golf Course, and has been observed by local residents and birdwatchers. The nest is located in a tree past the golf course, and while it was previously viewable from the road and a nearby soccer field parking lot. The presence of an active eagle nest confirms that eagles are indeed present at or near the golf course.

So now I'm guessing you've figured out why they call it Eagles Nest, disc golf course.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources reported an estimated 910 active bald eagle nests in the state.
Bald eagle nests are protected by federal law, and no person may disturb a nest or its contents.

It is important to view any eagle nest or individual eagles from a distance to avoid disturbing the birds and potentially causing them to abandon the site.
If you're interested in seeing the eagles, check recent local social media groups for updates on the nest's exact location.
Remember that eagle nests are federally protected, so do not approach them.

So why is this really one of my biggest hidden secrets in Lancaster… this may be a beautiful golf course but if you look carefully this is one of the best places you can find in Lancaster for morels and chanterelles. This is always one of the first places I come in Springtime to check if morels are up or in the summer checking for chanterelles.

Well I'll leave you to enjoy some more of the beauty from Eagles Nest, disc golf course.
