Silver View Disc Golf Course Re-design
August 2016 Progress Report
By: Kelly Uhrich
University of Minnesota
Masters of Landscape Architecture Candidate
Main Objective:
- Move course from existing location to allocated land to the West, out of the
playground area
Will the new location be sufficient room?
Conclusion:
- The amount of space allocated for the new course away from other recreational
spaces and facilities is sufficient for a new 9 hole course.
- It will be reasonable for the new course to be kept is its own space for the safety
of all park patrons.

hole course as each hole can be
played multiple ways.

possibility of playing the course
multiple ways to construct an 18
hole course out of 9 holes.
Next Steps:
- Examination of existing topography for hole layouts
- Detailed site visit to record unique features
- Design exercise on future hole locations
- Location possibilities of multiple tee boxes per hole
- Basket locations
- Overall routing of at least one 9 hole course
