Ohio disc golf courses in Coshocton and Dover rank among state’s best

Eagle Ridge’s rise to No. 3 in Ohio did more than give Coshocton bragging rights. It put a volunteer-built course on the state’s short list of destination stops, while Deis Hill Park in Dover landed at No. 10 and reinforced that Ohio’s best disc golf is spreading well beyond the big metro areas.

The rankings matter because UDisc does not pick courses by editorial judgment. Its 2026 Ohio list is driven by player ratings, drawn from 432 courses in the state, in a market where UDisc’s Ohio page now lists 441 courses and 219 of them have 18 or more holes. Ohio is ranked sixth among U.S. disc golf states and regions, so breaking into the top 10 carries real weight in a crowded field.

Eagle Ridge’s appeal starts with its setting and the way locals reclaimed it. The course sits on the old abandoned Hilltop Golf Course, a transformation that helped turn a former ball-golf property into a disc golf venue with a 4.7 rating from 986 reviews. UDisc lists the layout at about 2.2 miles, and says it is maintained strictly by volunteers. Visit Coshocton says it is open dawn to dusk and free to play, two details that help explain why it has become a regular stop for players who want a full round without a gate fee.

The course’s design also gives it staying power. Disc Golf Scene credits Ethan Steiner and Doug Gray as the designers and lists the course as established in 2023, which makes the ranking even more notable for a layout that is still relatively new. Eagle Ridge is already showing tournament traction too, with Disc Golf Scene listing PDGA-sanctioned events there in 2026, including a C-tier in May and a B-tier later in the season. That kind of calendar suggests the course is moving beyond local play and into the circuit where destination courses build their reputation.

Deis Hill Park brings a different profile to the same conversation. The PDGA course directory lists it as an 18-hole permanent course established in 2007, and describes a layout with elevation, rolling hillsides and three sets of tees, including blue tees that are meant to be challenging. Disc Golf Scene credits Bill Griffith, Dan Kilgore and Greg Marsh in the course’s design history, and its event listings show the course hosting sanctioned tournaments across multiple layouts. Together, those details point to a course that has stayed relevant for nearly two decades because it asks real questions of players.

For Ohio disc golf, the rankings are more than a snapshot. They show that well-kept public land, smart design and steady local use can turn Coshocton and Dover into places players are willing to seek out, spend money in, and return to all season long.
