Will Bendik Memorial Disc Golf Course

18-hole Will Bendik Memorial Disc Golf Course. St. Clair County Parks and Recreation is thrilled to offer this family-friendly activity for all age groups at our Columbus County Park. The course was primarily funded by a generous donation from Gary and Lin Bendik in memory of their son, Will and a grant from the The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Legacy Fund for Youth Sports, which will allow for the expansion of youth disc golf free play, lessons and leagues in St. Clair County parks. Funds will be used to build a “free play” station where discs will be available for guests who do not own any. This will encourage park guests to try the sport out risk free.

Disc golf is a unique sport that can be played by adults and children alike. It is a perfect way for friends and family to gather and explore the outdoors. Participants will enjoy the beautiful natural habitat at Columbus County Park as they play at their own pace. The course begins near the Lodge and meanders throughout the park by way of large meadows, hills and dense woods along the east side of the Belle River, offering scenic views and challenging holes.
