Overview

Lake Eureka Permanent offers a diverse mix of open and wooded holes, with a heavily wooded section providing tight technical shots and the open stretches giving room to air out drives. It serves as a more casual and wooded layout compared to the temporary tournament version.

Highlights

  • Used for AM layouts during Ledgestone
  • Occasional local leagues
  • Single layout used most of the year

Signature Holes

  • Hole 4: Downhill wooded shot to a sloped green protected by a creek
  • Hole 7: Long, technical par 5 that is tight and punishing off the fairway

Amenities & Facilities

  • Restrooms in the park
  • Pavilion available

Course Conditions & Maintenance

  • Maintained by City of Eureka with Ledgestone assistance
  • Can be soggy after rain due to proximity to water
  • Grass mowed regularly during summer
  • Poison ivy and stinging nettles in the rough

Ratings & Reviews

  • UDisc rating: 4.1/5
  • “Some of the tightest fairways in the area. Challenging but rewarding.”

Local Tips

  • Bring extra discs — the rough eats plastic
  • Avoid during heavy rain periods
  • Great for practice rounds leading up to Ledgestone
