White Marsh disc golf course concept design released

WHITE MARSH, MD—A disc golf course will soon be coming to the White Marsh area. The course will be located at Days Cove Park.

An initial public meeting was held to discuss the possible park last April.

The Days Cove project is advancing through the design development phase, with thorough environmental reviews and collaboration underway. The park site concept (PDF) was released to the public on May 23rd.

The concept reflects public feedback indicating a preference against a walking path, to position the parking lot as far north as feasibly possible within the design parameters and to locate the course at a distance from neighboring parcels and residences.

The Days Cove Disc Golf Course is a proposed new 27-hole disc golf course with parking access off of Allender Road. The parking lot is strategically located to provide safe ingress and egress, allowing for maximum sight distance along the roadway, as well as a central location between the beginners’ course (nine holes) and the intermediate/advanced course (18 holes). Its location also avoids the steeper topography as one heads westward on Allender Road.

The 27 holes take maximum advantage of the useable land, allowing for a more sustainable layout and to avoid environmental constraints such as steep slopes, stream buffers and wetlands. The disc golf design consultant has designed a course that maximizes woodland views and has allowed room in the low-laying northwest corner to buffer the course from existing commercial developments with additional setbacks and new landscape screening.
