The Long Way Home

Hole 10 is a 100-meter walk from Basket 9. Look for a directional sign near Basket 9 to guide you. Proceed forward from there, heading toward the main path, and then turn left, heading back towards the accommodation block. Tee Pad 10 is nestled between two Northern Red Oak trees.

University of Essex Disc Golf Hole 10

This is a long hole, a par 4 spanning 271 meters. The right side of the path is out of bounds, so you'll need to throw straight for about 120 meters before making a slight right turn to approach the basket. A 125-meter-to-basket marker stands directly in front of you, aiding your aim. As you approach the last 75 meters, the basket becomes visible, with a slight decline at this point.

Pro tip

The second signature hole, the monster par 4. This takes two huge drives to have any chance of a birdie with both requiring power and control. Make sure you stay in the fairway and avoid the mature trees at all costs or shots will be dropped. The biggest tip on this hole is don’t try too much, 3 90 meter shots get you to the basket, can you really throw two accurate 135 meter shots to card the bird?
