Cherry Drive

There are two options for routes for this throw.

The Longer 203m route - From the standard basket on Hole 17, walk forwards toward the hotel. The tee pad can be found just next to the main path running alongside the road.

The Short 91m route - From the standard basket 17 walk towards the main path near the hotel (across the gravel path leading back towards the main campus). Follow the path down towards the main campus and just as you reach the next lake, immediately to your left there is a small opening in the trees. Here you'll find Tee Pad 18.

University of Essex Disc Golf Hole 18

The longer route is 203m in length with a decline of 6m at par 4. The Fairway here is far less defined making this a challenging end to the course. Once you've navigated through the trees you have a substantial drop to content with too.

The shorter route could be argued as somewhat easier, but with obstacles immediately to contend with this final hole is nothing short of tricky. At 91m in distance with a 4m decline at par 3 this is your final hole and your chance to take the victory.

Pro tip

You want to be on the right hand side of the fairway on the drive, don’t pinch yourself off on the left, the longer the better. The basket is situated on a treacherous slope so make sure you land the upshot close but don’t fly by as it’s a long way down to the marshy ground behind. Make your putt, take your birdie and finish on a high!
