Disc golfers know Hope Lake Disc Golf Course as a wooded course in the Virgil hills near Cortland, around Hope Lake. It has been ranked on UDisc’s list of the best disc golf courses at downhill ski areas, thanks to its wooded fairways, meadow views and a challenging layout.

The course can be played several ways, with long and short holes at each basket, so players of different skill levels can share a round. The PDGA’s Boondock Battle disc golf tournament takes place here annually.
