Confirmed from Hudson Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (158 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 3 mentions

“But overall a well maintained and interesting course.”

🪧 well-marked 2 mentions

“Signage is easy to follow.”

Great course. Everyhole is pretty much ace-able which makes it incredibly fun to play. Lots of creativi went into the design and it offers great shade making it a top choice for summer time. The few that help run this course have put in a lot of work. Signage is easy to follow.

★★★★★ — Ben , Jun 2020

good par 3 course. mostly tunnels in the woods . rolling hills and lots of shade. distance is 160 to 310 feet. the rough can be thick ao ne careful.

★★★★☆ — Derek , Jun 2021

One of my favorites. So much fun with a few ace runs that make it really exciting. Fun to play no matter your level.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Sep 2023

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

⛰️ Hills / elevation 8 mentions

“Hudson has a smaller 18 hole disc golf course that is regularly maintained and has lots of good obstacles and elevation changes that make it challenging.”
