Osceola Today

The revived-course event: the course that runs again is a disc-golf course on a landfill

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

The checklist's revived-course form — the race or course that runs again, on the East Race pattern — has no exact Osceola instance: no filled channel was ever re-watered here, and no race that finished on a fifty-yard line, or anywhere else, is recorded on this ground; Sports's tests of bowling, golf and Legion ball return negatives at that form. What this ground does hold, at its own size, is a course built on reclaimed ground that now runs an annual event: Ferrettie–Baugo Creek County Park, on Ash Road at the town's edge, opened to the public in 1987 on 214 acres of which about twenty, in the park's northern portion, were reclaimed from a former landfill — Lake Osceola excavated as its water feature, the spoil forming the innertubing hill. Its eighteen-hole disc-golf course is open year-round, its pro shop in the gatehouse, and the course carries a standing tournament life, of which the documented marker in the record reached is the 6th Annual Ferrettie–Baugo Creek Holiday Classic, played November 24, 2024 — an event whose numbering itself proves a course that runs again, year on year, on ground the county first used as a dump. Printed at true size: this is the revived-course event Osceola actually has, a recreation course revived out of a landfill rather than a racecourse revived out of a river, and the grander forms are recorded as tested absences beside it.
