What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Vollrath Park is a beloved community hub, praised for its diverse activities and natural beauty. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained disc golf course, family-friendly amenities like the playground and musical garden, and seasonal fun like sledding. While some note changes to the disc golf layout, the park remains a cherished spot for recreation and relaxation.
"One of the OG Wisconsin courses from back in the Frisbee days (late '70s I believe). Mostly short holes with lots of ace runs (only a few over 300'). Uses the Vollrath Bowl elevation pretty well to create some fun holes. Beginner friendly.
Unfortunately, they altered the design. The old hole 12 was a tweener hole and nothing special, but 13 was a longer hole playing parallel to Lake Michigan that brought water into play. It offered great views and a spot to pause your round. 14 was a short challenger going uphill about 60 degrees to a basket on a treacherous green. The replacement holes pale in comparison."

"So many activities to do at this park, sledding, basketball, pickleball, tennis, 18 hole disc golf course, playground, picnic tables, summertime food trucks. On a recent walk through Vollrath Park I enjoyed nature's art. Two trees caught my attention that morning their root system spoke to me reminding me how trees relay on other trees when struggling as humans do too while I often forget to reach of help. The lake comforts me too that day the trees have hugs. I am grateful for all the beautiful parks in the City of Sheboygan. Thank you"

"After the storms that blew down some trees a couple years ago and all the construction around the area they finally have all the holes back in action making it one of the best disc golf courses around for casuals like myself. If you're a serious player I'm sure this is probably a beginners course for you but I appreciate the amatuer setup of the holes, most the holes are pretty short and elevation changes in some of the holes and the overall layout makes for some fun times."
