The disc golf course is once again flooded.

Hodges Village Dam is a flood risk management project that reduces flooding along the French River and in downstream communities of Webster, Dudley, and Thompson, CT.

Just got off the course taking some pictures. Course is flooded. Holes4,5,6 long, and 12 are unplayable. 9 holes are still playable. Navigation of the course is a little wonky with the bridge being unpassable but it can be done.

The log boom is being replaced at the dam. Please use caution on the course and around the equipment.

Over the next few days our contractor will be installing a new log boom at the dam. A log boom helps to keep tree and vegetation debris from floating into the gate structures of the dam. Please use caution in this area around the equipment.
