Residents of Bluffton’s New Riverside neighborhood are about to get an early holiday gift at the red Barn Park. The grand opening of a nearly mile-long, 18-hole disc golf course at the ever-growing perennial marvel of a park is this Friday and is located at the May River Road and Okatie Highway roundabout.

The big red barn , a private- and community-wide event space, came online almost a year later. The 37-acre park, open from sunrise to sunset, also includes walking trails and an event lawn that makes this park the crown jewel of the town. What is disc golf?
