Closed For Three Years, Course To Reopen Offering Jeep, Foot Golf

BERLIN – A local golf course will be putting a new twist on the game when it reopens this month.

On Memorial Day, Deer Run Jeep Golf is expected to open on Logtown Road. The facility, which was a popular golf course for nearly 20 years before it closed in 2015, is being reworked to offer jeep golf, foot golf and pitch and putt.

“It’s something different,” said Ed Colbert, owner of Deer Run.

According to Colbert, he closed the golf course in 2015 when his wife was ill. His daughter and son-in-law recently approached him with a unique concept, that of jeep golf.


“They’re jeep enthusiasts,” Colbert said. “They came up with the idea of using jeeps as golf carts.”

Deer Run will offer a nine-hole jeep course, where patrons will use their jeeps to travel the golf cart path between holes. The facility will also offer an area for footgolf, a game in which players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible.

“It’s all over the place and growing like crazy,” Colbert said.

The third game offered at Deer Run will be pitch and putt, a type of golf.
