Nya:wëh to everyone who joined us at Highbanks for the Disc Golf course ribbon cutting!
We’re thrilled to add this exciting feature to your camping experience. The 18-hole course, designed by professional disc golfer and course designer Avery Jenkins and his company, Discmania, with support from the Seneca Nation Planning Office and many others, broke ground in January 2024. Nearly 100 people attended a preview event in November 2024, featuring the NCAA/Twin Tiers Disc Golf regional qualifying tournament, where colleges from across the states competed.
“There were months, weeks, days, and even last-minute efforts spent making this course as beautiful as possible and upholding the professional standards people expect at Highbanks,” said Judy Farmer, Highbanks Director. “We would like to thank the Seneca Nation TERC Department and SNI DPW, who greatly assisted Highbanks with the construction of the Disc Golf Course, pro golfer Avery Jenkins and his company, Discmania,” said Councillor Tina Abrams at last Friday’s ribbon cutting. “But most of all, a big nya:wëh (thank you) to Judy Farmer, Justin Reiller, and all the staff at Highbanks who worked diligently to bring a new, fun outdoor activity to Highbanks.”
Also unveiled at the ceremony was the newest Tiny House, now available for campers. Built in 2016 by the Training Center led by Larry Kesner, the house was remodeled in 2023 and officially named “Lake House” at the suggestion of the TERC department—combining “La” from Larry and “Ke” from Kesner. Larry not only helped design and build the tiny house but also renovated it years later. “We wanted to recognize Larry for all that he has done,” added Farmer. The house will be available for rental this summer with a 2-night minimum requirement.
Visitors can use the course for a $5 fee. More details on the course and reservation information for the Tiny House will be available soon.
