Disc Golf

The new 9-hole Disc Golf course in Community Park has been getting so much use, which makes our Parks & Rec team very happy!

The kiosk at the start of the course has now been installed as well as tee signs for each hole, including QR codes that can be scanned to view the course map wherever you are. Want to give the course a try but don’t have discs?

Come to the Recreation Admin Office to rent/sign out a set and go play! Not available If baseball diamonds or facilities are being rented.

How to Play Disc Golf

Disc Golf is played like traditional golf, but with discs instead of balls and clubs. One throw (stroke) is counted each time the disc is thrown and/or when a penalty is incurred. The goal is to play each hole in the fewest strokes possible. The player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins. The hole is completed when the disc comes to rest in a disc golf basket.

Each hole begins with a tee throw. Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area marked with a sign.

The “lie” is the spot where the player’s previous throw has landed. Mark each lie with a marker or by leaving the thrown disc on the ground where it landed. The player’s subsequent throw is made from directly behind the marked lie.

The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole get to tee off first on the next hole. After all players have teed off, the player whose disc is farthest away from the hole/ basket always throws first.

A disc that comes to rest in the disc golf basket or suspended in the chains constitutes the successful completion of that hole.
