***UPGRADED TO BASKETS WITH A NEW 19 HOLE LAYOUT NOVEMBER 2023!***

join us at Carls afterwards!!

This seasonal course (fall-spring) originally constructed as an 18 hole tonal course has now been upgraded with baskets and a completely new 19 hole design. Located in Lindsay Park (which surrounds the MNP Community & Sports Centre) this course is great for working on your short game but there are plenty of trees throughout to keep you on your toes. A mid range and putter are all you need here.

Disc Golf is played much like regular golf, but instead of trying to hit a ball into a hole, players attempt to get discs into a basket in the least amount of throws. Similar to clubs in ball golf, there are different discs for each shot. There are hundreds of discs available on the market which generally fall into three categories: drivers; midranges and putters. It is recommended that you have one of each to start although one could get away with just a midrange (such as a 'Buzz') in the beginning. Frisbees are usually not suitable as they do not fly far enough but they'll suffice if you just want to give the game a try.

Beginners are always welcome but basic throwing skills are helpful in getting the most out of the game. If you participate in sports such as softball or ultimate frisbee, you should pick the game up fairly easily. Games are pretty casual and scorekeeping is optional. The goal here is to simply have fun while enjoying the great outdoors. If you do not have your own discs but want to give it a try we have plenty of extras on hand but you'll need to bring your own sanitizer to clean them before use.
