Itinerary:

Come out and throw a few discs! Disc Golf is similar to real golf but has a metal basket instead of a hole. The goal is to get your disc in the basket in the least number of throws. There are 9 holes at this course which vary from 65 to 134 meters in distance.

While this event is suitable for beginners, you should be able to throw a disc/frisbee reasonably well to get the most out of this event. Golf Discs are recommended although Ultimate Frisbees-175g will work if you just want to check out disc golf. All other discs are generally unsuitable.

We may go for coffee or lunch afterwards for those who are interested.

Check out the following link: Alberta Disc Golf for more info on the sport.

The Centenary Park Disc Golf Course is located on the west end of St. George's Island. (This is the island the Calgary Zoo is located on.)

You can reach the course from eastbound Memorial Drive: take the zoo turnoff and park on the west side of the parking lot
-OR-
From 9th Avenue (Inglewood), turn north at Spolumbo's Deli, go across the narrow zoo bridge and follow the road to the parking lot on your left. As before, park on the west side. (From the Alberta Disc Golf Page)
