Itinerary:

Disc Golf #218 ~ Beginners Encouraged, Equipment Provided ~

**BK Shawnessy afterwards for those interested**

Come join us for a round of disc golf at Bonavista Downs. This beginner friendly course was upgraded in 2024 to a full 18 holes complete with cement tee pads and signage. It is located roughly where Anderson Drive and Bow Bottom Trail intersect with access off Acadia Drive SW.

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 u ltimate 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. Everyone should bring their own discs but if you're a first timer who just wants to give it a try before investing in any equipment, we generally have extra discs available to lend out.
