Where you need to be:
- Head to the parking area, straight in by gate, first left on dirt road
- Head to the Bar, you passed it on the way in. Pay for your round
and get your discs (one of each: Midrange, Driver, Putter)
- Back in the parking area, you'll see a practice area to your left
(at the back of the office). Head there, throw some practice shots,
and make some putts into the basket.
- Once you feel confident to take on the course,look to your left
just past the office - you'll see the tee-sign for hole 1.
- Walk past the white tees and look for the red rocks that mark the
beginner tees

Some extras:
- Your Discs: For beginners throwing with a midrange and a putter is strongly recommended. For smooth straight shots, both do the job. Once you need it to go a bit more left, use that driver.

What is Disc Golf? Well, it is similar to traditional Golf, however, instead of using golf clubs and balls to aim for a hole, you'll be using multiple discs with the aim to get your disc inside a basket. The object of the game is just as with golf, to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws. Starting from a tee position and finishing with your disc inside the basket. The player with the lowest total cumulative throws wins the round. A course is made up of 9 or 18 holes.
It is a sport that is easy to learn, hard to master, but great fun when played with friends and family, and accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.
Disc golf courses can use a wide variety of terrain. Oftentimes, land not suitable for other park activities or development is the perfect terrain for a disc golf course. Disc golf is one of the best lifetime fitness sports. The positive experience with disc golf and the growing demand for more courses have led to the expansion of the sport all over the country, from small towns to urban areas.
