Disc golf is a family-friendly sport and great for all ages and all skills. Played very much like real golf, the holes are replaced with baskets and balls with disc.
Athens-Limestone Alabama is fortunate to have five courses in our immediate area varying in terrain, skill levels, and obstacles. The 19-hole golf disc course at the Athens SportsPlex and the 18-hole golf disc courses at Joe Wheeler State Park and Calhoun Community College are full round play. Those looking for shorter play or just starting out will enjoy the 9-hole golf disc courses at Greenbrier Woods and Athens State University.
