Disc Golfing or Frisbee Golf in Wilmington

Disc golf is a unique and exciting sport that combines the action of Frisbee with the strategy and dexterity of traditional golf. The difference is that, instead of trying to land a ball in a hole, disc golf is played by tossing specially designed discs into wire baskets. Courses are about one-third the size of traditional golf course and can have 9 to 27 “holes” (baskets.) One of the fastest growing sports in the world, disc golf is a fun and challenging game for both body and mind.
