Course Description

The Winchester Disc Golf Course was designed by a group of volunteers passionate about the sport of disc golf. The course is designed to challenge all levels of play and was funded by volunteers and local businesses and organizations.

The course meanders through 170 acres of park land and boasts a balance of long challenging holes and short strategic holes. Each hole consists of two concrete tee boxes; a white novice/beginner tee box and a blue advanced/professional tee box. For your convenience, tee boxes are clearly marked with full-color hole maps and permanent colored squares in the concrete. Scorecards are also available at the course map which is located at the outdoor pool parking lot or you can download the scorecard here.
