5281 Disc Golf
Miscellaneous | Registration opens Monday, March 2, 2026 12:00 AM
A short PowerPoint presentation will introduce the game, including history, rules, safety, flow of game, course options, disc options, throwing techniques, and local options for game play and participation. We will all play a 9-hole round of disc golf right on the campus of Roane State Community College. Playing 9 holes involves a leisurely walk of about 1 mile on mostly flat, mowed grass. Dress appropriately with comfortable shoes for walking on grass, and bring a hat. You are welcome to play all or any portion of the course as your fitness permits. Each grouping of players will be accompanied by an experienced player to provide advice and answer any questions. Discs will be provided.
