Disc Golf

Introduction

Disc golf is a modified version of the traditional golf game. Instead of a club and ball, players use a disc (frisbee), which they toss into a cage. Just like traditional golf, players can use a variety of discs based on their distance from the hole. Most disc golf courses are free and serve as a budget friendly alternative to traditional golf and can even be played in the winter. The Twin Ports has some great courses, some with great views of Lake Superior!
