G U I D E Englewood MetroPark Volunteer Opportunities A simple game with no limitations An introduction to Disc Golf The Blue Heron Disc Golf Course provides a fun and relaxing outdoor activity for people of all ages. Disc golf is a game that encourages people to get out and be active in nature. It provides a free activity the whole family can enjoy outside. Patrons can take advantage of a fun-filled family outing, a friendly match or a personal trek through this 18-hole facility in the south end of the East Park. What is Disc Golf? Disc golf is played by throwing a plastic Frisbee-like disc at a target called a “basket.” The game is played much like ball golf, except that flying discs are used instead of clubs and a ball. The discs are like Frisbees® but are designed to travel farther and faster because of their weight and aerodynamic design. A disc golf course consists primarily of 5-foot-tall basket-like structures or “holes” and tee pads that designate the tee-off area. Players throw their disc from the tee pad toward the basket and a#empt to place their disc in the basket in the least amount of throws. Each throw counts as one “stroke.” The player with the least amount of strokes in one round wins! Unlike ball golf which is played on highly manicured greens and typically requires formalized tee times, disc golf provides a more relaxed atmosphere, available for strolling pick-up games in natural areas with serene vistas. Learn more about disc golf at metroparks.org/discgolf. Best short game: Park in the lot behind Hole 15 and play holes 15-18 for a fun, short game. With practice, you might just deuce all four in a row. Most challenging holes: Typically, the most challenging holes on the course are the two over 400 feet–Holes 1 and 10. Try to hit them in just two shots. They can be birdied! There are many ways to volunteer with Five Rivers MetroParks.
