Disc Golf

Disc golf is a flying disc sport in which players throw a disc at a target; it is played using rules similar to golf. The course at Tyandaga has nine holes, starting at tee #1.

Players complete a hole by throwing a disc from a tee area toward a basket, throwing again from where the previous throw landed, until the target is reached.
Usually, the number of throws a player uses to reach each target is tallied, and players seek to complete each hole in the lowest number of total throws.

This activity is free and open to all Burlington residents of all ages. The course will be open from January 30 to Spring 2021.

Please note, this course is not intended for organized team play at this time.

Residents will need to bring their own disc or can borrow them from the “Play Equipment Lending Library” (starting Feb. 2, 2021)

Disc Golf will be available seven days a week from dawn to dusk.
