9-BASKET DISC GOLF COURSE OPEN DURING THE SUMMER

Our 9 hole course exists in and around the base area, primarily in the vicinity of the Green Chair. Baskets are generally in place from June – September annually. Come check it out!
Disc golf is now closed for the season, as of 10/01/2024.
All baskets have been removed for the fall / winter season and will be re-installed in June of 2025.
What to Expect
Our disc golf course is a great way to get outside and enjoy a leisurely few hours around Castle Mountain Resort. The 9-basket course begins just outside the T-bar Pub and winds its way around the base area, between the first few towers of Sundance (Blue) Chair, and then all the way to the top of the Green Chair zone. There is no need to book the course in advance. All you have to do is turn up and play.
Discs and scorecards are available at either Castle Mountain Resort Guest Services or the T-Bar Pub.
Cost
FREE (provided you have your own discs)
Discs can be rented from either Guest Services (mid-week) or the T-Bar Pub (weekends). Rentals are $10, with a $20 refundable deposit, upon return of your discs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is disc golf played?
The object of disc golf is to have fun and complete the course in the fewest throws.
- Start from the teeing area. The player must throw from behind the front of the teeing area.
- Subsequent throws are played from behind the spot where the previous throw came to rest. This spot is known as the “lie”. If your disc comes to rest in a tree or bush, the lie is the spot on the ground directly below.
- A run-up and follow through are allowed, but the player must release the disc before stepping past the lie.
- A putt is a throw from within 10 metres of the target. When putting, you may not step past your lie before establishing balance.
- The hole is completed when the disc comes to rest in the basket or chains. The hole is not completed if the disc is resting on the top of the target.
- If a throw goes out-of-bounds play from either the last in-bounds location with 1-throw penalty or retee with 1-throw penalty.
