Advice on maintaining a disc-golf course

By Danielle Spence

There are more than 14,000 disc-golf courses available worldwide, with over 1.2-million disc golfers, according to UDisc’s Disc Golf Growth Report. The West Chicago Park District, located 32 miles from downtown Chicago, maintains an 18-hole disc-golf course within Kress Creek Farms Park. With packs of mature oak trees, rolling hills, a catch-and-release pond, and large swaths of prairie, this park offers a true golf-like experience that requires proper placement of holes and frequent maintenance.
