Disc golf enthusiasts can now head to Kelso Conservation Area for a nine-hole game.
Conservation Halton says the new course was put together in partnership with Chainlink Disc Golf.
The game is similar to traditional golf, but instead of using clubs to hit a ball into a hole, a disc is thrown towards a basket. The goal is to get the disc into the basket in the fewest tosses or ‘strokes’ possible. The player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins. Players can easily keep score by downloading the UDisc App.
“Conservation Halton prides itself on connecting people with nature,” says Craig Machan, Director, Parks & Operations, Conservation Halton in a press release. “Our ‘Summer 9’ disc golf course at Kelso gives visitors another way to experience our parks and get active outdoors. Disc golf is a fun activity, and it’s suited to all ages and abilities. Plus, here at our course, players will get to enjoy a round with the incredible Niagara Escarpment as their backdrop. We’re excited about this addition and look forward to hosting visitors for a round soon!”
It’ll officially open on August 26th with a Grand Opening event. Residents are invited out to the conservation area at 5234 Kelso Road in Milton between 9:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m.
