Flingin’ Fun at Greek Peak: My Latest Disc Golf Adventure
If you’re looking for an outdoor activity that combines the thrill of the game with the beauty of nature, disc golf at Greek Peak Mountain Resort is a must-try. This sport is gaining popularity for good reason – it’s accessible, affordable, and a whole lot of fun. On a recent sunny day, I decided to take advantage of the perfect weather and give the course a go. Here’s a rundown of my adventure and why you should check it out too.
Spinning Up the Perfect Round
Greek Peak Mountain Resort has been my playground for years, but the recently renovated disc golf course brings something new to the table. This time, I grabbed my trusty discs, a few buddies, and hit the course for a round that promised a mix of challenge and fun. Oh, and I snagged a season pass – more on that great deal in a bit!
Course Overview
The disc golf course at Greek Peak is a marvel. With 18 holes sprawling across varied terrain, it’s a delightful mix of open fields, wooded areas, and elevation changes that keep you on your toes. Each hole offers a unique challenge, from tight tree-lined fairways to wide-open shots where you can really let it fly. Plus, each hole has both short tees and long tees, allowing for an even more varied experience. The construction and design of the course are top-notch, clearly reflecting the time and effort put into creating a fantastic disc golf experience. The layout is intuitive, and the signage is clear, making it easy to navigate and enjoy every round.
The Round
Energy Needed: 7/10
Disc golf is surprisingly demanding! Walking the course, especially with the elevation changes, gives you a decent workout. The total distance of course is probably between 1-2 miles, so plan to get in some steps.
Thrill Level: 8/10
The thrill comes from the precision and skill required. Hitting a long putt or threading a needle through the trees is incredibly satisfying.
Price: 10/10
Here’s the best part – the price is unbeatable. It’s only $5 for a round of eighteen, or $29 for a season pass. The season pass pays for itself after just a few rounds, and now I can enjoy unlimited access all season long. Plus, if you don’t have your own gear, rental discs are available, making it easy for anyone to jump right in. Or check out the new stuff at the Mountain Shop in the ski lodge if you’ve already decided to commit to the sport.
Why You Should Try It
Disc golf is perfect for anyone looking to blend outdoor exercise with a bit of friendly competition. It’s accessible for all skill levels, whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie like me. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to explore the beautiful Greek Peak landscape. The season pass adds even more value, making it a no-brainer for frequent players.
