Looking for something free and cheap to do? Something that will get you outside and enjoying the weather? Look no further than the multiple disc golf courses in the Cincinnati area!
What is Disc Golf? Disc golf is played with a flying disc. Players toss the discs at a target (a net). The game follows the rules of golf with players keeping score by how many “throws” it takes to land the disc into the basket. Like golf, you tally the score and the person with the lowest score wins.
Whether you’re a beginner, an avid player or something in between, you’ll find lots of places to play disc golf in Cincinnati. The courses are all over town and they all come with a different level of difficulty. Some are 9 holes, some are 18 holes… there’s even a 24 hole course!
