Disc golf players are going to have a championship level course to play starting this week in Rochester.
Championship-level disc golf course to open at Gamehaven Park this Friday
The Rochester Parks & Recreation Department announced in a press release Tuesday that the Gamehaven Park Driftless Disc course will be open to the public starting Friday, October 8. The course consists of a championship-caliber 18-hole course and a 9-hole recreational course.
According to the Rochester Department of Parks and Recreation press release, demand for the course to open has been strong throughout construction and the course is now at a point where it is safe to play while the Remaining work on the project has been completed.
“In 2014, Gamehaven Park’s master plan included the concept of a championship-caliber disc course. Today, we are living up to that commitment and expanding that original vision with the opening of the driftless disc, ”said Mike Nigbur, Head of Parks and Forests Division. “The 18-hole championship-caliber course and 9-hole recreational course exceeded my expectations by including some of the best views in the park and making connections with the natural environment. I think there will be a great appreciation for the prairie, woods, water and our unique geology as park users work their way through the course.
