A growing sport among
people of all ages, disc golf is popular in
the Pierre–Fort Pierre area, which features
three disc golf courses.
The game is simple: Players take turns
throwing plastic discs — Frisbees — at a
metal basket. Each player then throws again
from wherever his or her disc lands, until
he or she lands the disc in the basket. At
the end of the course, typically nine
“holes,” the player who finishes the hole in
the fewest throws wins.
Play at the Oahe Downstream State Recreation
Area, Steamboat Park
or Griffin Park disc golf courses for free;
at Oahe, a valid park entrance license is
required. Each park has discs available for
check-out. Score Cards and course maps
available for downloading and print on this
website. Contact the Pierre Parks &
Recreation Department for more information:
