News Summary

Disc golf is rapidly gaining popularity in the valley, with more than 15,000 courses worldwide. The valley boasts at least seven diverse courses, making it a disc golf paradise. As tournaments like the Las Vegas Challenge attract thousands of players, both new and seasoned enthusiasts can find the perfect fit to enjoy this exciting outdoor sport.

Disc Golf: The Fast-Growing Trend in the Valley!

Have you noticed more people tossing discs and having a blast in the park lately? You’re not alone! Disc golf has really taken off during the pandemic, becoming as popular as our favorite backyard sport, pickleball. Thanks to a surge in interest, there are now more than 15,000 disc golf courses all around the globe, and this number has doubled since just 2017, according to a new report by UDisc in 2024. It seems like everyone is getting into the action!

A Course for Everyone

In the valley, players have a treasure trove of options with at least seven disc golf courses available. These spots vary, offering both pay-to-play and private experiences. In comparison to other large cities, this is impressive. Just think about this: even Washington D.C. has only two courses, and New York City manages to squeeze in just one. Talk about a disc golf paradise!

Want to find the best fit? UDisc has you covered with a handy tool that helps you search for courses based on various factors: difficulty level, available amenities, accessibility, and course length. That way, both new and seasoned players can find the ideal spot to enjoy a game!

Recommended Courses to Check Out

If you’re eager to hit the course, here are some fan-favorite spots:

Peccole Ranch: Considered the highest-rated public course, this gem boasts an impressive 18-hole layout. It’s a must-visit!
Red Ridge Park: New to the game? This mini course is perfect for beginners with its nine-hole setup.
Sunset Park: Want a challenge? This is the longest public course in the valley, featuring a whopping 24 holes, though be aware it can get quite crowded.
Mountain Crest: Geared towards intermediate players, this 18-hole course is a top pick among local disc golfers.
Wildhorse Golf Club: For just $15 a player (which includes golf cart rental), you can tackle over 20 holes—just make sure to reserve your tee time in advance!

Mark Your Calendars for Exciting Tournaments!

The excitement doesn’t stop there! The Las Vegas Challenge recently kicked off the 2023 Disc Golf Pro Tour season. This exciting annual tournament has been around since 2000, originally launched as the Gentlemen’s Club Challenge with only 44 participants. Today, it has become a major event, welcoming an impressive 176 professional athletes in 2023. The name change was made to draw in new sponsors and spread a positive vibe about the event.

For over a decade, this tournament took place at Sunset Park before moving to Wildhorse Golf Club. Softball fans will appreciate how the local disc golf club has organized noteworthy events that have contributed to bringing the tournament to such a fantastic setting.

Looking ahead, the 2024 A-Tier schedule is buzzing with excitement as it includes 225 A-Tier events! The next Las Vegas Challenge is set for May 9-12, 2024, and it will fall between two other prestigious Disc Golf Pro Tour events. Plus, the 2024 Disc Golf Masters Tour will have a slight shake-up, reducing events from 21 to 17, but don’t worry, popular courses will still be a part of the fun!

Players are already looking forward to new qualifying pathways for a Tour Card via the Q-Series in 2024. Don’t miss out; be sure to catch the thrilling action! Last year’s champions, Catrina Allen and Calvin Heimburg, showed what it takes to dominate the competition, and who knows who will take the crown this time around!

So, whether you’re a pro or just starting your disc golf journey, there’s never been a better time to grab a disc and head out to enjoy the growing sport in the valley!
