Deuel Area Development, Inc. (DADi) and a team of students from Deuel School are considering development of a disc golf course in Clear Lake.  The team’s first step is to determine the community’s interest in a disc golf course, and needs your input. Click here to respond to a short survey regarding your interest in disc golf in Clear Lake.

Disc golf is a lot like traditional golf, except players use plastic flying discs or Frisbees instead of balls and clubs, and throw them at an above-ground target instead of a hole in the ground. There are different types of discs used for different purposes, much like golfers use different clubs. The object is to throw a golf disc into the target in the fewest number of throws. The player begins by ‘driving’ from a designated tee area and continues toward the target, throwing each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. Finally, a successful ‘putt’ sends the disc into the target. The most satisfying sound a disc golfer can hear is the ‘ching!’ of a disc crashing the chains before dropping into the basket

Would you like to see a disc golf course developed in Clear Lake? With the your input through the online survey, the team will know if the project is something the community would like to see pursued.

Projects such as this potential disc golf course are part of DADi’s goal to provide recreation and community life activities in Deuel County. Contact Briana with with any questions or comments at dadi@itctel.com, 874-8038, or ‘Deuel Area Development’ on Facebook.
