Chattanooga Welcomes New Championship-Level Disc Golf Course

This weekend, Chattanooga is set to celebrate a thrilling new addition to its outdoor recreation scene with the grand opening of an *exciting* championship-level 18-hole disc golf course at Enterprise South Nature Park. Scheduled for Saturday, the long-awaited event marks the culmination of a two-year project that brought together dedicated local volunteers, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation, and Prodigy Disc Golf for a total investment of around $25,000.

What to Expect at the Opening

The grand opening festivities begin at 10 a.m. at 190 Still Hollow Loop Road. Following a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, eager competitors will have the chance to participate in a tournament right on the new course. It promises to be a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and a whole lot of disc tossing as the local disc golf community comes together to celebrate this new treasure.

The Course’s Unique Features

Named after a historical nod, the Corbettas, this course is designed by none other than Will Schusterick, a celebrated three-time United States Disc Golf Championship winner and former world No. 1. Hidden among historical dynamite storage bunkers, the location adds an intriguing backdrop to an already thrilling experience.

One of the standout features of this new course is its challenging layout. With significantly longer holes that include par 4s and par 5s, players can expect a more demanding and competitive atmosphere compared to typical recreational courses. Local disc golfer Andrew Bushey has pointed out that the Corbettas course offers approximately double the playable length of some existing courses in the area, making it a go-to for discerning players looking for a challenge.

Accessibility and Community Involvement

While the course maintains a high standard, it is designed with accessibility in mind. Players of all ages and skill levels can dive into the sport without breaking the bank; with just one $8 disc, newcomers can quickly get started and enjoy the game. The local disc golf community in Chattanooga is particularly renowned for its warm and welcoming spirit, aiming to help all players—new and experienced—enjoy the sport and stay active outdoors.

This initiative also speaks volumes about the growth of disc golf in Chattanooga. As one of the largest communities in the Southeast, local enthusiasts are thrilled about the enhanced access to championship-level play. The aim is to foster community involvement along with a greater appreciation for the sport itself.

More Disc Golf Options in the Region

Chattanooga isn’t just stopping with the Corbettas; the area boasts a variety of other disc golf courses, including *The Sinks* and *Camp Jordan*, offering players numerous options to hone their skills and enjoy the game. This expansion of facilities contributes to the vibrant atmosphere of disc golf in the region.

When Are You Invited?

Mark your calendars! The Corbettas course will officially open to the public on Sunday, right after the grand opening celebration. It’s a fantastic opportunity for everyone to explore, play, and discover what disc golf is all about in a beautiful park setting.
