ATLANTIC – The disc golf course at Sunnyside Park in Atlantic has seen more progress toward completion this week. The Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department poured seven more cement tee pads, bringing the total to 16 of the 32 needed pads.
According to Parks and Rec Director Travis Garrett, the pads should be finished with two more cement pouring sessions, with another being scheduled for next week.
For the 18-hole course, 32 tee pads are needed to accommodate different skill levels. Each hole gets two pads.
Garrett said the disc golf course, even incomplete, has been popular this fall with people using it at all hours of the day. He also said that tournaments and competitions will be hosted there beginning next spring and a grand opening is also planned, probably next spring. While the course should be completed this fall, Garrett said completion depends on weather. After the cement pads are poured, signs will need to be hung to mark the beginning and the end of the course and number the holes.
Disc golf, also known as Frisbie Golf, is played like regular golf, except players toss a Frisbie into baskets instead of using clubs and balls. Courses offer a variety of holes, difficulty, and scenery for play. Players can play alone or compete against other players on the course. Anyone interested in using the course can use the course at Sunnyside Park and the only equipment needed is a Frisbie.
