What is Disc Golf? Disc Golf is a game that is played with a Frisbee or special disc. The game is similar to regular golf in that your goal is to throw your disc down a fairway at a target on the opposite end. You count the number of throws it takes you and this is your score. You can play alone or with a group of friends. The course is very challenging and often requires throwing over and around hazards such as trees, brush, and water. Bring your own disc or buy one at Camp Dakota. You may play the course for free when you stay at Camp Dakota.
