Disc Golf

The Hanover Disc Golf Course Development Ad Hoc Committee is an ad hoc committee of the Parks Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee, established for the purpose of providing input, leadership, direction and fundraising for the creation of a disc golf course integrated into the Town’s complement of green space properties.

Timeline

At the Parks, Recreation & Culture Advisory (PRC) Advisory Committee meeting, an area resident attended as a delegation and provided the committee with an overview of the sport of disc golf. The presentation included background of the outdoor activity, equipment required, suggested location and possible course design.

November 24th, 2021
At the PRC Advisory Committee meeting, members supported exploring the potential integration of a disc golf course into one of the Town’s green space properties provided there is demonstrated community support.

Positive Impacts

A Disc Golf course in Hanover has the potential to provide positive impacts to the community by:

• Providing an additional fun activity that provides physical, social, and mental health benefits for our residents;
• Attracting visitors to our community resulting in positive financial impacts to the local economy; and
• Enhancing an existing multiuse park facility by co-existing amicably within a selected site.
• Disc Golf is one of the fastest growing new sports in Canada.

Course Design

The proposed course will be located at Hanover Park. The course includes par 3 and par 4 holes and disc golfers should expect to walk approximately 1.43km to complete a round.
