DISC GOLF COURSE GRAND OPENING AT SCOTT PARK

Prince George Parks and Recreation is extremely excited to invite you to the Grand Opening of “Pine Valley at Scott Park” an 18-hole disc golf course. The Ribbon Cutting will be held on Tuesday, September 27th at 6:00 p.m., 6000 Scott Memorial Park Road, Prince George, VA  23875, next to the outfield of Ballfield #2.

For those unfamiliar with the sport, disc golf is played much like golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc on the course.  The sport was formalized in 1970’s, and shares with golf, the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). 

The course has both long and short wooded and open holes. There is a mix of dog legs, left and rights with some tricky shot shapes. Parks and Recreation would like to give thanks to Richard Scott and Jay Risher, both of whom volunteered countless hours designing and developing the course. The course is free and open to the public.  Participants must supply their own equipment.
