What is disc golf, where can I play and what does the Sunshine Coast Disc Golf Association (SCDGA) do?
What is Disc Golf?
Disc golf, also called frisbee golf, is an outdoor sport with rules similar to traditional golf in that the player with the fewest shots (throws) wins the game. In disc golf, competitors throw a disc (frisbee) around trees, shrubs and other natural objects on their way to a basket target.
Courses on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is home to three disc golf courses, each with their own unique qualities.
Shirley Macey Park
On the Sunshine Coast, we have one public 9 hole course at Shirley Macey Park in Gibsons available to play year-round. The course is managed jointly in a stewardship partnership between the SCDGA and the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD). The course is groomed and maintained by both SCRD Parks staff and SCDGA volunteers.

Camp Byng
Further up the Coast there is an 18 hole course at Camp Byng on private land owned by The Boy Scouts of Canada. The course is open for public play, so long as there are no Scouts events scheduled. Please check the course’s UDisc listing for notice of closures.
Pender Harbour Golf Course
Even further up the Coast, there is an 18 hole course at Pender Harbour Golf Course in Garden Bay. Disc golfers play alongside the traditional 9 hole golf course. Green fees are approximately $16 for 18 holes or approximately $27 with cart rental. Tee-times must be booked by calling the Pro Shop at (604) 883-9541.
