 Have you come to visit and play the new Disc Golf Course in Woodbury? It's fun, easy and something new for you!
After over 100 volunteer hours of work Woodbury will have its first Disc Golf Course. A par 3, nine hole course is officially opening up to the public on August 1st at 5pm* The course begins at Orenaug Park in the Senior Center parking lot at 265 Main Street South, Woodbury.
We wanted the course to be something that could be enjoyed by people from age 9 to 95.
A HUGE Thank You to Ray Robillard, for his countless volunteer hours to make this happen!
All the holes are short (between 100 and 200 feet). You can borrow a disc to play with and so you can literally come with nothing and if you like it you could play whenever you want without paying a cent.
No Disc? No Problem!
WOW has provided discs for those who would like to participate or try out the course. The discs will be available to check out at the Woodbury Public Library with your library card.

Want to play Disc Golf with others?
Join the Disc Golf Meetup!
If you are interested in meeting up weekly, to play disc golf, meet at the Woodbury Senior Community Center parking lot at 5:30 PM on Tuesdays to come play! No experience necessary. If you do not have a disc, you can borrow one from the Woodbury Library with your library card! Come join the fun!
