Seen as one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. because of its affordability and accessibility, disc golf in the state of New Hampshire will be highlighted in an upcoming New Hampshire Chronicle segment slated to air on September 17th at 7:30pm. More information on the segment will be available via the WMUR TV-9 website.
Unlike traditional golf, disc golf is played using a flying disc or Frisbee® but shares the same challenge of completing each hole using the fewest number of throws (or strokes) from a starting area (or tee) to reach and have your disc land in an elevated basket (or target). Wildcat Mountain installed a 9-hole lift-serviced alpine disc golf course in June and players begin and progress down designated fairways that may be more recognizable during the winter skiing and riding season as Cheetah, Snowcat Slope, or Wild Kitten trails. Response and feedback on Wildcat’s new course has been positive from both disc golf enthusiasts and those just getting in to the sport. The alpine disc golf course at Wildcat Mountain will remain open, along with the Wildcat Express scenic summer gondola and ZipRider, through the fall foliage season in to late October. Cost to play the new course is $15 per person and that includes lift ticket to play 18 holes (two rounds of 9) and a 3-disc rental set comprised of driver, mid-range, and putter discs. Cost for players who bring their own disc(s) is only $10.
