Columbia has a new disc golf course at the Columbia Water Park!  The course is called “Pearl River Landing” and the first tournament, the “Pearl River Rundown,” will be held there on October 15, 2011.  For those not familiar with disc golf, it is a rapidly growing sport that is played much like regular golf, except with flying discs (also known as “Frisbees”.)

The course is a professional quality 18 hole – par 60 disc golf course that was designed by PDGA Pro disc golfer Tony Bass, and features baskets by Innova and a variety of challenges throughout the park.  Pros and amateurs from around the state and beyond will be coming to Columbia to compete in the tournament.

The Pearl River Landing disc golf course will provide both locals and visitors with a healthy and affordable activity for all ages, and will attract players from around the world to our town.  The course is open to the public, and there is no charge to play the course.  The only cost to play is the purchase of your discs and nominal entry fees if you want to participate in a disc golf tournament like the Pearl River Rundown.

The Pearl River Disc Golf Club (PRDGC) is a local disc golf club that has been formed to promote our new course and the sport of disc golf in our area.  You can watch videos to learn more about the sport and visit the Pearl River Disc Golf Club’s website by clicking here.
