Our Goals
We did it! We know have an 18-hole Disk Golf Course on the Mendocino College Ukiah Campus!

Phase II is on and we need to raise funds to purchase signs, build some steps and short bridges. Donations are greatfully appreciated. If you or some one you know is interested in making a donation please contact Club Advisor Ross Beck, 468-3012, rbeck@mendocino.edu

Also, we want to raise funds for Mendocino College Scholarships. This we plan to do by hosting some Disc Golf tournaments.

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work and assistance over the past year.

What is Disc Golf?
Disc Golf, a sport which involves throwing Frisbees at targets, began in Southern California 25 years ago, and today there are over 1,000 courses worldwide. These are real live, dedicated courses just for this sport, in some of the most beautiful places you can imagine, inlcuding the hills of Ukiah!

Disc golf uses the same principals of play as regular golf, but instead of using clubs and golf balls, the player throws a disc (frisbee) from a tee pad to a basket on a pole. The score is based on the number of throws it takes to get the disc to land in the basket.

Do You Need Special Equipment?
Special weighted discs are preferred by disc golf pros, but you can use a regular frisbee to play. Local stores have weighted discs for sale. There is a good selection of discs, including putters, drivers and more, at Diamond Jim's Sporting Goods at 1294 N. State, Ukiah, and at Shop N' Wash, 581 N. State Street, Ukiah. See links below for website offering disks - a good way to learn what is available.

Local fundraiser with 150 stoked participants.

• Each hole has a par score, the number of throws expected to get the disc in the basket.
• Tee Throws - Throws must be completed within the tee area.
• Fairway Throws - Fairway throws must be made with both feet no closer to the hole than where the disc last landed.
• Putt Throws - Within 10 yards of the pole, falling or jumping putts are not allowed.
• Out of Bounds- A throw that lands out of bounds must be played from the point where the disc went out of bounds, and a one-point penalty is incurred. Water hazards and public roads are always out of bounds.
• Hole-in-One - Throw a big party! Brag to everyone!
