With three options of difficulty level and maps of courses available on the Manchester Disc Golf website. You can choose from a beginners, advanced or tournament style course to best suit your level and experience. Each hole has a clearly marked starting point and a par for you to aim for.
The course is free to use and players are welcome to bring their own discs. There are also discs available to hire from the cafe in Longford Park for a deposit of £5 and fee of £1. If you’re looking for cheap ways of entertaining friends and family, disc golf is the perfect example of affordable fun. If you find yourself blown away with the thrill and fun of disc golf you can also purchase your own beginner discs from the cafe.
