What do you get when you cross the elegant sport of golf with the casual tossing of frisbees at the park? The answer is Disc Golf.
Centennial Park, the mecca for outdoor fun, is also home to one of only two disc golf courses in the GTA. In the sport of disc golf, you use a frisbee or “flying disc” instead of clubs and golf balls and attempt to get it in the mesh “hole” in as few throws as possible. The key difference here is that it is much easier for someone to pick up and play disc golf than the regular golf we are all familiar with. The Centennial Park course is made up of 27 holes and is a par 72. It’s also quite lengthy at roughly 1.4 km. The course is free to play, is open year round, and has also been used for national and international competitions.
Grab some friends or your family and pray for no wind, you will be a golf pro in no time. “Disc” golf pro that is.

Hi There, I am a teacher in Mississauga interested in bring a group of students out for a round of disc golf. Years ago, my friends and I used to play all the time. 20+ years ago…remember getting a hole in one on one of the wholes.
Is there a map available…I see it refered to but struggle to find. Also, we bought our discs at Centenial Cycle but would want to buy some for the group…any suggestions?
Found the map! Disc golf purchases?
Hi Joe,
I recall Canadian Tire have a Disc Golf 3-pack but I’m not sure if they have them anymore. Europe Bound also had discs so you might want to look them up as well.
Not sure how serious you’d want totake it with your students. “Pro” players use a variety of dsics for different situations (e.g. driving). However, if your students are young normal frisbees will do just fine.
