We need to install a disc golf course in Stapleton. Disc golf courses provide a low cost recreation option at a low cost to install and maintain. The average cost of installation of a 18 hole disc golf course is less than $15,000. Disc golf is a low impact exercise that will enhance existing parks and optimize under utilized land/space. Disc golf is a sport for all ages and will bring more local community members into the parks system.
Building a disc golf course is environmentally friendly. The installation and use does not require mowing maintenance, clear cutting or the grading of land. Disc golfers play an active role with the upkeep of the course and the surrounding communities. Many parks with disc golf installations have noticed a reduction in crime and vandalism. Anyone can play this sport, regardless of age, sex, religion or Creed. Disc golf courses are an active place for community engagement and awareness. Many local community business are willing to donate to the equipment costs, especially if the have the right to advertise on the Tee signage.
