Golf Experiences
Golf is a great way to get out and get active, absorb your vitamin D, challenge yourself, or just have a laugh with some friends. Local golf aficionados don't have far to travel to find a great course, the undulating knob and kettle terrain lends itself well to the sport. Ranging from easy 9-hole courses to elite, more challenging Jack Nicklaus signature courses, there is something for everyone.
"The only sure rule in golf is he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie." – Mickey Mantle

Disc Golf
"Disc golf is played much like golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, though, players use a flying disc or Frisbee®. The sport was formalized in the 1970s and shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws).
A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the "hole." The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is an elevated metal basket. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway." - Professional Disc Golf Association
