Frisbee Golf Courses in Chicago

Chicago, Illinois, offers two disc golf courses within city limits, each providing a different set of challenges and landscaping. Disc golf, also known as Frisbee golf, follows the same guidelines as traditional golf, with the player tossing a disc, instead of hitting a golf ball. The goal is to toss the disc into a basket at the end of each hole. In addition to the two city courses, disc golfers can find courses located just outside Chicago city limits, offering natural settings in more rural areas. Each course utilizes water, trees and elevation changes to create difficult shots.
