If you are picking one
Start at Odell
It costs nothing, it is a short walk from downtown, and every hole is a par 3. Nine baskets with two tee pads each, so you can play a short nine, a long nine or a full eighteen without leaving the park. Turn up on a Wednesday evening and there will be thirty people on it who will tell you which line to take.
After that it depends what you are after. The Royal 9 is three baskets and nine tees in a park on the north side — the quickest round in the city and the fastest way to learn what your discs actually do. Fulton Heights is the opposite: eighteen holes and better than a mile of fairway, with six par 4s and a par 5. Mactaquac is the prettiest ground the club plays on and the one that punishes a wide throw hardest. Deer Park in Oromocto is short and tight and finishes on an island green. Ripples Run at JOMO Acres is the full eighteen with practice baskets and a pro shop on site.
Every one of them is walkable in an hour or two, and every one has a page here with the hole count, the tee surfaces, the length off each pad, whether the dog can come and where to park.
Which courses are free?
The three in the city. Odell Park, The Royal 9 and Fulton Heights are public and free, any day you like.
Ripples Run is private ground with a green fee — though the club’s Thursday league covers it for members. Mactaquac sits inside a provincial park, so the park’s own day-use rules apply. The finder above marks which course is which.
Do I need to book a tee time?
No. Turn up and start on whichever hole is free.
Disc golf does not run on tee times. If a group is on hole one, start somewhere else and loop round, or wait a few minutes — most rounds here take under two hours. The only time a course is busy is a league night, and you are welcome to join that instead.
How long does a round take?
About an hour for nine holes on foot, two for eighteen.
The Royal 9 is quicker than that and Fulton Heights is longer, being better than a mile of fairway. Add time if you are new — most of a beginner’s round is spent walking to where the disc actually went rather than where it was aimed.
Are the courses open in winter?
The baskets stay in the ground. Whether you can find your disc is another question.
People play through the winter here, and the club runs a shortened round at Odell in January as part of FROSTival. Bright discs, a shorter layout and lower expectations. The indoor putting league on Monday nights is where most of the winter improvement in this club actually comes from.
Missing one?
New baskets go in around this province faster than anybody keeps track of. If you know a course that is not on this list — a school, a campground, nine holes somebody put in behind a community centre — tell us and we will go and play it.
