Winchester Park to Feature a Disc Golf Course
Avid disc golf players in the community will soon have a new course to try right here in Jim Barnett Park.
The owners of Incredible Flying Objects on the Loudoun Street Mall recently started a petition for disc golf players wanting to see a new course built in Winchester. They had over 400 people sign the petition! The group has organized their efforts and started fundraising to build the course. “It’s not possible for us to consider building this type of amenity in the park right now given our budget constraints,” said Michael White WPRD Operations Superintendent. “So, its up to the community to help make it a reality and these folks are very excited about it.”
Currently, the Shenandoah Valley Disc Golf Club has raised enough funds to fully construct 6 holes and are very close to completing the funding for a 9 hole course. Once the snow thaws, the group and WPRD maintenance staff will begin constructing the 9 hole course. The long range plan is to eventually have an 18 hole course and host regional tournaments.
If you are interested in getting involved, contact Incredible Flying Objects at 678-9993.
