Disc Golf

In partnership with the Springfield Disc Golf Club, the Springfield Park District has constructed two disc golf courses available for public play. Both Lincoln Park and Duncan Park feature a complete 18 hole disc golf course. To learn more about leagues, tournaments or just getting started please visit our partners at discgolfclub.org.

Etiquette
Please do not litter and pick up any trash that may not be yours. Leave the course cleaner than when you visited.
Begin play by flipping a disc or by other arrangements prior to beginning.
If the fairway is blocked by park pedestrians or for other reasons, skip the hole until able to return. Be patient and courteous of others in the park.
