Champion Stories

Real People.
Real Courses.

Real people who turned a disc golf idea into reality.

DiscGolfPark has designed a fantastic 18-tee course at Tintinara incorporating the features of the natural landscape. It is a great playing course for all ages and skill levels taking in lake views and walking trails through the native vegetation. The DiscGolfPark staff were exceptional in their knowledge of the sport and course design. They were also very helpful, timely and supportive every step of the way regardless of distance, ensuring the equipment was of high quality and the installation process was trouble-free. I highly recommend DiscGolfPark and look forward to the growth of the sport and more courses being developed in South Australia.

The service provided by the team at RAD has been excellent, from the initial consultation to the detailed planning of the course. They were able to maximise the space at Christian College Geelong and provide an excellent course.

It was great working with Andrew and the team. They designed a great course that looks and plays amazing. Campers have been enjoying the challenge and flexibility of the course. Highly recommend Andrew to everyone.

I engaged Andrew Ferguson from RAD seeking advice about how to approach my Council about installing a disc golf course. He provided everything I needed to speak to council, local golf clubs, and the general public about what it would mean to have a disc golf course in our town. 3 years later, we now have two courses within the Shire of Ashburton.

Disc Golf is a sport that is experiencing phenomenal growth across the world and especially in Australia and the City was proud to support this project. Chichester Park Disc Golf Course is another example of the City’s commitment to fostering active and healthy lifestyle opportunities for the local community.
