Disc golf has been around for over 30 years, but it has only recently begun increasing exponentially. Fantasy Park is the new location for a disc golfing course that accommodates both beginners and advanced players. Designed by Australian Champion Chris Finn, the course is laid out with 9 targets and has a total of 18 tees. The course is intended to increase the difficulty of playing. Each teeing off position weaves in and out of trees, with some holes actually hidden. The tees are in ascending order up to nine if you’re playing for just one round, but the rest of the nine positions circle back to the beginning, conveniently located near the parking lot.

This 1655 metre course boasts a par 55. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Won’t we be bumping into scads of people from all over, thirsty for a chance to take the blood (figuratively) of their competitors? Well, it might interest you to know that a well-designed course (which this is) can hold around 100 people without too much overlap time between tees. This particular course was designed to utilize the grounds provided more effectively by placing two tees at each hole.

The first nine golf tees have a simpler design, are generally closer to the holes, and range from 52 to 113 metres in length. The final nine are more suited for intermediate players: the range for these extends from 76 to 165 metres. If you’re short on time but are still looking for a challenge, just take the last nine holes. It’ll get your heart pumping!

THE PROS OF THE HOLES

It’s no secret that disc golf is now a widely accepted sport and flourishes in northern countries, so it’s time to put Australia on the map as one of the prime locations for national tournaments. The best way to do that is to increase the sport’s popularity. Western Australia in 2018 has introduced three new disc golfing courses, two of which are in small mining towns. If you’re new to disc golf, pick up a disc and head out to Fantasy Park to get involved in this sporting sensation! If you’re an old hat on the subject, take advantage of the new park and take the time to tour others, including the newly-created Paraburdoo and Tom Price courses. They surely won’t disappoint!

The park is located in the City of Rockingham, at Rand Avenue Reserve, Rand Ave, Waikiki, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 6169
