Easy To Locate, Easy To Play

The Alexander Heights Disc Golf Course is located within Ian Robbins Park itself, and if you’ve never been to this area before, you’ll be pleased to see how easy it is to access. Found in a regional suburb of Wanneroo, both those who live in the community and visitors from elsewhere can head to the course quite simply. Clear signage is displayed throughout the area, letting you know exactly where to start and where to go next.

If you’re new to disc golf and aren’t really sure what to do, Alexander Heights is one of the better places to learn! This layout is only 9 holes, compared to the standard 18, and is a par 28, meaning that the goal is to get your disc in the basket within three throws per hole. Measuring in at a total of 826 meters, it’s a nice enough length to get some real exercise in without being too strenuous for smaller children.

Great For All Skill Sets

You don’t have to be a first-time disc golfer to enjoy the layout here, as Alexander Heights features holes that are ideal for even more advanced players. A nice mix of technical and wooded shots are blended with more open options that will have you longing for birdies in no time. Some holes even provide the opportunity for veteran disc golfers to aim for an ace!

Whether you are in need of some new plastic while you’re in the area or are unexpectedly trying disc golf for the first time, you’ll be pleased to know that a local milk bar has you covered. You can purchase discs at affordable prices and then head over to the course to see how they fly.

As a quickly growing sport in Perth and around the world, disc golf can offer hours of family fun by providing a safe and engaging activity for all ages. Bring your little ones out for some fun on the course and don’t forget to stop by the play structures afterward – even after a round of disc golf, we’ll bet that your kids won’t be able to resist the monkey bars! The next time you’re near Alexander Heights, take some time to explore Ian Robbins Park and play some disc golf while you’re there!
