Mini-golf
People of all ages and abilities can enjoy the sport of mini-golf. Hit a colored ball from a tee-off point into a hole in as few shots as possible. Of course, there are always various interesting and tricky obstacles for players to putt through, over, under, and around.
The same but different
Disc golf is played much like golf but with a flying disc. The sport shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in this case, the fewest throws). A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the “hole.” The trees, shrubs, and terrain provide challenging obstacles. Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket, completing the hole. The region is now home to nine disc golf courses.
