Champions Disc Golf Course now open to the public
Louisville’s newest 18-hole disc golf course is now open to the public for play. It’s located at Champions Park at the former River Road Country Club site near the intersection of River Road and Zorn Avenue, approximately two miles from downtown Louisville. “I want to thank the disc golf community in Louisville for their feedback and their patience as we worked to get this course set up the right way,” said Ozzy Gibson, Interim Director of Louisville Parks and Recreation. “We’re thrilled to give this growing sport a first-class venue in a great location.” The disc golf course cost approximately $50,000 to complete and work started in Spring 2022. As with the other Louisville Parks and Recreation disc golf courses, at Iroquois and Charlie Vettiner parks, play is first come, first serve. Disc golfers and park patrons alike are encouraged to be aware of all recreational usage in the park. Champions Park, which contains a gated dog run adjacent to the new course, is also a popular destination for dog walkers. Dog walkers at Champions, as in all local parks, are expected to have their animals leashed. Additionally, disc golfers are encouraged to be aware of pedestrians and to allow them the right-of-way as they’re walking through the course.
Please note that the 3rd hole on the course is closed until a hazardous tree can be removed from the vicinity. Golfers are urged to stay off the 3rd hole and use an abundance of caution when traveling between holes.
