Toronto Island Park Disc Golf Course, Disc golf course on Ward's Island, Canada.
Description
The Toronto Island Park Disc Golf Course is an 18-hole facility on Ward's Island with concrete tee pads and baskets positioned throughout. The layout alternates between wooded sections and open areas that look out toward Lake Ontario.
History
The course opened in 1980 through a partnership between Toronto Island Disc Golf Experience and Toronto's Parks Department. It gained international recognition by hosting the World Championships in 1987, marking a significant moment in the sport's development.
Culture
The course draws players of all skill levels and has become a gathering spot for the local disc golf community. Visitors notice how different groups play together and use the open areas to rest and enjoy the lake views.
Practical
Reaching the course requires a ferry ride from downtown Toronto at Bay Street, followed by a walk of about 600 yards to the first tee. Visitors should keep in mind that weather and seasons can affect lake conditions during the crossing.
Did you know?
The course features dual tee configurations with two sets of 18 baskets at different distances, allowing players to adjust the difficulty within the same round. This setup lets beginners and experienced players both test their skills without needing separate courses.
