Have you heard of disc golf? I had heard of it and seen a couple of courses, but no one in our family had played it before. When Kestrel contacted me about reviewing a couple of their disc golf sets, I searched for a local course where we could play. I saw that there was a disc golf course located at Aldrich Park in the heart of the UC Irvine campus so we decided to check it out.
The Kestrel disc golf sets each come with three sizes of discs: a driver, mid-range and putter. These discs are made of high quality plastic and are Professional Disc Golf Association approved!
I like how these Kestrel sets come with their own bags. They make it easy to transport and keep the sets together at home.
At first we found a nice open field and practiced throwing the discs back and forth.
Next we started our hunt for the disc golf baskets, which look like this:
However, none were to be found. We even asked a couple of students along the way. I had D look up the course map on his phone and he figured out that this course did not use the baskets. Instead, their “holes” were light posts wrapped with different colors of tape.
The discs are designed for different distances, just as you use different clubs in golf. We ended up guessing where to start from and which target to aim at.
Even though we did not play an “official” game of disc golf, it was still a lot of fun. n wanted to keep on playing, but our parking time limit was up! Next time we will have to find a better marked course with real baskets. However, even if there are not any disc golf courses near you, I think it would also be easy to make your own course, since you really just need to set up targets.
Disc Golf is a great way to spend time together outdoors as a family. A Kestrel Disc Golf set would make a wonderful Father’s Day gift.
