Emporians are super fans of this sport and play year-round. We were named the #1 Disc Golf Small Town in the U.S. for a reason – we know disc golf.

FAN FAVORITE DISC GOLF COURSES

With some of the best disc golf courses in the country and a culture that welcomes players, Emporia is a mecca for disc golfers.

JONES SUPREME - 2006 Jones Dr - First hole near Prairie St

The Jones Supreme course was built to meet the ever-increasing need for longer, and more challenging courses for disc golf’s top players. Even amateurs will enjoy the long throws and beautiful setting of this course. The limestone island hole 1 has quickly become an icon that everyone must play at least once in their life!

PETER PAN PARK - 515 S Congress St

The holes in this beautiful, historic park are short and technical. Peter Pan Park’s course is great for casual golfers and beginners, but with fun and unusual features, it can challenge more experienced golfers. Water is in play on up to 8 holes and hole 11 is a peninsula shot. Feel free to explore the memorials, stone structures, and natural amphitheater as you play through this historic park. Peter Pan is the place in town where you can get the most birdies.

HAMMOND PARK - Merchant St & 18th Ave

Hammond Park is a fun, 9-hole recreational level course set in a small park near Downtown and Emporia State University. Moderately wooded with no water features, this is a great course for beginners to hone their skills.
