Disc Golf
Omni Mount Washington Resort
310 Mt Washington Hotel Rd, Bretton Woods, NH
Disc golf is played much like traditional golf, except that flying discs are used, and the 9-“hole” course is set in the base area of the Bretton Woods Ski Area.
Each player carries a disc golf package, including an individual scorecard and a set of 2-3 discs of different sizes and weights.
Much like the way a set of golf clubs are used, one of the three discs is selected for each “shot”, depending on the distance, wind, and other elements.
Disc golf is recommended for groups of up to four players. This small recreational course has been designed for beginners and families with young children to get outside and try out the sport.
Loon Mountain Resort
60 Loon Mountain Rd., Lincoln, NH
NH’s Highest Disc Golf Course. Our alpine-style Loon Peak Disc Golf course, located deep in the White Mountain National Forest, is one of the most unique disc golf venues in New England. Conditions on the course can be variable. Be prepared for potentially wet conditions, tall grass and mountainous terrain. Please dress and plan accordingly.
Enjoy the stunning views of New Hampshire’s White Mountains on the 9-hole disc golf course. As you play the smooth straight and challenging dogleg holes, the course takes you in a loop around the top of Loon Peak. Board the Gondola and take a short ride to access the course. When you’ve crowned your disc golf King or Queen, load the Gondola for a ride down or enjoy a scenic hike down to base.
