Park 96 Disc Golf Course
Calgary, Alberta

The Park 96 Disc Golf Course was officially opened in May 2003. It has the distinction of being the first private community course ever opened in Calgary. The baskets, signage and course development were entirely funded by the community of Parkland for use by its residents and guests. It is surely the best course that Calgary has ever seen, and is introducing the sport to a wide spectrum of people. It is now played by a great age range and has many families participating. The Parkland course should be viewed by other communities as a model in successfully implementing this inexpensive and enjoyable sport for their residents.
Recently there have
been a lot of non-member disc golfers showing up at the Park
96 gates wanting access to the park, which is causing issues
for the maintenance staff. The players seem to think
that they can show up and gain entry to the park
- this is NOT the case. Park 96 is a PRIVATE
community park and we are allowed access to the park to play
golf as Associate Members only. Associate Memberships
are no longer available for the 2009 Season.
By no means should
non-member disc golfers show up and expect entry into
the park.
There is currently no admittance to the park for Associate
members guests - no exceptions.

Park 96 is a private disc golf course. This means it is open for use by all Parkland residents and their invited guests only. For more information about 'Associate Memberships' call the Park 96 office at 271-7516
