The Calgary Disc Golf Club was founded in 2010 to help grow the sport that we all love in Calgary and area. Since that time, the CDGC has seen the sport grow rapidly as we have successfully installed a number of new courses in Calgary.
2011 – Baker Park – 18 holes (NW)
2012 – Old Refinery – 18 holes (SE) (closed in 2013, returning Fall 2019)
2013 – Thornecliff – 9 holes (NE)
2015 – Lloyd Park – 18 holes (SW)
2019 – Old Refinery – 18 holes (SE)
Aside from our direct efforts we have seen multiple new courses pop up. A new 18 hole course was installed in 2018 in the NW (David Richardson Memorial Course) and in 2019 another in the SE at Bonavista Downs. This brings Calgary’s total number of courses to 11 including Forest Lawn (2001-CDGA) and the three private community courses (Park 96, Lake Sundance and Lake Midnapore)
These courses have been planned and realized by the relentless efforts of the CDGC working with the City of Calgary and individual communities. CDGC Memberships have been vital in giving us the capital to work with to further enhance courses and create new ones. Please help support the growth of Disc Golf in Calgary by becoming a CDGC Member!
You will find lots of the history of disc golf in Alberta within this website. As we transition from the ‘classic’ web page to the newer slicker mobile friendly version we will be moving information over as we are able.
We welcome all comments and suggestions and are always looking for volunteers.

We teach disc golf at our school in Airdrie. I live in Calgary and have played a few of the courses casually, but didn’t realize there was a local club or league. Hoping to start a club with some of the schools in Airdrie, so I might be contacting you for more information.

Hey, I was wondering if there was any where in Calgary that you can rent the sets of discs? Hope to hear back soon.
CDGCAdmin
Hi Kaitlin,
There is not anywhere currently to rent discs, however you can buy a disc for $15 and play all you want.
Don’s Hobby Shop is a great start.

Hey,
My 13 yr old son and I have gotten into disc golf this summer. We play at Baker Pk and he uses a disc golf disc while I use an Ultimate frisbee (is that allowed btw?? I know casually but i mean if we were to go in a tournament? I have better control with it!)
Where can we play with others in a more organized way?
Maureen Burton-Bukhari
My husband and I are interested in learning disc golf. The only experience we have ever had is with a PlayStation game and it looks like something we would want to do in real time. Where do we start?
James
HI Maureen. Did anyone ever get in touch with you? The best thing to do is a buy a putter from one of the local disc golf shops and the pop by one of the courses close to your house. If you’re on Facebook, feel free to join us and ask for more info there. There’s tons of folks happy to introduce you guys to the sport. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalgaryDiscGolfClub/
