Cranberry Getting One Of World's Longest Disc Golf Courses

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - One of the world’s longest disc golf courses should be open in North Boundary Park within a year. Preliminary engineering and design work is expected to begin soon on the $265,000 Cranberry Township Community Chest initiative.

According to the Community Chest, the Cranberry disc golf course will be the longest in the state and one of the 10 largest among the 7,400 disc golf courses worldwide. It also will be among the most challenging, with the design anticipated to include elevation changes, tight fairways and many trees players will have to navigate around.

Much like a conventional golf course, each hole in the course will have three different concrete tee pads to allow play for those at every skill level, including the long-throw championship level. Although the course will be nationally sanctioned for a rotation of tournaments, community Chest officials envision making it a premier course hosting a yearly multi-day tournament that attracts the game’s best players.

The project also will include a six-hole ADA-accessible recreational/instructional disc golf course and two miles of new nature trails that will connect with other nearby trails. The course will be located on the 30-acre western section of North Boundary Park along a currently undeveloped hillside.
