Disc Golf
Beginner & Advanced Courses
Disc Golf at Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort
Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned veteran, we have two great courses to challenge and hone your skills on.
The White Thorn (intermediate to advanced) 18 hole course is located at the top of our Motherlode Chairlift (7,400 ft). To play, you’ll just need to purchase a Scenic Chairlift Ride to the top from the Dodge Ridge Sport Shop (lower level of the Creekside Lodge) and then play 18 holes of disc golf back down to our base area at 6,600 ft.
The Ponderosa (beginner to intermediate) 18 hole course is located at our base area. To play, you’ll just need to purchase your Ponderosa 18 hole round of disc golf from the Dodge Ridge Sport Shop.
