Things to Do at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park: Disc Golf

May 29, 2012 by Joi Sigers Leave a Comment

Disc Golf at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park

Lake Cumberland Disc Golf Course

Lake Cumberland State Resort Park is the very definition of gorgeous. When I see places like the Lake Cumberland area, I think, “Now Kentucky’s just showing off.”

And why not? If you’ve got it, flaunt every bit of it! Kentucky flaunts like few would even dare attempt.

Kentucky doesn’t hold anything back in the Lake Cumberland area, which makes Disc Golf at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park especially exhilarating. Imagine, fun with family/and or friends while surrounded by scenery that looks straight out of a painting.  Seriously, have your camera ready.

If you aren’t yet familiar with the fast-growing and ridiculously popular sport of Disc golf, let me give you a little background.  Disc Golf  is played like the traditional game of golf that you’re more familiar with.  Except, instead of using a ball, you use a flying disc or Frisbee and instead of using clubs, you use your hands. I don’t have to tell you how much cheaper a Frisbee is than golf balls and it’s pretty obvious that your hands come cheaper than a set of clubs!

Surprisingly, Disc Golf was first played in the early 1970’s I was surprised to learn that – I would have sworn it was a much more recent fad.  The goal of Disc Golf is to “complete” a hole in the fewest number of  throws or tosses.

Like the traditional game of golf, Disc Golf is great exercise.  Maybe even more so, since you walk a great deal more.  Fans of Disc Golf also love the fact that it’s a lot more inexpensive than other sports.

Did you know that there isn’t even a greens fee at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park?!

Benefits of Disc Golf:

  • Great exercise.
  • Fresh air.
  • Family fun for every member of the family – all ages!
  • Inexpensive.
