Wildcat Opens Disc Golf Course

Pinkham Notch, NH (Ski Press)-Along with the quiet breathtaking moments of scenery and summit views via the Wildcat Express scenic gondola, can now be seen and heard colored discs in flight toward a curious looking metal basket, the sound of clinking chains, and the obligatory “Nice shot!” more often reserved for the traditional golf course. After a short chairlift ride and walk past the ZipRider start deck, players begin and progress down designated fairways that may be more recognizable during the winter skiing and riding season as Cheetah, Snowcat Slope, or Wild Kitten trails. Cost to play the new course is $15 per person and that includes lift ticket and a 3-disc rental set comprised of driver, mid-range, and putter discs. Cost for players who bring their own disc(s) is only $10. “I did quite a bit of research trying to understand the sport and see its growth potential here in the Mount Washington Valley and was thankful to have New Hampshire PDGA representative Rich Reilly visit Wildcat Mountain to provide initial feedback and suggestions early on,” said Thomas Prindle, Director of Marketing and Sales. “To see the course open as quickly as it did, thanks to the hard work of lift and snowmaking crews tapped to get it done, I believe it may evolve with time and is capable of seeing more holes added to it. It’s a great course to learn the sport and be challenged. I’ve been having fun playing it, though I need to work on controlling my fade off the tees and short game.”
