Frisbee Golf Brings Friends and Families Together in Steele
If you are looking for a fun family sport try disc golf. I found a new twelve-hole disc golf course nestled in Steele’s Four Seasons Community Park. The twelve hole disc golf course is designed for a novice beginner like me and the most avid Frisbee golfers. Named after the heritage of many local area residents and funded in part by the Horizon Program, the ‘Norse Course Disc Golf Santuary’ is also becoming a popular spot for birding information. I found information on 48 different birds that can be found and heard around the Steele area. At first, the word ’sanctuary’ seemed a odd word for a place to throw a flying disc into a basket. However, the more I tried to get the fewest number of disc throws into the baskets throughout the course, the more I was also learning about birds. The combined challenges of improving my Frisbee skills and expanding my knowledge of birds brought about a new appreciation for the the word ’sanctuary.’ I could have spent the entire day in Steele at the Norse Course Disc Golf Sanctuary. It’s free to the public. Bring your own discs, family and friends and enjoy a great day of golfing and birding in Steele.

I live near the 4 Seasons Park where the new Frisbee Golf Course was built and am so happy to see teens often playing golf there this summer. There has been much more activity than I had imagined there would be - maybe because I’m the non-athletic type and had never even heard of frisbee golf until the course was built across the street. Kudos to the Horizons group who brought frisbee golf to the park!
