July 28, 2025 Update
The Town of Rocky Mountain House has begun preparations for the new disc golf course installation. The 9-hole course is being installed on Town-owned land adjacent to the multi-use trail. In order to accommodate the course, the Town has completed vegetation management, including mulching, in the area.
The Town of Rocky Mountain House thanks residents for their participation in the open house and feedback survey. Council reviewed all feedback that was received at its March 20, 2025 meeting.
Council tasked Administration to continue working with Wild Rose School Division and the Central Alberta Disc Golf Association to finalize a course design adjacent to the high school campus and the Town's multi-use trail.
A public feedback survey was available from January 30 to February 28, 2025. Residents were asked to review the available project information and provide feedback on the two potential locations that were identified for the Disc Golf Course through an online survey.
An informational open house about this project was held for the public on January 29, 2025. Click here to view the information that was presented.
As part of the 2025 capital budget, Town Council approved $40,000 for the installation of a Disc Golf Course.
Disc golf was identified as a potential new project in the Recreation Master Plan 2021 Update; it is a low-impact sport that people of all ages and skill levels can play. The course will be free to play and the equipment itself is quite inexpensive - only one disc is needed to start playing the game (average cost of $10-$20 each).
A Disc Golf Course weaves its way through the natural landscape. Installation requires minimal impact to the area. Disc Golf Courses have been installed along existing trail systems in several communities. Signage is posted and the course is designed to mitigate issues between users, with players yielding to trail users at all times.
