ATTENTION ALL Golf Course, Resort, Ski Hill, Campground, Youth Camps, or other private property owners looking to add a new amenity to your property!

Are you looking to diversify your properties amenities or expand your list of services to include the addition of disc golf? Have you considered the additional revenues you could be taking advantage of by adding disc golf to your property? I will analyze your property and your business structure to provide you with an honest assessment of what I think disc golf can provide for you, your customers, and your community. Disc golf can be a profitable business . . . especially when combined with other amenities because once it is in the ground the additional maintenance required for a disc golf course is fairly minimal, especially if on a wooded property where there is minimal grass to be mowed or a golf course where the grass is already being maintained!

I am extremely proud to say I am now one of the HouckDesign team of designers. They are the #1 firm in disc golf course design. I’ve studied under John since 2015 when they first started offering workshops for people wanting to learn disc golf course design and have attended every educational offering that has been offered, and I even presented at the last conference presented by 3discgolf which was started by Dee Houck. Please contact Dee Houck at HouckDesign if you are interested in hiring a disc golf course designer, we can help you through the decisions that need to be made to understand what kind of course you might want, and also what your property might be able to handle.

Temporary Course Designs:

The Golf Club at Camelot (Lomira, WI)

Started with 24 players for a 1 day event in 2013 and have grown this event up to 240 players over 2 days in 2023. The golf course also agreed to leave the baskets setup for all of October and November and we will be doing the same in 2024.

The Orchards at Egg Harbor Golf Course (Egg Harbor, WI)

Started in 2017 with a 1 day event. Now we host Doubles on Saturday at Wildberry Fields in Bailey’s Harbor but still use the golf course for the sanctioned portion of the weekend. 2024 will be our 8th year of this event.

Horicon Hills Golf Club (Horicon, WI)

We approached the owner of Horicon Hills because they are owned by the same family as Camelot. We ran this event 1 year in 2019 and had 80 players. We hope ot get a second chance to play that course because we were unable to use golf cards due to multiple inches of rain leading up to the event.

The Rock Sports Complex (Franklin, WI)

In 2014, I setup a temporary course on the edges of the ski hill for their season ending party Ruckus at The Rock. We had 18 players attend this event and another 20-25 attend my weekly winter league the next day.
