Why Disc Golf Is Perfect for College Students
Disc golf checks every box for the college lifestyle: it's free or nearly free at most courses, requires minimal equipment (one disc costs less than a pizza), takes 1 to 2 hours per round, works as a solo study break or a group hangout, and happens outdoors away from screens and dorm rooms. A single $12 disc and a pair of sneakers is all you need to start playing between classes.
Getting Started
Check if your university has a disc golf club — most larger schools do, and they're always looking for new members regardless of experience level. Club members can show you the best local courses, loan you discs to try, and connect you with the broader disc golf community in Ames, IA. If your school doesn't have a club, starting one is surprisingly easy.
