If you don't know what disc golf is, it's just like traditional golf only you use a Frisbee (disc).

Twenty elevated metal baskets catch the disc, much like holes in the ground catch golf balls. The goal is the same, to complete the course in the fewest number of shots.

The course is short enough that a round can be played in an hour. The basic requirement for playing disc golf is remarkably simple. All you need is a golf disc that can be purchased at Olive's General store for about $15 and can be used for years to come.

Disc golf is easy to learn. Most people understand the principles of traditional golf and these carry over into disc golf. Beginners invariably find throwing a Frisbee much easier than striking a golf ball.

Entire families can play together! Kids love things that fly and modern golf discs are high tech aerodynamic marvels. Disc golf can also be played alone allowing great flexibility in scheduling.

One important thing that traditional and disc golf have in common is that they are played in beautiful settings. The distinguishing characteristic of Sipapu's course is the way in which it travels along and across various ski runs and the Rio Pueblo. Utilizing a ski mountain offers limitless possibilities for pin placements. Sipapu has across-the-river shots, dramatic elevation changes, forests of trees and exquisite fairways like nowhere else.

There are NO green fees to play the new 20 hole disc golf course at Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort, located on Hwy. 518 in the Carson National Forest. Our season begins with the melting of the snow around May 1st and comes to a close once the snow arrives in November.

Sipapu also offers a weekly random doubles every Thursday afternoon. From May through Oct.

Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort features a top-of-the-line Seasonal Mach III, 20 hole PDGA disc golf course. In June 1998, Sipapu held the New Mexico Disc Golf Championships, coming in at #38 on the list of the 50 Richest PDGA Events for 1998. We have continued hosting tournaments ever since.

Very few disc golf courses in the world can boast of having a store, restaurant, bathroom facilities, lodging and even a lounge right on site. Soak your feet in the cool water of the Rio Pueblo after your round and be sure to sample the homemade fudge in Olive's General Store to replenish your energy. If this isn't heaven in the disc golf world, it must be close.
