OWLS - Disc Golf 101

Join Naturalists in learning all about disc golf. We will cover the rules, how to play, and then break up into groups to play the course at the park.

Disc golf is a popular outdoor activity and disc golf courses are found in most communities.

This is an OWLS event - sponsored by Dubuque, Jackson, and Jones County Conservation - and is open to all adults.

This is a great opportunity for adults who don't know the rules or how to play to learn more about the game!

Free event.

Registration required.

Call (563) 652-3783 or email conservation@jacksoncounty.iowa.gov to register.
