Discover Greensboro Guide Summer 2020

KEELEY PARK DISC GOLF COURSE Northeast Greensboro course drawing rave reviews from disc golfers. It isn’t even a year old, and already the new Keeley Park Disc Golf Course is a favorite among Triad players. The course and new mountain bike trail are the first features of this second phase of Keeley Park development. Andrew Duvall and Michael Shugart of Innova Disc Golf designed the 18-hole course. “The City of Greensboro wanted to invest in their community with a top level course,” Duvall said. “Keeley Park is as nice of a park as you will find in the country and the disc golf course had to match.” The course shows off rolling hills, large open areas, wooded areas, and even a fairway through a bamboo forest. “It’s a lot like designing a great trail. It needs to tell a story, and you need to have variety both in what you are playing and a variety in what you are looking at,” Duvall said. Disc golf is played with rules similar to traditional golf. The Keeley Park course offers par 3s, 4s, and 5s. Several holes have two tee pads, so players can get a variety of different experiences from the same course. It can be enjoyed by beginners and tournament players. A disc golf course pro shop will open at the Keeley Park Sprayground later this year.
