The best place in Ames to slid. Don't slid there if you are novice to sliding. There are many hills to slid over but the best one is very near to the Gateway Hills apartments.

We came in March for our first time. A bit muddy around the baskets but not bad out at all. I have been disc golfing for 20+ years and thought this course had a nice arrangement of holes with some fun moderate skill shots in the woods. Love the hill on the first hole !!

An excellent place to disc golf. They keep the course fairly well maintained. It is a decently challenging course for casual players. Parts of the course get pretty muddy at times. There are a few major places that discs can get lost.

Let’s role play. I’m the grass at this frisbee golf course. “Please cut me I’m so long and it’s hard to find frisbees in me and I keep itching everyone’s legs”

Amazing disc golf course with lots of variety that is muddy when it rains. Some holes are long and open and some holes are short and wooded. There are 18 holes, but you can easily do just the front 9 or back 9 because holes 1 and 10 start near the parking lot, and holes 9 and 18 end near the parking lot (why aren't all disc golf courses this way!?). It can get VERY crowded in the late spring and early fall when 1) the weather is nice and 2) the college students are around. But it's great in the summer. There are also 3 sand volleyball courts (2 next to each other and then 1 on the other side of the building) and a small playground at the top of the hill by hole 18. The hill is popular for sledding in the winter.
