Marshall County’s newest 18-hold Disc Golf course was completed in August 2024 and is in Plymouth’s Centennial Park.
Disc golf is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, with membership doubling in the past five years compared to the sport's first 50 years.
The course in Centennial Park was originally a 5-hole Eagle Scout project completed in 2017 by Curtis Smith. Disc golf plays just like ball golf. The holes are played in order, 1-18, and each has a par (the number of throws it should be completed in).
This sanctioned course, improved and extended by Wesley Skiles, now offers a mix of open, wooden, and mixed holes, including water and elevation. Even the shorter holes are challenging for their size.
The Plymouth Park Board approved accepting seven donations for the Disc Golf Course through tee-pad advertising. For a donation of $250, the advertiser will sponsor a tee-pad for five years. During the April Park Board meeting, donations were accepted from Culligan Soft Water Services, Masterson & Associates Inc., Shyla Cooper, Wildman Uniform Store, Gutter Pros & General Contractors, Steven Lonie, and Daniel Tapia, disc golf players.
Sponsors already approved include: Wesley Skiles/Brandon Thomas disc golf players, Coca-Cola, NexGen, Marshall County Fiber, Steven Lonie, Brandon Thomas in memory of his Grandfather, High Flyers Disc Golf Supply, and the St. Joseph Valley Disc Golf Club.
