Ottawa Disc Golf Club

Since its first year in 2002, the Capital Classic has been the ODGC’s most prominent annual event. It has found homes at Jacques Cartier Park Disc Golf Course, Camp Fortune Disc Golf Course, and in 2008, they played at both!

Sanctioned as a C-Tier event, and an ODSA Provincial Disc Golf Gold Series Event, it is Ottawa’s only Professional Disc Golf Association tournament and attracts a fair amount of traveling players looking for a challenging course. The 2005 Capital Classic had an Ottawa record of 89 participants from all over North America!

TDed again this year by Mark Atos, the Classic will be battled on the Hill (CF DGC), June 22nd and 23rd. Camp Fortune DGC was installed on the Camp Fortune ski hill in 2005 and has undergone many layout changes since its inception. It is Ottawa’s most impressive course, with rough terrain, extreme elevations and tough pin placements. This is no walk in the park!

Come play the greatest game you can play in a park. Hog’s Back Park will be transformed into the disc golf destination, featuring a competitive disc golf course, an family friendly introductory course, on site course pros, and disc manufacturers.

The Ottawa Disc Golf Club, in partnership with the Ottawa-Carleton Ultimate Association, Daredevil Discs, the Ontario Disc Sports Association and the Ultimate Disc Golf Store, are celebrating 15 years of disc golf in Ottawa. Celebrate with us.

The event will be open from 8-8 on Saturday June 8th, and 8-5 on Sunday June 9th. The event is free to play. There will be disc golf discs available at the park, free of charge, though you can use any style of disc or Frisbee to play.

“The first World Championships I attended in Des Moines, Iowa, had 800 players from all over the world. Girls, boys, ladies, men. The youngest was 7 and the oldest was 77. This is a game that can be played throughout your entire life.” – Geoff Penton (Ottawa Professional Disc Golfer)

The Ottawa Disc Golf Club will be participating in the Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital, on Sunday April 28th, by cleaning up our disc golf course in Beaverbrook Park, Kanata.

Come out and demonstrate community pride by cleaning up our fairways, rough, and woods, “while enjoying the outdoors and ensuring that Ottawa stays clean, green, graffiti and litter-free.” (Cleaning the Capital)

Huge thanks to Andrew Kauffmann who organized this community building activity for the ODGC.

The clean-up will start up at 9 am.

The tournament directors of the Mud Slide at the Cove are crazy.

On April 14, 2013, they want you to play TWO rounds, in ONE day, at Alcove Disc Golf Course.

Situated in the most breathtaking disc golf environment you could imagine, the Stacie Sivyer designed Alcove Disc Golf Course will put your disc golf game to the test. Its holes command a full bag of tricks. The lines are awe-inspiring; greens are nasty; danger is abundant; and, the Orpheus like tonals can be heard singing across the topography. Awesome. There really is nothing like it.

And it might be the most demanding walk you’ll carry your bag on.

Two rounds. One day. A true player vs. course.

I take it back. They’re not crazy…you are; if you aren’t there.
