Kansas's oldest remaining original course design, built in 1983
Description
Kansas’s oldest ORIGINAL disc golf course!
*As of Aug 9th, the course is set up for the 41th Annual Frontier Open, taking place Sept 6-7th. The Original layout is fully playable - white and blue pins may not be available. We recommend playing the Original Layout, the 21-hole "Choose Your Adventure" Layout, or trying out the event-specific "East & West" layouts.
Rooted in disc golf history, the Frontier Park Flyin’ Bison Disc Golf Course stands as a testament to the sport's earliest days. Crafted in 1983 through the collaborative vision of dedicated locals and the Parks Department, this course represents the enduring spirit of its creators, including Ron Rice, Karen Elder, Les Dreiling, and Deb Ewy. Positioned among the pioneering first 170 disc golf courses built in the US, and as the forth in Kansas, today the course is the last original grassroots course in the state (the first 3 have either been redesigned or removed), the Flyin’ Bison DGC preserves a legacy while offering players a scenic and challenging experience within a picturesque park.
The course offers a diverse and challenging park-style disc golf experience featuring mature trees, gentle slopes, and a winding creek among other unique features. In addition to the fully-intact “Original” 1983 layout, multiple tee pads and 3 basket options per hole present a variety of shot options and memorable holes.
