6th hole at White Spruce Park in winter

One of the advantages of disc golf over regular golf is that you can play in the winter time. I did a blog post about disc golf when we were there in the fall.

Last weekend we went out and played 9 holes at White Spruce Park in Brampton.

Saturday was a calm day, wind-wise, and it was perfect for a walk in the woods.

Playing disc golf in the winter in one way is a little more difficult due to the bulkier clothes and heavy boots, and it’s definitely a good workout trudging up and down the hills in the snow.  Just be sure to dress warm.

In another way it’s a little easier in that the trees have lost their leaves, so it’s a little more open and easier to see your targets and discs, although we almost lost one disc in the snow, but found it after about 10 minutes of looking (phew).

Last winter we didn’t get to disc golf because the park was so damaged from the ice storm.  The winter before we went out a few times, and actually used discs as sleds to go down one of the steep hills (it was a little bit of a rough ride).

Hopefully we can get out and play a few more times this winter.
