The backbone to every great disc golf course and disc golf community is THE CLUB, and strength lies in numbers.

Bowen Park Disc Golf Course is a great course thanks to the hard work of many individuals. But, we can not take our course for granted.

If you are a disc golfer who enjoys playing at Bowen Park, join the NDGC. If you want to ensure your course stays in the ground and is respected by the community, join the NDGC. If you would like to meet other disc golfers in the area, engage in friendly competition, and be loosely affiliated with other players like yourself, join the NDGC!

Mission Statement

The mission of the Nanaimo Disc Golf Club is to:

  • Promote the development of disc golf and other disc activities through organization, cooperation, and competition.
  • Be responsible for all course-related matters, such as future planning, course improvement, course design, basket placement and local tournaments in the Nanaimo Regional District.
  • Serve as a working partner with the City of Nanaimo on all disc golf course-related issues and activities.
  • Organize and coordinate the efforts of member volunteers to increase the quality and quantity of disc activities in Nanaimo.
  • Provide information on disc golf and other disc related activities.
  • Educate its members and the community on the benefits and joy of “disc play”.
  • Emphasize safety by encouraging all players to ensure, as best possible, that other park users are clear of potential disc flight paths before throwing.

Weekly Events

Weekly events provide set days for disc golfers to get together for a round, and meet new people that also love the sport. Our hope is to provide something that every level of player can enjoy, and with your support we can make that happen. Come out to an event to join in the fun, and let’s work together to make disc golf awesome on Vancouver Island!

The following are the weekly events we host. Be aware that start times change with the season, and some events get shut down temporarily due to light or other restrictions. Please arrive before the start time.
