New disc golf course designed by pro player to open in Asheville next month

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — There are big plans ahead for the Asheville Municipal Golf Course.

The golf course is set to debut a new disc golf course designed in collaboration with Chris Dickerson, a professional disc golf player and the 2020 U.S. Disc Golf Champion, the City of Asheville announced via a press release.

The championship-length, 18-hole disc golf course will take over the front nine area of the Asheville Municipal Golf Course, featuring a par 61 layout with two tee pad placements per hole, the release said.

The front nine of the course suffered severe damage from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, but months of restoration efforts have allowed the property to become the region’s newest disc golf course. The course will be a temporary use of the space until full restoration at the golf course can begin, city officials confirmed.

The opening date is set for Friday, Aug. 1, at 9 a.m.
