TINLEY PARK, IL — The Tinley Park- Park District is planning to build an 18 hole disc golf course at Siemsen Meadow located at 167th St. and Harlem Avenue. The Park District is hosting a meeting to obtain public input on the project. The meeting is scheduled on Wednesday June 15th, 2016 at 7 p.m. at the Tony Bettenhausen Recreation Center. All residents and disc golf enthusiasts are welcome to attend the meeting.
The Park District has contracted with Disc Golf Park Inc. for the purchase of equipment and design of the disc golf course. A representative from Disc Golf Park Inc. will be attending the meeting to show the initial design of the disc golf course. We will take input from residents to help formalize the final design of the course. The meeting should take about an hour.
Disc Golf, also known as Frisbee golf or frolf (a combination of Frisbee and golf), is a game that is very similar to traditional ball golf. However, instead of using golf balls and golf clubs, players throw a disc into a basket or at a target. Score is kept the same with the lowest score winning. The object of the game is to finish the course in the fewest number of throws.
