Disc golfers enjoying their time at the newly ranked Beal Slough Disc Golf Course.
The Beal Slough Disc Golf Course, located near 60th Street and Pine Lake Road, has achieved an impressive ranking of 70th place in UDisc’s latest Top 100 Disc Golf Courses globally. This achievement marks a jump of 18 spots from last year’s rank and highlights the vibrant disc golf community in Lincoln, Nebraska. With unique designs catering to various skill levels, excellent facilities, and upcoming events, Beal Slough continues to put Nebraska on the disc golf map.
Exciting news is brewing in the world of disc golf! The Beal Slough Disc Golf Course, tucked away near 60th Street and Pine Lake Road, has just landed a fantastic spot at 70th place in the latest rankings of the World’s Best Disc Golf Courses Top 100 by UDisc. That’s right; our very own gem has jumped an impressive 18 spots from its previous ranking of 88th in 2024!
Notably, Beal Slough is the only disc golf course hailing from Nebraska to make it onto this prestigious global list. This accolade isn’t just about numbers; it’s a testimony to the hard work and dedication of the local disc golf community that has nurtured the sport and optimized the course for players.
UDisc determines its rankings based on feedback from players, pulling data from over 16,000 courses around the world. This means that each of these rankings reflects real player experiences and preferences, making the achievement even sweeter for Beal Slough.
Designed by none other than the talented Vice President of the Lincoln Flying Disc Club, James Fleegee, the Beal Slough course offers a delightful combination of wooded areas, open spaces, and subtle elevation changes. This makes it a challenging yet fair experience, catering to players of all skill levels. The course, which opened in 2021, stretches out to a full 18 holes and is designed as a par 62 course, rated from challenging to very challenging.
To accommodate players of varying skill levels, the course features three distinct layouts: a white layout for amateurs, a blue layout for professional players, and a gold layout for the site’s best. This way, everyone from beginners to seasoned pros can enjoy the scenic landscape while challenging their skills.
The course is not just about playing; it also includes convenient facilities for practice. Players can hone their skills at the dedicated practice area featuring standard and marksman baskets, warmup nets, and even a 500-foot driving range. These offerings help nurture upcoming talent and ensure a great experience for all who step foot on the course.
The city owns Beal Slough, but the Lincoln Flying Disc Club keeps it thriving through a unique partnership. They handle the construction and maintenance while raising funds through donations, with suggested daily fees of just $5 or an annual membership for $75. This community effort not only keeps the course in top shape but also encourages local players to support their beloved outpost of sport.
Exciting events are on the horizon, too! Beal Slough is set to host the Star City Classic this May, touted as Nebraska’s largest disc golf tournament. Furthermore, the course will participate in the Disc Golf Pro Tour Qualifying Series, bringing even more attention to this remarkable site.
Lincoln is becoming a hot spot for disc golf enthusiasts, boasting a total of five courses. Alongside Beal Slough, players can find disc golf action at Tierra Park, Roper Park (East and West), and a beginner-friendly course at Bethany Park. The variety of courses available caters to everyone, making disc golf a growing community activity.
As Parks and Recreation Director Maggie Stuckey-Ross pointed out, this achievement highlights the blossoming disc golf community in Lincoln and Nebraska at large. With more players joining the game and exceptional courses like Beal Slough leading the way, the future of disc golf in the region looks brighter than ever!
