Two Deer Disc Golf Course
Bogus Basin has rebuilt and relocated the disc golf, and it is now fully open for play.
Our disc golf course is unlike most parks and public courses. Rated as a par 3 course, some of the holes are not overly long; However, this course is highly technical, offering blind drives, bends, downhill holes, and uphill holes. Designed to offer left, right, fore, and backhand throws, this course is reminiscent of an east course style.
Please be advised that with a technical course comes the need to hike on various terrain, so sturdy shoes, snacks, and water are highly recommended, along with a strong sense of direction.
Start your journey at hole 1, located off the Southwest edge of parking lot 3 next to the Frontier Point Lodge.
