On Sunday, the GYSD Sunday Singles tournament will be held and is open to the public. The event will be 27 holes from mixed tee positions.

CCYC Disc Golf Course was established in 2015 and is located on the campus of the Clinton County Youth Council after-school youth center. Disc golf follows the rules of traditional ball golf, with the difference of a flying disc replacing a golf ball and clubs. A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target (a suspended metal basket) which is the “hole”.

The CCYC course design snakes and traverses a partially wooded layout throughout the five-acre campus that has direct access to the Luther Warren Peace Path. A Disc Golf Pro shop inside the youth center sells new and used disc golf discs. For more information, visit fb.com/ccycdiscgolf or call 937-382-2828.
