Park Projects – Disc Golf

Montgomery Parks has opened our first 18-hole disc golf course located at Northwest Branch Recreational Park, adjacent to the National Capital Trolley Museum (NCTM). M-NCPPC owns and operates an 18-hole disc golf course at Calvert Road Park in Prince George’s County, and there is a 27-hole, public disc golf course at Seneca Creek State Park in Germantown.

Montgomery Parks created this disc golf course not only because players have been requesting one for years, but it was also recommended in the 2022 Parks Recreation and Open Space Plan (PROS) as a facility type, we should be providing to county residents.
