Weekly Events
Held on Monday evenings when daylight warrants, the most common format is random draw doubles, but we also play singles. In the spring, 12 weeks of Monday Night doubles are used as a points series in which the winner earns free entry to the Dragan Disc Golf Classic. Once that series ends, singles and doubles are alternated through the summer and early fall.
CURRENTLY DISCONTINUED EVENTS
Skills Challenge Doubles – discontinued in 2024
Held in mid/late April, this is a revival of an old tournament format combining best shot doubles with a driving contest and a putting contest. Points earned in the driving and putting are subtracted from the golf scores to give an overall total.
Mulligan Challenge – discontinued in 2023
A one-round, flex start challenge in which players attempt to shoot a target score on each hole using as few mulligans (re-throws) as possible. Because of the flexible nature of the event, they can occur multiple times a year.
Ice Doubles – discontinued in 2021
Traditionally held late February or early March, a best-shot doubles tournament first played in 2011
Maine Disc Golf Tour – tour discontinued in 2020
Annual stop by the Maine Disc Golf Tour, an independently run tour that travels throughout Maine each summer. The date varies but so far has been held in late July each year.
