Disc Golf

Ponca City is one of Oklahoma's premier disc golf destinations, with eight free public courses spread across the city's parks and lakeside. New players should start at the 5th Street course (also called Bunny Hills) at War Memorial Park, across from the high school — it's the most beginner-friendly layout, with a few drainage ditches on the front five to keep things interesting. More experienced players come for Bois D'Arc, famous for having some of the tightest tree tunnels in Oklahoma, and its lakeside sister course, The Lake, which was redesigned ahead of the 2026 tournament season. Rounding out the options are Willow Springs out near the refinery (watch for the resident geese — the local "enforcers"), the nine-hole Mando course at Johnson Park with its smaller baskets, and the short Coon Creek layout. Every public course is free to play. The Ponca City Disc Golf Club (PCDGC) maintains the courses and hosts tournaments throughout the year, including the Ponca City Open and its PCO Winter Edition. New to the sport? A starter disc pack runs about $20, and the free UDisc app offers GPS guidance and updated maps for every layout.
