Camp Nominingue Disc Golf Course

Camp Nominingue DCG is a private 18-hole dual tee pad disc golf course in Nominingue, Quebec, Canada.[1] It features artistic woodpile obstacles in a planned forest setting. The course is located opposite Camp Nominingue itself,[2] on the northeastern side of the road, and it is open to the public year-round for free. Players can rent disc golf discs at the l'Île de France auberge,[3] at Les Toits du Monde accommodations,[4] or the Dépanneur l'Essentiel nearby.[5] The course was designed in 2017 by amateur disc golfer Don Lane and professional disc golf course designer Christopher Lowcock.[6][7]

History

Heiko Dechau, local chef at the l'Île de France auberge and disc golfer, pitched the idea of a disc golf course to Camp Nominingue director Grant McKenna, who in turn reached out to the Association de Développement de Nominingue (ADN) and the municipality of Nominingue.[7] Approximately twenty local volunteers helped create the course.[7]

Tournaments

A longer, temporary course called Club et Hôtel du golf Nominingue DGC was set up approximately 2 km North of Camp Nominingue DGC proper to host the PDGA-sanctioned Le Phé-Nominingue tournament in October 2019.[8][9][10][11] The tournament consisted of one round at the Camp Nominingue Disc Golf Course and two rounds at the Club et Hôtel du golf Nominingue DGC.[12] The latter was designed by Christopher Lowcock on most of the land of the Club et Hôtel du Golf Nominingue ball golf course and featured temporary Prodigy baskets.[13][14]
