About
Birmingham Disc Golf is the first disc golf course in Birmingham, located at Ackers Adventure on Golden Hillock Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom. Disc golf is a game that is similar to “regular” golf, but instead of using clubs and balls, players use discs or Frisbees. The goal of the game is to throw the disc as close as possible to a specially designed target called a basket, and then throw again from where the disc landed, aiming to get the disc into the basket in the fewest number of throws.
The disc golf course at Birmingham Disc Golf utilises an area of the Ackers Adventure centre that was previously used as a 4×4 offroad track. Paths have been cleared through undergrowth to create a nine-hole course. The course is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for players of all ages and skill levels. There are two sets of tees: the Red tees, recommended for beginners, are shorter and easier, while the White tees are longer and more technical.
To play at Birmingham Disc Golf, players can simply turn up and pay on the day, although it is recommended to book in advance to ensure availability. Upon arrival and check-in, players will be issued with a hire disc, scorecard, map, and pencil. The course is located outdoors, so players should dress appropriately for the weather, and it is recommended to wear boots or trainers due to the uneven terrain and trip hazards in the woods. Sandals are not permitted for safety reasons.
For those new to disc golf, Birmingham Disc Golf provides a video from their friends at Disc Golf UK that explains the basics of the game. Prices and session times for public sessions can be found on their website, and groups, parties, and bespoke bookings can be arranged by making an enquiry.
