New disc golf course opens to public in Swindon
A new disc golf course has opened at Basset Down Complex in Swindon. The disc golf course is now open to the public and joins the other activities offered by the complex, including footgolf, a Toptracer driving range, padel courts, and a restaurant and bar. Owner of Basset Down Complex Juliette Nutland said: "Disc golf is a fantastic addition to what we offer here. "It's active, inclusive, easy to learn and perfect for making the most of the outdoors — whether you're with young children, teens, or adults. "And being able to follow your game with a great meal or drink on the terrace makes it a brilliant full day out." Read more: Anger at 'daylight robbery' of retirement home fees and charges Like traditional golf or footgolf, the aim of disc golf is to complete each hole in as few shots as possible. However, instead of balls and clubs, players throw discs towards raised metal baskets. The complex's new disc golf course has two custom-designed courses built on the existing footgolf layout so the two sports can be played simultaneously. Discs can be hired on-site, and players will receive a scorecard or can use an app called UDISC for digital scoring and maps. After a round, players can relax and refuel in the on-site restaurant and bar, which features a balcony and outdoor patio area. The restaurant serves a seasonal menu made with locally sourced ingredients, along with a dedicated children's menu, cakes, Rays Ice Cream, and snacks. For those looking to enjoy a host of activities, Basset Down also offers footgolf, a driving range, and padel. To play disc golf, players can either turn up on the day or book a time slot online or by phone.
