Town of Morrisville, NC
Home MenuTemporary Disc Golf Course
Disc golf is a growing sport nationally and in the Triangle area. By establishing a disc golf presence, the Town of Morrisville provides our community the chance to participate in a safe, non-contact activity that does not disrupt current levels of service.
We are proud to introduce the new 9-hole temporary course, Dragonfly. Located at 280 Town Hall Drive, this all new course winds through the future Town Center site behind the Morrisville Police Department. The Dragonfly is an all Par 3 course.
The Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department is exploring effective uses of our temporary baskets and our open spaces as a way to provide park visitors an opportunity to get outside more and enjoy more recreational opportunities. We want our community to use all of our parks on an ongoing basis.

Sunrise to sunset
How to play
- Disc golf is played like ball golf, but you throw a flying disc instead of hitting a ball with a club. One point is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is incurred. The object is to acquire the lowest score.
- Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area.
Players should not disturb plants, trees, or wildlife. Any disc that comes to rest more than six feet above the ground is considered unplayable. After declaring an unplayable lie, the disc must be thrown from the new lie on the ground, directly underneath the unplayable lie (and will incur a 1-point throw penalty). - After the tee-off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first. The player with the least amount of throws on the previous hole is the first to tee-off on the next hole.
- After the tee-off, the thrown disc must be left where it came to rest until a marker disc (or object) is placed on the playing surface between the hole and the disc, directly in line with the hole, touching the thrown disc.
- With 10 yards of the pole, a player may not step past the point of his or her lie in making their putt. Falling or jumping is not allowed. If a disc comes to rest in, not on top of, the pole hole basket, that constitutes successful completion of that hole.
- Out of Bounds (OB) = all roads, parking lots, the cemetery, and other designated areas
