People who want to try something different can find disc golf courses in Green Bay, the Fox Cities, Kewaunee, Manitowoc and all over our region.

However, a course located just miles east of Brillion on Highway 10 named Rollin Ridge has been rated the top course in Wisconsin and the third best in the country.

Disc golf is played just like real golf where players have a handful of discs and try to thread their drives through the trees and land the disc in a basket with chains.

“It is a family sport, it is a cheap sport,” said Ray Sheprow of Rollin Ridge. “Anybody can play we have three separate tee pads and pin locations suitable for professionals and beginners.”

It costs five dollars to play as many rounds as your arm can handle at Rollin Ridge, the discs range mostly from $10-20 and while most players have a full bag of discs a driver and a putter would be a good place to start.

Rollin Ridge has an entire wall of discs located in their pro shop that is open year round, the pro shop has a bar with televisions, food and a place to play pool.

“We’ve actually had people come here and say this is disc golf heaven,” said Sheprow. “They love the bar, people can camp here and we have a well maintained course.”

For Zacheriah Lampinen of De Pere, he makes the trip to play in leagues, today we caught up with his group that stuck around after league for some friendly competition.

“It is hard to get a whole group of guys together to play baseball,” said Lampinen. But, if you want to play disc golf you can find a whole bunch of people here who are in love with the sport.”

Rollin Ridge was created in 2007 and a lot work went into making the championship course, Sheprow listed painting, masonry and construction that people have pitched in to help make the course the top rated in Wisconsin.

Think of disc golf as way to get outside into nature and go for a hike in the woods, except while you are doing that, you are trying to get your disc in the basket.
