A proposed 18-hole disc golf course at Hockinson Meadows Community Park took a step closer to becoming a reality after the Clark County council unanimously voted to approve the project at its Tuesday morning meeting.

Currently, about 70 acres of the 240-acre park are developed in ballfields, trails and an off-leash dog area. There’s another 40-acre parcel of undeveloped land at the park that the county currently leases for grazing that will be the future home for the course.

At the council meeting, Clark County Public Works Director Heath Henderson said that the grazing permit will expire in the spring to allow the plans for the course to move forward.

“The popularity of (disc golf) is definitely increasing,” Henderson said. “It’s something that’s desired throughout the county.”

The game of disc golf is similar to traditional golf. Players tee off and attempt to throw Frisbee-like discs into metal baskets.
