With all the frustrating events surrounding disc golf here in Austin lately, it is nice to finally have some good news.
The improvements to the Zilker course are well underway!!!
The large limestone benches have already been installed on all 18 holes, and the new concrete tee boxes on the south side are done!
Fresh mulch will be put out this Saturday morning (9 am – 1 pm) during the club’s workday, and more work is still ahead with stuff like paths, erosion controls, and other Circle C / Searight type features.
Later in the year, we hope to put in new tee signs. This will mark the first time there have been signs at the Zilker course since the late 80s or early 90s.
The work is being done through a partnership between the club and the Austin Parks & Rec. Dept. The has committed over $2000 to this project and the more we can raise, the sooner we can get it all done. The city is spending a lot on this course as well, through materials, equipment, and labor.
If you would like to make a donation to the project, you can mail it to the club at WDGC, PO Box 33531, Austin, TX, 78746 or you can donate in person at the Disc Nation store at 1218 W. Slaughter Lane (and if you do, they will match that donation dollar for dollar – thanks Disc Nation!). You can also do it in person at the club’s Ice Bowl at Zilker on February 5th or at any of the club’s other minis and events.
If we end up with more than we need for Zilker, we’ll spend the rest on Bartholomew J
Thanks!
