Disc Golf Players
First, we would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the volunteers who have given their time & talents to help create the new disc golf course in Fulton, Ky. This project was made possible through the efforts of Union City Disc Golf Club along with support from the City of Fulton, Kentucky, the Fulton Tourism Commission, and generous local donations.
While a small amount of work still remains, the course is open and playable at this time. The course is located across from Fulton City High School (on Steven Beal Dr.), within the Weaks Nature Trail. In addition to disc golf, players can enjoy a beautiful nature walk along the trail.
The first disc golf tournament is planned for June 2026 - details will be announced closer to the date.
For more information about the course, please contact us at 270-472-9000.
