The best disc golf courses in Charlotte
Ordered by player rating across verified rounds. Filter by what you're in the mood for.
The disc golf capital of the South — more championship courses per capita than anywhere. Charlotte's courses are seriously good, and most of them are free.
Charlotte is the best disc golf city in the South, period. Hornets Nest is the famous one — open front nine, wooded Piedmont back nine, and a tournament history that includes the national championship. Nevin Park's Nightmare layout is the long, brutal sibling, and Kilborne, Reedy Creek, and The Scrapyard round out a top tier most metros would kill for.
Most of Charlotte's mapped courses are free, and the variety is the point: open parkland, dense Piedmont woods, water carries, and one 1,001-foot par 5 (well, that one's across the border in Kentucky). The Charlotte Disc Golf Club runs a packed tournament calendar, and the weekly doubles and tag rounds keep the competitive scene humming year-round.
New here? Start at Kilborne for the gentle intro, then face the Nightmare once you're feeling bold. For gear, Another Round Disc Golf in Plaza Midwood is the local hub — full pro shop, league nights, and a taproom.
