About the course

THE most exclusive disc golf course in the world. To play here, you have to either be military working with the 109th Airlift Wing, a civilian supporting the National Science Foundation, or rich enough to pay your way to McMurdo. Playing here will have you fighting unforgiving frozen earth, throwing against biting cold winds, and dodging heavy machinery as you play through McMurdo's shipping yard. Truly an incredible experience to play here. Watch out for the polar bear on hole 7.

I think I might be the only review from someone who has actually played here. Had a round in November 2024 and I made a YouTube video about it if anyone is actually interested in seeing what it’s like to play - @mattykjordan. Played in a blizzard, half the starting signs were buried in snow so it was a bit hard to find some of the holes, but overall a great experience!
