§ The lay of the land

A real disc golf town, if you beat the heat

The Triangle's crown jewel is Diavolo at New Hope in Cary — a 22-hole championship course opened in 2020 with water holes and fusion pairs, already one of the most-loved courses in the region. Cedar Hills Rotary Park is the old-school wooded test from 1984, and Kentwood is the classic short course where generations of Raleigh players learned the game.

Apex Nature Park rounds out the top tier with its short, creek-crossed woodland loop. All four of our published Triangle courses are free.

New here? Kentwood to learn, Cedar Hills to test, Diavolo to be impressed.
