The Rural Retreat Lake and Campground Disc Golf Course is officially open for visitors to enjoy. The Wythe County Parks and Recreation Department held the course?s grand opening on June 1, 2012.
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing recreation sports in the country. The sport takes the childhood game of ?Frisbee? and places it on a course focused on accuracy.
The course begins near the entrance of the park. It then curves its way through trees and up hills to give players the ultimate obstacle experience.
The course is aimed to attract players of all skill levels and ages.
Present at the grand opening were the course?s sponsors, without whom the course may never have been built.
?The new addition to Rural Retreat Lake and Campground, the 9-Hole Disc Golf, would not have been possible without the sponsorships from our nine businesses and individuals,? said Gary Cody, Wythe County Parks and Recreation Director. ?We appreciate the donations to make the disc golf course come to life.?
Each sponsor has its logo displayed at a specific hole. Sponsors for the course include:
Hole # 1 ? Wytheville Rotary Club
Hole #2 ? Blue Ridge Chiropractor
Hole #3 ? BB&T
Hole #4 ? Wythe Co. Community Hospital
Hole #5 ? Dr. Jerry Lowry and Family
Hole #6 ? Rural Retreat Electric and Pumping
Hole #7 ? Wythe Eye Associates
Hole #8 ? Wythe Physicians for Women, Dr. Elizabeth Fox
Hole # 9 ? United Country ? Anders Realty & Auction
The public can view the layout of the course by visiting the Wythe County website at www.wytheco.org. The department is also holding an Introduction to Disc Golf Class on June 14 at 6 p.m.
