New disc golf facility moving forward
by Christopher Boan | Tucson Local Media
A patch of parched earth that makes up a flood plain on the southern tip of the El Rio Preserve may soon spring to life as the town’s newest disc golf course.
That’s the goal put forth by a coalition of local disc golfers and the town, which proposed an Intergovernmental Agreement with Pima County—who controls the land in question—during the town council’s session on June 20.
The town previously operated an 18-hole facility in the pit from 2009 to September 2014, when flooding caused a levee between the course and the river to burst, creating the lake.
