Mission  Statement

Northern Flights Disc Golf Club was organized in 2006 for the purpose of promoting the international sport of disc golf in the greater Northern California area. It is the NFDGC's mission to introduce disc golf to our community and to establish broad based public support for the sport. Our purpose and mission are furthered through four primary focus areas: (1) new course construction; (2) current course maintenance; (3) establishment of working relationships with the local public entities, public benefit organizations, the business community and private individuals; and (4) education.

New course construction:

Disc golf is the fastest growing sport in the world, and in our area of Northern California . New course construction is necessary to accommodate this growth. The two courses in our area are heavily used. The establishment of new courses will decrease the use and impact of disc golf in the areas where disc golf is currently played. It will also ensure that other areas in Northern California will benefit from the relatively inexpensive recreational alternative that is disc golf, while providing a variety of courses for disc golfers to enjoy.

Current course maintenance:

Currently, there are two established disc golf courses in our area of Northern California . Course maintenance includes not only developing and carrying out a plan for the physical maintenance of these courses, but continuing our efforts to establish good relations with the others who use these recreational areas upon which these disc golf courses exist, and with the public entities that govern their usage. Currently, most course maintenance, except trash collection and weed abatement, is performed by members of the NFDGC.

Establishment of working relationships :

The success of disc golf in the community is dependent on the support of local public entities, public benefit organizations, the business community, as well as, private individuals who are willing to donate their time and efforts.  Coordinating with these various entities and individuals will ensure the success of disc golf in Northern California, while helping the community to realize the benefits of the sport.

Education:

NFDGC's goal is to educate people in our community about the sport and the numerous benefits disc golf has to offer the community at large.  We will also continue our efforts to teach new players how to play the sport through educational clinics, seminars and in the forums.  We will continue to encourage disc golfers and other users of multi-recreational areas to be environmentally conscious.  Finally, NFDGC is dedicated to educating public entities, public benefit organizations, the business community and private economic and communal benefits of disc golf.
