Now Open: Disc Golf at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts

Calling all disc golf lovers—and history buffs! There’s a brand-new way to experience the magic of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts: a 9-hole disc golf course located on the very grounds where the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair made history. 

That’s right—now you can play a round of disc golf right at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, where legends once rocked out for three days of Peace, Love and Music.

Play Where Peace, Love, and Music Once Reigned 

Recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, Bethel Woods is a place where American culture changed forever. And now, thanks to the support of Innova Discs and the Sullivan Catskills Visitors Association, this iconic destination is home to a professionally designed course that’s completely free to play. 

Each of the 9 holes features two paved tee pads and Innova Discatcher Pro baskets—perfect for everyone from seasoned disc golfers to first-time players. This course was designed by Steve Brinster, a 2013 U.S. Champion with more than 100 career wins and a member of both the New Jersey and New York Disc Golf Halls of Fame. Brinster has designed over a dozen courses across the Northeast, and his latest brings professional-level fun to the serene landscape of the Sullivan Catskills.
