The Ace Eagle Disc Golf Club is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to promote the sport of disc golf in the Evansville area. We are actively involved in the design, construction and maintenance of several local disc golf courses. We run and help financially support a number of PDGA sanctioned and non-sanctioned events each year. We promote growth in the sport by providing clinics for the public and run a “disc bank” program that loans disc golf supplies to the public at no cost. We host several special events each year to raise money for local charities and to foster camaraderie among our members. Anyone can join the Ace Eagle Disc Golf Club; even if you are not a disc golfer.
