PLU Meadows Disc Golf Course brings easy fun to the Parkland campus
Pacific Lutheran University keeps a green pocket on the south edge of campus. In that space you will find PLU Meadows Disc Golf Course, a short loop that winds around open lawn, shade trees, and a few well placed fences. Students built the first version more than ten years ago. Campus Recreation now maintains the layout and keeps it open to students, staff, and visitors from sunrise to sunset. Play is free. All you need is a couple of discs and calm aim.

Amenities & Practice at PLU Meadows Disc Golf Course
A small kiosk at Hole one holds a course map and basic rules. A practice basket sits nearby for warm up putts. No formal pro shop or rental desk is on site. Restrooms are inside the adjacent student center when the building is open. On game days parts of the field may be closed so check posted schedules.
Food & Beverage
Campus dining venues sit a short walk north of the course. The Commons and the campus coffee shop both serve guests when classes are in session.
Rates / Booking / Local Tips
There is no fee and no tee time system. Show up, wait for any group ahead, and start when clear. Early mornings are the quietest. Afternoon rounds share turf with soccer and ultimate pickup so stay aware and yield when needed. Bring bright plastic in autumn when leaf drop hides discs. The wind can swirl between classroom buildings so pick a stable disc on holes three and eight.
