Black Bear Ridge: Forest & Fairways Grand Opening!

What a Night at Black Bear Ridge

This past Saturday marked the grand opening of Forest and Fairways Disc Golf Course at Black Bear Ridge, and the turnout said it all. It did not disappoint.

A Great Mix on the Fairways

One of the best parts of the day was who showed up. We saw veteran disc golfers alongside people picking up a disc for the very first time, and longtime glow fans throwing their first glow round right next to newcomers experiencing it for the first time too. That is exactly the vibe we love to see, a course and a night built for everyone, no experience required.

The Course, the Property, the People

This course is beautiful, this property is stunning, and the staff at Black Bear Ridge made the whole day feel effortless, from the grand opening ceremony to the last glow disc thrown on hole 9. Nine holes of short and long tee options, set against nearly 900 acres of rolling, tree lined land along the Moira River, made for a first round on Forest and Fairways that is going to be hard to top.

A First for Everyone Involved

The event was a night of firsts. It was the grand opening of a brand new course. It was the first time many players teed off at Black Bear Ridge at all. And it was the first ever Dr. Glow Experience in Eastern Ontario, our glow in the dark round finally heading east of Toronto.
