Why Kodiak Island?
Kodiak Island had long been home to passionate disc golfers but lacked a permanent course. A previous project fell through, but this new site—just a short drive from the city of Kodiak—provided an ideal solution. With land leased by Outdoor Kodiak and supported by the Natives of Kodiak, the project reflects a strong community desire to invest in outdoor activities and accessible recreation. The combination of grassroots energy, local leadership, and Indigenous partnership makes it a model for future rural and remote disc golf development.

About this Project
In June 2025, the Paul McBeth Foundation completed its first project in Alaska, installing an 18-hole disc golf course on Kodiak Island—one of the most remote and scenic locations in the United States. Built in partnership with Outdoor Kodiak and located on land owned by the Natives of Kodiak, the course features concrete tee pads and DGA Mach 5 baskets, making it the island’s first permanent disc golf facility. With no prior courses on the island, the project now offers long-overdue recreational access to local residents, including many Indigenous community members and personnel from the nearby U.S. Coast Guard base.

Generous support from Gold Sponsor UDisc helped secure the course equipment, which arrived by boat from Seattle courtesy of Silver Bay Seafoods. Additional backing from the Kodiak Elks Lodge underscored the community’s commitment to expanding recreational opportunities on the island.
