The Eugene Disc Golf Club (EDGC) was formed in 1992 by local Eugene area Disc Golfers with the intent of fostering a community of saucer tossers in the Southern Willamette Valley. The Club has expanded from the original three founders to a roster of over 150 disc golfers from all over the Pacific Northwest. The EDGC now sponsors two Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) tournaments every year, the Great Northwest Open in April and Eugene Disc Golf Celebration Tournament in September. Both tournaments have attracted over 140 participants from around the Northwest and beyond. The Celebration Tournament has been running for 18 consecutive years. In 1993 the EDGC took over running the event from the City of Eugene and has continued to do so for the last 15 years! In the winter the Club has supported the Oregon Liquid Environment Series run by EDGC member Tom Embree. This series of fun one day tournaments at local Southern Willamette Valley parks has been running for 15 years. The Club has actively promoted the sport to new players through clinic outreaches for kids in grades K-12. The Club has sponsored deserving local Amateur players to help them attend the PDGA Disc Golf World Championships and other PDGA events. In 1997 the EDGC embarked on an ambitious proposal for a new 18 hole Disc Golf Course at Dexter State Park outside of Eugene. Through the hard work of volunteers from the EDGC and generous donations from Disc Golfers from all over Oregon, the first 18 baskets were planted in the ground at Dexter Disc Golf Course in June of 2001. Currently, the EDGC has submitted proposals for disc golf courses at Lynx Hollow State Park near Creswell south of Eugene, Richardson Park at Fern Ridge Reservoir, and Laurelwood Park in Eugene. Lynx Hollow has been approved and the installation should begin in the next year. In the future the Club hopes to keep its positive involvement with the growth of Disc Golf in Oregon and the Northwest as one of it's top priorities!
