About the course
THE most exclusive disc golf course in the world. To play here, you have to either be military working with the 109th Airlift Wing, a civilian supporting the National Science Foundation, or rich enough to pay your way to McMurdo. Playing here will have you fighting unforgiving frozen earth, throwing against biting cold winds, and dodging heavy machinery as you play through McMurdo's shipping yard. Truly an incredible experience to play here. Watch out for the polar bear on hole 7.

It was a balmy -32. Played in a tank and shorts. Lost all extremities to frostbite. Would recommend 10/10. No polar Bears since this isn’t the South Pole

They ain't kiddin' about bringing these polar bears a Coca-Cola on hole 7! I forgot to bring them one and the bears started a rap battle on my crew. They also ate all of our limbs.
