Disc golf players converge into Junction for the Freezer and Sizzler disc golf tournaments each year. Local enthusiasts, Charles Chapman and Hoyt Moss designed the courses that are growing in popularity throughout the disc golf community. After the success of the first two customized courses, the Disc Golfers partnered with the Junction Golf Club (ball golf) to place 18 disc baskets on their course. This sport has rapidly grown in popularity across the nation and Junction is becoming a premier location for professional and amateur athletes to enjoy.
Approximately 250 athletes participate in the annual Sizzler Disc Golf Tournament. Each year, the number of players has grown and efforts are being ramped up to increase the February Freezer Tournament’s participation. Bill & Ted’s Awesome Disc Golf Adventures, Inc. have agreed to administer the Freezer Tournament and are looking forward to a successful event February 25-27, 2022.

Athletes have a unique shot when they participate in Junction, they trek up to Lovers Leap, to attempt to make the well-known, sought after, “money shot” each evening after tournament play. Players used a variety terms for the feat; “Top of Texas” & “Mountain Shot”, which is an opportunity to toss a disc, “aka-Frisbee” from the top of Lovers Leap and have it land into the basket down below at the Easter Pageant grounds. Make that shot and you are the winner of a grand prize. This shot is yet to be made.
The vision of disc golf was first seen by Hoyt Moss and Charles Chapman approximately 13 years ago. These two disc golf enthusiasts did not give up on seeing the development through to where it is today although they have been faced with much criticism, obstacles, and challenges. These event pack hotels, campgrounds, and river cabins for 3-4 days, which generates hotel occupancy tax dollars, as well as sales tax money for Junction.
Make plans to venture over to the courses at the city and county parks, as well as the latest addition at the Junction Golf Course. The courses (baskets) are available at the two parks for anyone to utilize and enjoy year round. The Junction Golf Club is a tremendous partner with disc golf as they have made arrangements to place baskets throughout their ball golf course, which has proven to benefit both styles of the sport. Disc golf, no different from ball golf, can be played by young and old alike, families are oftentimes seen enjoying the fun, entertainment, and skill of golf on Junction’s courses.
