"Olympus is a top 5 course in my book. It's really good. The property is incredible, the shots are demanding but fair. It's a great course. A really, really great course."
Eagle McMahonDGPT Professional
"When I played it for the first time last year it was in my top 15. Now I would put it in my top 5 or 7. I really like it. Everything is fair."
Ezra Robinson2025 Supreme Flight Open Champion
"When I played it the first time — there's no other course that I've played like it."
Paul McBethCo-Owner & 6× World Champion
"There's a magic — there's an aura. It's peaceful, it's quiet, it's magnificent, it's beautiful, it's dangerous. You feel like you're in a dream or on a different planet."
Mike BarnettTournament Director, Throw Down the Mountain
"We want a clubhouse there one day, to where people can come, hang out, get food, get drinks, relax, and watch disc golf. They don't even have to throw a disc. We just want to share disc golf."

The Course
Unlike Anything
in Florida
A former limestone quarry with sheer cliff drops, tight wooded fairways, and terrain that makes pros compare it to their top five courses in the world.
What to Expect
The Terrain Will
Surprise You
Every first-time visitor has the same reaction. The course description doesn't prepare you for the scale of what you see when you walk to hole 1.
40
Floors Climbed Per Round
The pro layout racks up 40 floors of cumulative elevation gain, roughly 400–480 feet of climbing across 18 holes. Expect burning legs, multiple cliff drops, and sheer quarry walls over 50 feet.
2–3
Hours Per Round
The shortest layout averages 2h40m. The hardest nearly 3.5 hours. Plan your day accordingly and bring water.
70°
Average January High
Florida's best secret: perfect disc golf weather from October through April. Summers are sweltering. Visit in the cool season.

Built by the Community
Crafted by Hand.
Given with Heart.
The elevated tee platforms, log-railed walkways, switchback staircases, and spectator benches you'll find throughout Olympus weren't built by a contractor. They were built by
Danny McDonnell
, a volunteer who gave his time and craft to this course simply because he loves it.
Every plank, every log railing, every staircase cut into the quarry hillside is his work. It's the kind of contribution that no budget line item can produce — and it's part of what makes Olympus feel unlike any other course in the country.
"This is already happening — people investing in Olympus not because they have to, but because they want to."
Elevated hardwood decking with log railings, built on the quarry's slopes.
Hillside Stairways
Timber staircases and retaining walls cut into the quarry's steep terrain.
Spectator Benches
Arc-arranged seating clusters positioned to watch the action on key holes.
Ongoing Work
The course continues to improve. New installations are added regularly.
The Story
25 Years in the Making
From a mountain biker's tip-off to a $1.2 million rescue — the story of Olympus is as dramatic as the course itself.
1998
Gran Canyon Is Born
Designer Gregg Hosfeld — himself a former disc golf world champion — discovered the abandoned limestone quarry through a mountain biker named Brad Augsburger. After a dozen scouting trips through thick sawgrass, he designed and built the original 18-hole course, later expanded to 27 holes. That first January, Hosfeld narrowly beat 7-time world champion Ken Climo.
2006
Lost — The Property Sells
At the height of the housing bubble, owner John Benefield sold the property without warning. The new owners had no interest in disc golf. The course was abandoned. The disc golf world mourned one of its most beloved properties.
2013
Throw Down the Mountain
Mike Barnett of Sun King Discs spent years calling the new landowners, slowly increasing his offer to use the land for a single weekend. He finally succeeded, launching Throw Down the Mountain — an event that would become one of disc golf's most coveted tournament spots. Spots sold out in minutes. Players called it a shrine.
2023
The Rescue — McBeth & Cease Buy Gran Canyon
When the landowner's widow received a real estate offer, she kept her promise to Barnett and gave disc golf 72 hours to match it. Barnett reached out to Paul McBeth — the greatest disc golfer alive — who called MLB pitcher Dylan Cease. In three chaotic weeks, they completed a $1.2 million purchase and saved the property for disc golf forever.
2024
Olympus Opens to the Public
After clearing a frivolous lawsuit, McBeth and Cease officially opened Olympus Disc Golf Course — named for the mythical home of the Greek gods, reflecting both the demanding nature of the course and McBeth's personal disc line (Hades, Athena, Zeus). In its first full year, it ranked #80 in the world on UDisc, #1 in Florida, and hosted the DGPT season opener.
There is no on-site camping at Olympus, but Moonlight Meadows is a fantastic nearby option — a campground and disc golf course combo just a short drive away. It's also known as a great glow course. If you've never played glow disc golf before, it's a lot of fun with friends under the lights. A perfect way to make a full weekend of it.
Several hotels are available in Brooksville within 20 minutes of the course. Search for accommodations near Brooksville, FL to find the best fit for your trip.
We are not strictly enforcing tee time slots right now. Book a tee time and show up anytime before closing. Friends walking the course without playing do not need to pay green fees.
Group Size
Maximum group size is 5 players. Groups of 6 or more will be asked to split up. The only exception is Sunday Doubles, where larger groups are welcome as part of the event format.
Weather
You may play in the rain. We do not offer rain checks. Cancel your tee time at least one hour before your slot. If staff asks you to come off the course due to lightning, please do so immediately.
Animals & Dress Code
No animals on the course. Service animals are the only exception. Shoes and shirt are required to play. Come ready.
Lost Discs
Put your name and number on your disc. If found, we'll text you via Disc Rescue Network. Discs without ID go straight to the used bin. You have 45 days to pick up after notification.
Do I Need to Bring My Own Discs?
Discs are not provided but are available for purchase at the pro shop. The shop stocks a solid selection of discs, apparel, and accessories. If you're brand new, pick one up before you head out.
Is Olympus Good for Beginners?
Olympus is a challenging course by design — there is no easy layout here. First-timers should expect a physical and technical challenge. That said, the experience is unlike anything else in Florida, and most people leave wanting to come back.
Is There Parking?
Yes. There's a large on-site lot with plenty of parking. No need to worry about finding a spot.
Can I Come Watch Without Playing?
Absolutely. Spectators are always welcome at Olympus free of charge. During tournament weekends especially, it's worth showing up just to watch the pros navigate the terrain.
How Long Does a Round Take?
Plan for 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on your pace and the layout. The elevation and terrain slow things down compared to a flat course. Don't show up an hour before closing and expect to finish.
Food, Drinks & Facilities
The pro shop carries some snacks. There is no running water on the course for drinking — bring your own water, and bring enough. Restroom facilities on-site are porta-potties. We're actively working on improving amenities this year.
Best Time of Year to Visit?
October through April is ideal. Florida winters are mild, the course is at its best, and you'll avoid the summer heat. Summers are hot and humid — playable, but demanding. The pros play here in late February for a reason.
Is Olympus Cart Friendly?
Generally speaking, no. There are many sets of stairs throughout the course and you'd need to carry your cart up and down steep climbs 5-10 times per round. Not impossible, but not advised. Pack light and be ready to move on foot.
Waiver Required
All players and walking guests must sign a liability waiver before stepping on the course. Sign digitally before you arrive or at the pro shop when you check in.
"We want a clubhouse there one day, to where people can come, hang out, get food, get drinks, relax, and watch disc golf if they want. They don't even have to throw a disc. We just want to share disc golf in that clubhouse."

The Vision:
A Community Hub
Olympus is more than a disc golf course. McBeth and Cease are building toward something bigger: a destination where disc golfers and non-players alike can gather, eat, drink, and experience the magic of this property together. Membership puts you at the center of that community from day one.
Events
A Venue Worthy of the Best
Olympus has hosted the DGPT season opener three years running. It also hosts Sunday Doubles every week for everyone from beginners to touring pros.
Every Sunday, year-round. Open to members and non-members alike. Show up, sign up, and get paired with a random partner. No advance registration required.
If tee times are unavailable when you try to book, it's likely a tournament has the course closed to public play. Check upcoming dates before you plan your visit.

The DGPT's annual season-opener. Every February, the world's best disc golfers descend on Brooksville to open the professional season at Olympus. With an $80,000+ prize purse, professional broadcast coverage on Disc Golf Network, and thousands of spectators, this is the tournament that introduced Olympus to the world.
Florida's largest disc golf tournament and one of the sport's most legendary events. Before Olympus was a permanent course, TDTM was the only way to play this property. Tournament spots sold out within minutes. Players waited all year for it.
Now in its 14th year, TDTM runs across four weekends each February and March, all PDGA A-tier events spanning pro and amateur divisions, bringing hundreds of players from across the country to Brooksville.
Private lessons with a former touring professional, right here at Olympus. One of the most unique and challenging courses in the country is also one of the best places to learn.
