Disc Golf is growing in Minnesota, just as in the rest of the country and the world. This means more courses, more players, more tournaments and more fun!
Pay to Play courses are the future of disc golf and are already appearing around the country. Crowd funding is the ideal platform to realize a multi-course disc golf complex within 1 hour of the twin cities.
We have a unique opportunity to create a disc golf resort, and at the same time offer 1 year, 5 year and Legacy memberships at a reduced price during the building phase only.
About Megadisc
Megadisc is a sporting destination for disc golf enthusiasts featuring four championship level 18 hole courses, golf carts, a pro shop and much more.
These championship level courses are co-designed by two of the top professional disc golfers in the world: Cale Leiviska and Ross Brandt.
As the number of disc golfers continue to grow, course construction will focus on multi-course sporting complexes, just as we have seen in other sports such as baseball and football. Our purpose in constructing Megadisc is to lead the way in the disc golf industry and set the standard of what a disc golf course should be, while eliminating what should not be on a disc golf course: vandalism, erosion and overcrowding.
We have put together a team of disc golfers who are die-hard enthusiasts of the sport, including business entrepreneurs, professional disc golfers, tournament directors and artists, all of whom are devoted to making Megadisc a top destination in the world for disc golfers.

Megadisc Members Only Tournament
Becoming a Legacy member at Megadisc not only provides you with 365 fun-filled days of disc golf in a private setting but will include an annual Members Only Tournament. This tournament will be open to Megadisc's Legacy Members, those disc golfers who stepped up to the teepad and delivered by helping fund Megadisc from the very beginning by purchasing a Legacy Membership. Our Members Only tournament will offer large cash payouts every year. Our inaugural tournament will have $25,000 added cash with $10,000 set aside for first place. Legacy members may enter themselves into the tournament or may allow a representative to use their spot.
Become A Legacy Member
Becoming a Legacy Member means you are a founding member of Megadisc, and you should be rewarded for your help. Our Legacy memberships are more than just lifetime access for you to our disc golf complex. Legacy Members enjoy discounted rates on camping and proshop purchases, as well as entry into our annual Members Only tournament featuring huge cash payouts. Legacy Members will also have their name engraved into our Founding Members wall, which will be displayed proudly in front of our pro shop. But these benefits extend much further than a lifetime. Legacy Memberships are transferable. This means you can sell your membership at anytime or you can pass it on to a loved one upon your death. As Megadisc grows and improves over the years, the value of your membership will continue to grow.
That means the number of Legacy Memberships is fixed. Once they are all taken, no more will be issued. When you weigh the benefits of a Legacy membership, this is truly the best deal we could offer any avid disc golfer.
