Disc golf in Langley: Dale Ball Passive Park and Raptors Knoll

Two free 18-hole disc golf courses in the Township: Dale Ball Passive Park in Brookswood and the volunteer-built Raptors Knoll in Aldergrove.

Two courses, both free, both on Township land, and they play nothing alike. One is a pond-side park course in Brookswood. The other is a 40-acre volunteer project on top of an old landfill in Aldergrove.

Dale Ball Passive Park

The Township’s park map carries a note that disc golf is allowed here and that hole locations are on the map posted in the park, so start at the sign kiosk by the parking lot. The Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) listing, which is the sport’s own course directory, counts 18 holes with concrete tees, a total length of 4,860 feet (3,856 feet from the shorter tees), and a mix of open ground and tight woods. Thirteen holes are under 300 feet, so it is a good one for a first round.

The open stretches are the old gravel pit. The PDGA notes the course is subject to flooding in winter, which fits the big pond that dominates the Township map. Washrooms, drinking water and a picnic shelter are marked near the lot, and the park runs dawn to dusk.

Raptors Knoll

This is the bigger, hillier one. The Township describes a 40-acre course built on a former landfill that was capped with soil and planted with trees, designed around a walking trail with safety in mind. It sits kitty-corner to Aldergrove Regional Park inside the 100-acre Jackman Wetlands Park.

It exists because a group of disc golfers formed the Jackman Wetlands Disc Golf Society, raised money and did the work with Township support and local donors. The Township put the volunteer effort at about 2,500 hours. At the opening in June 2019 it called the course another free recreation activity for the community, and it still carries no fee.

By the PDGA’s numbers it plays 6,840 feet from the long tees (5,500 from the short ones), with seven holes under 300 feet, six between 300 and 400, and five over 400. Many holes have more than one tee or basket position, so there is a short and a long way to play them. The PDGA says to bring the course map, which is good advice on a layout this size. One hole, the Township says, points straight at Mount Baker.

Picking one

Dale Ball suits an hour after work: short holes, a parking lot at the gate, washrooms close by. Raptors Knoll suits a Saturday when you have a couple of hours and want the long holes and the views. Dale Ball floods in winter, so look at the forecast before driving out in January.
