Disc Golf in Maine This Fall: Lit Courses and Weekly Doubles

Yes, you can keep playing disc golf in Maine after the clocks change. AllOutMaine lists 20 verified places to play disc golf in Maine, and 10 drop-in listings for the sport, most of them weekly random doubles that keep running into November. Here's where to find a round, a group, and even a lit course now that it's dark by late afternoon.

Why late fall is a good time to throw

The leaves are mostly down, so lost discs turn up faster. The bugs are gone. Courses are quieter on weekdays. The catch is daylight: with sunset coming early, a weekday round after work is hard to fit in unless a course has lights. That's why the weekend morning doubles below are worth knowing about, along with the one lit course in our listings.

A few cold-weather habits help: bring a towel for wet discs, wear layers you can throw in, and pack a brightly colored disc for when the ground is covered in leaves (or, soon, snow).

Play under the lights

Sabattus Disc Golf

Sabattus has three 18-hole courses (Hawk, Falcon and Eagle) plus the Owl, a 9-hole course with lights. Our listing says the Owl runs under the lights Thursday and Friday, 4 to 10 PM after daylight saving ends, with last tee at 8:45 PM. The regular courses run 9 AM to dusk, with last tee an hour before sunset. All courses charge a fee, there are restrooms, and the listing notes reservations are needed, so check their website before you go.

• Owl Singles league under the lights: Thursdays, 4 to 8 PM. Listed cost is an $8 under-the-lights fee plus $8 for the league (+$6 payout).

Weekly random doubles

Random doubles (sometimes called random draw) is the friendliest way in. You show up, everyone's names go in a hat, and you're paired with a partner for the round. You don't need a team, and you'll meet people who play your local course. Times below are what our listings show; groups shift their schedules as the days get shorter, so check before you go.
