Discover our mission ↗The bigger picture
MORE THAN
A LEAGUE.
We believe organized disc golf should be something people look forward to playing—and something the entire community can be proud of.
Great Lakes Disc works with participating league organizers, including Grand Rapids Disc Golfers United (GRDGU), to create welcoming, competitive experiences that give players a reason to return week after week.
But the mission doesn't end when the last score is submitted. Together, we're helping build better courses, stronger relationships, and more opportunities for the next generation of players.
The Community Fund
EVERY ROUND
MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
A designated dollar amount from every round played in participating leagues goes into the Community Fund. It's a simple idea with a lasting purpose: when we play, we help improve the places that make our sport possible.
STRONGER PARKS.
Helping the shared public spaces we enjoy receive the attention and investment they deserve.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES.
Assisting with the planning, design, and installation of new disc golf courses in West Michigan.
WE DON'T JUST PLAY IN OUR PARKS.
WE INVEST IN THEM.
WE INVEST IN THEM.
How we're seen matters
PROUD TO PLAY.
PROUD TO GIVE BACK.
We want our neighbors, local businesses, and park departments to recognize disc golfers as people who respect shared spaces, care about their communities, and help make local recreation better for everyone.
Competition with a purpose
REWARD THE PLAYERS.
GROW THE GAME.
Players deserve well-organized leagues, great competition, and meaningful payouts. We believe those experiences can go hand in hand with real investment in our local courses and parks.
Stronger together
ONE MISSION.
MANY LEAGUES.
This mission is bigger than one league, one format, or one organizer.
GLD Leagues welcomes league runners who share our commitment to exceptional player experiences and meaningful community impact. Each league brings its own identity and energy while contributing to a common purpose.
By working together, we can help create more opportunities to play—and leave West Michigan disc golf better than we found it.
