Disc golf in Greater Sudbury is making headlines. CBC Sudbury recently published an article highlighting the rapid growth of the sport in the region — and Nickel City Disc Golf was front and center.

The feature includes an interview with Tom Hums, co-president of Nickel City Disc Golf (NCDG), who spoke about the increased demand for local courses and the impact disc golf is having on players and the broader community. Also featured was a French-language interview with JF Ménard, a dedicated NCDG volunteer helping support the sport's growth across Sudbury and the surrounding area.

The article spotlights the new course in Coniston and reinforces what we've known for a while: disc golf is gaining serious traction in Northern Ontario. With new courses popping up, more players getting involved, and increased media coverage like this, the sport is clearly turning heads.

The CBC’s attention is a step forward for broader awareness, but more importantly, it validates the time and effort volunteers are putting into growing disc golf at the local level. If you haven’t read the piece yet, it’s well worth your time.
