Williamsburg is known for its history — and also its golf courses.

Now, the “other” golf — disc golf — is gaining some attention.

The Colonial Disc Golf Club will host a three-hour disc golf clinic from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 27 at Waller Mill Disc Golf Course.

The clinic is aimed at adults, and local disc golf pros will teach them how to putt, drive and throw. All skill levels are welcome, and new players are encouraged, according to a news release from the city.

Discs are available to borrow or purchase at the Waller Mill Park boathouse.

Disc golf at Waller Mill Park is played on trails running through wooded areas of the park. The goal of the game is to throw a plastic flying disc into a metal basket.

Like regular golf, each hole has a par for the number of throws it should take to get the disc in the basket. Waller Mill Park has an 18-hole course, but a shorter version of the game can be played on nine holes.
