Overview Map | Doubles Registration

Dear PDGA Player,

It is with great pleasure that we would like to cordially invite you to Manitowoc, WI for the 2025 Discraft PDGA United States Women’s Disc Golf Championship during the week of June 19th-22nd, 2025. The PDGA and the local USWDGC team are looking forward to seeing you in Wisconsin this Summer!

About the Event

Host

Discover Eastern Wisconsin Disc Golf and Lakeshore Ladies Disc Golf Corporation are honored to host the 2025 United States Disc Golf Championships and are excited for you to explore the beautiful Wisconsin lakeshore this summer.  Manitowoc County is home to 2 of the Top 100 courses in the world as determined by UDisc, and we are proud to have both showcased in this event.

Courses

Silver Creek Park

  • Basket Type – DGA Mach X
  • Tee Type – Concrete
  • Year Established – 2000

Manitowoc's first disc golf course started as an object course in the late 1970s. It was established as an 18 hole course in late 2000 when it hosted it’s first official event. In 2012, the course was expanded to a new 27 hole layout. In 2015-2016, the final course expansion to 36 holes was completed, including a new bridge over the park’s namesake Silver Creek. In total, the course now has 36 holes, 22 alternate basket placements, 2 or 3 concrete tees on every hole, and an 8 foot high lighthouse basket with a solar light along the beach of Lake Michigan. UDisc currently ranks Silver Creek number 78 in the world.

Rollin Ridge Disc Golf Course

  • Basket Type – DGA Mach X
  • Tee Type – Concrete
  • Year Established – 2010

This privately owned disc golf course has been open to the public since 2011.  A UDisc top 100 property, currently ranked 48th in the world, Rollin Ridge includes a pro shop, players lounge, wrap around deck, driving range, campsites with showers and a championship caliber disc golf course. The vision of owners Steve and Kat Pisaro plus the help of many dedicated individuals make you feel privileged to play here from the moment you arrive.

Lower Cato Falls Park

  • Basket Type – DGA Mach X 
  • Tee Type – Concrete
  • Year Established – 2010

Lower Cato Falls County Park had been (and still is!) a beautiful park for fishing, picnicking, and hiking for many years. In 2010 the county, local businesses, and disc golf volunteers teamed up to create a brand new disc golf course. Assistance from five Manitowoc County school districts helped get this park into the ground. In 2022, a major park upgrade was completed in placing a pavilion with restrooms, new playground, small shelter, and concession area. In summer 2024, with the knowledge that US Women’s was coming to the area, all baskets were upgraded to the DGA Mach X, matching Silver Creek and Rollin Ridge.

Here’s a glimpse behind the curtain of what we have planned for the week:

Check-in and Player Meeting

Player check-in will be available on Tuesday June 17th from 8AM-5PM and Wednesday June 18th from 8AM-3PM at the Silver Creek Park Fieldhouse.
