Students in SUNY Poly's Civil Engineering Technology program completed preliminary course layout and signage design as part of their capstone experience. The project provides students with hands-on experience applying their academic knowledge to a real campus project.
Course Development
Disc golf baskets have been purchased and installation is underway. Concrete bases have been prepared and course locations will be finalized following a trial period and consultation with experienced players and community partners.
