Cary, NC. Diavolo at New Hope, a 22-hole disc golf course in Cary, has been named the most popular disc golf course in North Carolina for 2025 by UDisc! Opened in October 2020, the course spans 48 acres and has quickly earned national and international recognition, ranking as high as No. 7 on UDisc’s World’s Best Disc Golf Courses list and currently sitting at No. 17 worldwide. The course has also hosted major tournaments, including the 2024 Tim Selinske United States Masters and the BODYARMOR State Games Disc Golf Championship.

The recognition reflects a long-standing partnership between the Town of Cary and the Capital Area Disc League, with the project originally approved through the Town’s 2012 Community Investment Bond. Designed by Capital Area Disc League President Jay Pontier and Cary Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources staff member Mike Sink, the course features multiple tee options across 22 holes to accommodate players of all skill levels. Its design incorporates a mix of open and wooded terrain, water features, and sections along the American Tobacco Trail greenway, helping establish Diavolo at New Hope as a premier disc golf destination for both residents and visitors.
