Three Peaks Disc Golf Course is one of two 18-hole courses in BLM’s Three Peaks Recreation Area near Cedar City, Utah. Built through a partnership between the Southern Utah University Disc Golf Club and BLM Utah, it represents the strongest existing BLM disc golf relationship in the country.

Course features

  • 18 holes through high desert terrain with granite formations and pinion/juniper
  • Large concrete tee pads
  • Innova DISCatcher baskets
  • Course map signage at every tee pad
  • Dual pin placements for variety
  • Gravel parking and informational kiosk
  • Free with a donation box on site

BLM’s public promotion

What makes Three Peaks significant beyond the physical course is BLM’s active promotion. BLM Utah and Cedar City Field Office pages currently promote disc golf at Three Peaks Recreation Area, with separate BLM pages for the Three Peaks and Ironside courses. This means BLM isn’t just permitting disc golf — it’s marketing it as a visitor amenity.

Why this matters for advocacy

Cedar City Field Office is the strongest proof point for BLM disc golf:

  • BLM publicly features disc golf on its own website
  • The partnership model (university club + BLM) is replicable
  • Two courses at the same recreation area show BLM is willing to scale disc golf
  • The high desert terrain proves disc golf works in typical BLM landscapes (not just Oregon wetlands)

Strategic significance

Cedar City Field Office is a Tier 1 pilot target for EXPLORE Act engagement. The existing relationship, public BLM promotion, and proven partnership model make it the logical starting point for deeper EXPLORE Act-aligned proposals — accessible course features, Section 112 inventory inclusion, and potential GNA agreements through Iron County.
