Disc Golf's PGA Tour Came to Stockton—and Your Weekend Just Got Cheaper

If you’ve been searching for a reason to leave Sacramento this Memorial Day weekend, here’s one that doesn’t require dropping a car payment: the world’s best disc golfers just landed at Swenson Park in Stockton for the OTB Open—and watching them costs less than a decent lunch.

We’re talking 150 elite male and female athletes competing for a six-figure prize purse, described by event organizer Sean Jack as“the PGA Tour of disc golf.”This isn’t backyard frisbee. These competitors are operating at a level most of us will never comprehend, and the tournament was designed specifically so spectators can actually *see* what that looks like without binoculars or a massive price tag. Daily admission? Just $11.50.

Here’s what makes this setup genuinely clever: Swenson Park’s layout gives you sightlines that matter. There’s a spot called Pirate Island where you can watch six different holes at once from over the water—according to competitor Ella Hansen, a dream setup from a spectator perspective. The fairways are wide and open, which means you’re not squinting at distant shots; you’re watching the mechanics, the precision, the occasional splash when someone’s disc takes an unplanned bath. Those water hazards are no joke—athletes have put it in the drink multiple times, so the finale holes should be genuinely dramatic.

Expect around 2,000 spectators, vendors, and May sunshine in Stockton. The event runs through Sunday, so you’ve got a solid four-day window to make the short drive from Sacramento and catch something most casual sports fans have never witnessed live. If you’re tired of the same weekend routines and want to experience elite athleticism at a price that doesn’t hurt your wallet, this is your move.
