‘FlingGolf’ added to 5 West Virginia state parks

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — There’s a new activity being rolled out by West Virginia State Parks.

FlingGolf is described as a blend of lacrosse and gold that offers “a fresh and engaging experience for players of all levels,” according to a press release. FlingGolf is played on a golf course and, according WV Parks, it can be played alongside those playing traditional golf.

The new activity has already been added to Cacapon Resort State Park, Canaan Valley Resort State Park, Pipestem Resort State Park, Stonewall Resort State Park and Twin Falls Resort State Park. FlingGolf opportunities with equipment rentals are available at these parks daily throughout the golf season.

Brett McMillion, Director of the WV Division of Natural Resources, said in the release that FlingGolf is both family-friendly and easy to do, regardless of skill level.

If you aren’t sure what to expect from the sport, you can attend upcoming workshops at the following parks.

• Aug. 3 – Twin Falls Resort State Park
