- How do I get to the Toronto Island Disc Golf Course?
The course is a 15 minute ferry ride or water taxi from downtown Toronto.
We highly recommend to pre-purchase ferry tickets in advance through the official City of Toronto website.
The main ferry that will take you closest to the course is the Ward's Island ferry. Another alternative is the Centre Island ferry. Schedules for both ferries can be found in the official city of Toronto website at the link below. Please note the ferries will be running on their Fall schedule.
Here are the ferries that are closest to round 1 tee off we suggest.
If you miss these, there are other options but you may run the risk of missing the tee off! Alternatively, you can take one of the many water taxi services available, however schedules and prices vary. Please plan accordingly!
